The lab will develop nutritious products to meet growing food and beverage demand in the Asia-Pacific region. It features a combination of experts in proteins and texturing ingredients, coupled with flavor specialists.

This lab gives ADM the ability to test flavors, textures, fats and binding characteristics in-house and accelerate product development for customers.

Additionally, it can also provide medium-scale sampling through a variety of forming and freezing capabilities to support market evaluation of new products and solutions.

Leo Liu, ADM president, Asia-Pacific, said, “ADM is a pioneer in plant-based nutrition innovation, and this new facility will enhance our ability to meet rapidly growing consumer demand in the Asia-Pacific region and bring exciting new products and solutions to the market. Protein continues to be a focus for consumers who are experimenting with plant-based options to meet their health and nutrition, sustainability and convenience preferences, and 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. This lab will help ADM deliver advanced customer solutions in this area while also creating jobs and offering development opportunities for young talent in the Asia-Pacific region.”
