The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has introduced the "Protein Innovation Center (PIC)," jointly operated by Bühler and Givaudan, on its overseas business information dissemination site "Business News." Opened in Singapore in April 2021, the PIC is a food lab equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. It provides startups, universities, and food manufacturers with the expertise, networks, and technology necessary to create plant-based alternative proteins. Customers can conduct trials of both high-moisture and low-moisture structured protein products using Bühler's twin-screw extruder located within the facility. In the Business News, an overview of the PIC and how to utilize it is provided, including an interview with Dr. Venkatesh, our Chief Innovation Officer. For more details, please visit the official JETRO website below. 【Business News】 30 companies, including Japanese firms, utilize the Protein Innovation Center to support plant-based meat development https://www.jetro.go.jp/biznews/2022/04/af12aeca378b6eb1.html

The world-renowned flavor manufacturers Givaudan and Bühler jointly announced on April 26, 2021 (Singapore local time), the official opening of the APAC Protein Innovation Center within Givaudan's Singapore headquarters. The Protein Innovation Center is jointly operated by both companies and is connected to Bühler's R&D Innovation Center in Switzerland, as well as key regional hubs that enable plant-based product development on a global scale. By combining Bühler's extrusion processing technology with Givaudan's expertise in flavors, taste, ingredients, and product development, the center aims to collaborate with food processing companies, startups, and researchers from academic institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to develop and realize new plant-based foods that meet the taste, texture, and cooking methods demanded in Asia. The 400m2 facility includes a pilot-scale extruder, a state-of-the-art product development kitchen, storage facilities, and meeting rooms, as well as an area where visitors can observe live demonstrations.

Bühler is leading the development of sustainable alternative proteins, starting with soybeans, oilseeds, and legumes, as well as new raw materials such as by-products generated during food production, microalgae, and insects. The catalog presents solutions and equipment for industrial-scale processing and manufacturing of alternative proteins that can replace high-quality meat and fish.
