KaYama develops physically structured fats designed as a functional and healthy replacement for traditional solid fats. The company utilizes a proprietary processand formulation to transform high-oleic oils into solid, stable fats that replicate the texture, mouthfeel, and behavior of animal-derived fats. This solution enables food manufacturers to reduce saturated fat content by up to 90%, facilitating the removal of red-label nutritional warnings.
The resulting ingredient, Olearae Struct, is clean-label, E-free, and composed entirely of natural component, meeting growing consumer demand for transparency. The fat is applicable across a wide range of food applications, including meat alternatives, bakery, chocolate, confectionery, and dairy, enabled by its tunable functional properties. It also serves as an effective carrier for flavors and essential nutrients such as vitamins and omega-3, while delivering high oxidative stability that supports extended shelf life and full stability at room temperature
