A Formula for Innovation

Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients proudly announces the inauguration of its state-of-the-art Regional Performance Chemicals Application Centre in Bangkok, Thailand. The facility is dedicated to advancing enzyme applications for diverse sectors including food processing, sweetener production, ethanol refining, and more.

The centre specialises in tailoring processes to meet the evolving demands of the regional market. Key applications include enhancing flavours in fish sauce, optimising fish protein extraction, converting chicken feathers and other by-products into valuable protein extracts, and supporting collagen production for the health and beauty industry.

Additionally, the lab innovates in plant-based proteins for vegan and vegetarian foods, and tests nutritious enzymes to enhance pet food palatability.

For starch hydrolysis, the lab focuses on developing functional and specialty sweeteners for the food and beverage industry, while enhancing efficiency and productivity in ethanol production. Located in central Bangkok, the centre’s advanced enzyme capabilities facilitate rapid prototyping and agile adaptation to customer needs.

Partnering with industry leaders like IFF, the lab enhances enzyme efficiency, enabling faster and more flexible product development. This collaboration strengthens client partnerships through customized services tailored to specific market requirements.

Fajar Prasetyo, former Performance Chemicals Regional Portfolio Manager and current Country Manager for Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Philippines, expressed enthusiasm: “This breakthrough accelerates enzyme business development in the region, perfectly aligning with our strategic objectives. The Performance Chemicals team is poised to benefit significantly from this new tech hub.”

The Regional Performance Chemicals Application Centre underscores Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients’ commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions, reinforcing its position as a leader in enzyme applications in and beyond South East Asia.

Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients currently has five product development labs in Bangkok, Thailand, providing customers and technology partners with a launchpad to develop next-generation products for the South East Asian and Chinese markets.
