Outlook on Asia's food and beverage ingredients market


Hello! I hope your new year is starting out well. We've been working on the first issue of FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal for the year, and it is still in the making. Just like cheese and wine....

To give you a sneak peak, the February issue has a special Outlook section on food ingredients and additives, where we interview leading companies expanding their markets in South East Asia. To date, Arjuna, Chr. Hansen, Epi Ingredients, Ingredion, and Tate & Lyle are sharing their plans and outlook for 2018 and beyond.

Last year we talked to executives from PT Doehler, Epi Ingredients, GNT, Ingredion, and AAK on their outlook (see links below). Looking back to the trends in past couple of years, it's no surprise that certain trends are here to stay - for good. But we still look forward to innovations that will help cut production time, and of course, cost.  


  • AAK bolsters lead in value-adding oil and fat solutions
  • Clean label goes mainstream in 2017
  • Epi Ingredients: Expansion in Asia
  • Ready for the growing fruit juice market
  • Natural color expert


  • I'm also excited to interview food technologist from the Philippines, Dr Elaine Borazon who is a professor at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, and consultant to various food manufacturing companies.  Dr Borazon is also the CEO of Business Bests InnovaCon Inc. 

    Expect to see the entire magazine by the first week of February.
