ADM has opened a plant-based innovation lab in its Biopolis research hub in Singapore to develop plant-based products, tailor-made for the Asian consumer palate.
It will be staffed by a combination of experts in proteins and texturing ingredients, as well as flavor specialists, that would come up with next-level, on-trend, and nutritious products.
The lab may provide medium-scale sampling through forming and freezing capabilities to support market evaluation of new solutions.
The company first inaugurated the Biopolis research hub in Singapore in 2018.
It houses several labs, including a food and flavor analytics hub, another for beverage and dairy applications, a meat and savory lab, a bakery, and confectionery lab, and a customer innovation center.
Leo Liu, ADM president, Asia-Pacific, said the new facility will enhance ADM's ability to meet rapidly growing consumer demand in the Asia-Pacific and bring exciting new products and solutions to the market.
He added that with Asia being home to 60 percent of the world’s population, Singapore is a critical hub of innovation and growth around plant-based alternatives.”
Marie Wright, ADM's chief global flavourist and president for creation, design, and development, noted that the lab would not only help ADM get key insight and learnings to help drive exciting new solutions for Asia but also helps them better serve customers around the world looking to incorporate Asian flavors and preferences into plant-based food and beverage innovations.
