GROWING YOUR FOOD BUSINESS WITH PLANT-BASED PROTEINS Puay Hua Loh is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is currently Senior Manager, Business Development, Food and Beverage Ingredients Asia Pacific, DKSH Performance Materials.

T

selecting plant-based protein profiles:

he plant-based food sector is a fast-growing industry around the world. You may have seen the different varieties of plantbased alternative food products in supermarkets. The most popular are plant-based meat, seafood, and dairy, covering a wide range of downstream market products.

Foodnavigator-usa.com, a leading online news source for the food and beverage industry, published a report stating that, according to US retail data from the Good Food Institute and the Plant Based Foods Association, the sales of plantbased meat alternatives surged by 45 percent in 2020 pushing the category past the billion-dollar mark.

However, the industry has had its share of ups and downs. The same report declared that according to Deloitte, the positive perception of plant-based meat alternatives was slightly declining. In 2022 only 46 percent of consumers surveyed said they were willing to pay a premium for plant-based meat, down nine percent from 2021.

The Challenge to Promote Plant-based Alternatives While plant-based drinks are doing exceedingly well all over the world, plant-based meat saw a considerable slowdown in 2022. First-time consumers of plant-based foods may have doubts and concerns about the ingredients used in such products.

Three important measures for a successful plant-based product are its texture, taste, and appearance.

Believe it or not, these aspects are considered by consumers before they even look at the nutritional value of the product. Price positioning then becomes fundamental for consistent subsequent consumption.

Often, it is a challenge to create plant-based food products to match the expected characteristics of meat and dairy-based food products.

Smooth mouthfeel, great taste, and high nutritional value are some of

• • • • • • • •

the benefits of plant-based foods expected by consumers. Consumers also prefer specific profiles such as juiciness and firmness for plantbased meats and seafood, as well as creaminess for plant-based milk.

The Future of Plant-based Alternatives The plant-based alternative industry has tremendous potential for growth, despite various challenges in the current market. According to the same report from foodnavigator-usa. com, Deloitte suggests that the most obvious route forward for the plantbased meat category is to bring down costs and reformulate products to offer additional health benefits while maintaining taste.

Future Market Insights, the leading provider of market research reports, suggests that the growing trend of veganism and flexitarians coupled with the rising consumption of dairy and meat substitutes are key factors driving the global plant-based food market. The report predicts that the plant-based food market size could expand by threefold, witnessing an increase from USD 11.3 billion in 2023 to USD 35.9 billion by 2033.

Overall, plant-based food sales are poised to accelerate at a CARG of 12.2 percent between 2023 and 2033.

Let us look at the key ingredients that could contribute to the success of plant-based foods.

Plant-based products should have

excellent sources of proteins and nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nowadays, there are many sources of plant-based proteins available to consumers, such as legumes (chickpeas, fava beans), nuts and seeds (soybeans, almonds), vegetables (peas, mushrooms), grains (oats, amaranth), and even some fruits (dried goji berries, coconut).

However, plant-based proteins generally have­­­ different profiles of amino acids when compared to animal-based proteins. It is therefore important for food producers to understand the plantbased protein profile and consider the required fortification and other complementary ingredients.

How to Choose a Suitable Plant-based Protein for Your Application The following is an essential checklist to consider when

Protein concentration PDCAAS Allergy risk Organoleptic profile Functionality Commercial availability Cost of protein/kg Global crop volume

In addition to nutritional value, proteins play an essential role in the physicochemical and sensory properties of food products that contribute to the product’s overall technological functionality. Due to differences in molecular structure between the various sources of plant-based proteins, technological functionality can also differ. It is important to understand how each of these sources can be combined to create the intended application.

At DKSH, we provide a wide range of plant-based proteins from various approved sources and provide technical support to companies using proteins in their plant-based food products. Contact us to find out more.

Initially, it was started to fulfil the need for food for growing populations, and now it is a form of globalisation, cultural exchange, and a multibillion industry. The Asian food industry has its impact on the Western world, the flavours, blending of Chinese and Indian flavours in Indo-Chinese cuisine or the incorporation of Japanese ingredients and techniques in Western cooking.

Today, the food industry in Asia continues to evolve, adapting to changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and sustainability concerns. Traditional culinary practices coexist with modern innovations, creating a vibrant and diverse food landscape across the continent.

Technological Advancements in Processing and Packaging:

In the era of industrialisation and modernisation food industry has also boomed. The last three industrialisations focused on conventional techniques for processing, including drying, fermentation, freezing, canning, baking, and frying, along with automation, data analysis, high-speed filling machines, automated packaging systems, and some of the advanced food preservation techniques, supply chain management techniques are introduced and developed to the extent. Now the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, is going on, which in terms of the food industry includes precision fermentation, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Internet of Things.

The main aim of the Asian food sector is sustainability along with efficient production and to attain market supremacy.

According to Data Bridge Market Research analysis, from 2022 to 2029, the market is predicted to increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 7.2%, from 2021’s US$2,377.40 million to 2029’s US$ 4,141.99 million. One of the major sectors in India, food processing accounted for 32% of the nation’s total food market and was rated fifth in terms of production, consumption, export, and anticipated growth.

The Food Packaging:

Demand for Food Packaging Industries in Asian Countries:

Food packaging is essential for keeping food items fresh and ensuring they arrive at their destination without losing their original flavour or quality. In addition, it preserves the contents from contaminants and moisture, prevents spills and tampering, and helps food goods maintain their form and quality. The food packaging market in Asia-Pacific

The food packaging market is also driven by consumers’ increasing desire for processed foods due to the growing working population, increased disposable incomes, busy lifestyles, and population dynamics shifting from rural to urban regions. Additionally, in a Continued on page n 39

nation like India, where the need for online meal ordering is rising, packed food boxes are becoming increasingly popular in the food packaging industry. In February 2022, one of the meal delivery services, Zomato, said that during the past five years, the monthly active food delivery restaurants and transactional clients had increased by an average of six and 13 times.

Flexible packaging of food items is now possible through the new technologies that have emerged, including active packaging, intelligent packaging, and engineering science. In addition, manufacturers have taken on biodegradable packaging that can be recycled, rejuvenated, and reused to create environmentally friendly packaging.

Nextgeneration packaging trends would segment into susceptors, RFID tags, NFC tags, sensors & output devices, coding & markings, and others.

India’s pharmaceutical and food packaging industries are the main drivers of flexible packaging industry growth. Regular rigid packaging consumers have been switching to flexible packaging in recent years. Industry sources claim that flexible packaging’s attractive appearance, affordability, and durability are the leading causes.

Consumer demand for easy packaging and reasonably sized laminated packages of packaged goods is one of the main factors behind the growth of flexible packaging in India.

According to the Flexible Packaging Industries Association, flexible packaging accounts for more than 60% of the market and is mainly used for food. The flexible packaging business is multiplying due to its ability to integrate innovative solutions for the numerous packaging problems it observed.

Towards sustainability...

The Asian continent has the most populous nations, including India, China, and Indonesia, with rapid population growth and immense

natural resources. Efficiently utilising these both is challenging; the food sector directly connects these two entities. Therefore, the use of technologies that leads to sustainability needs to be adopted, such as waste reduction and management, responsible sourcing and fair trade, promoting plantbased and alternative proteins which cut down animal husbandry practices, which in turn reduces greenhouse emission, and use of nonthermal technologies or green technologies, S u s t a i n a b l e packaging, and towards sustainable food production precision fermentation is the promising technique which uses microbes to produce food components like proteins, carbohydrates from the waste matter or any other resources like all these technologies need to be developed to attain utmost sustainability.

ACTIVE PACKAGING PLAYS DYNAMIC ROLE IN FOOD PRESERVATION Prof. Kajal Verma (The author is associate professor, Institute of Good Manufacturing Practices India [IGMPI], New Delhi)

O

ver the forecast period (2021–2026), the Asia-Pacific active and intelligent packaging market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2%. The recent Covid-19 outbreak left the active and intelligent packaging producers with a plethora of problems, most of which are only anticipated to last for a short while. The lockdown had several negative repercussions, such as supply chain interruptions, a lack of raw materials for manufacture, workforce shortages, pricing fluctuations that could drive up production costs and push them over budget, and shipping issues.

Shrewd bundling is a blend of materials, science, and innovation that upgrades the bundling usefulness by executing dynamic and keen bundling in traditional bundling. It assists with forestalling food decay, upgrade food item credits like fragrance, taste, and flavour, and furthermore helps in brand assurance, premium evaluating, and squander decrease.

Rising utilisation of brilliant bundling to build the timeframe of realistic usability and detectability of food items is supposed to observe the positive effect on by and large industry development in the estimate period. In addition, the developing web based business market and rising industrialisation combined areas of strength for with for unrivalled strategies and production network the board are probably going to set out worthwhile open doors for players working in this market.

Utilising legal additives in packaging films or packaging containers allows for the maintenance and extension of product shelf life. This is known as active and intelligent packaging.

Active packaging plays a dynamic role in food preservation by allowing packages to communicate with food and the environment. The active and intelligent packaging market in Asia-Pacific is divided into types (Active Packaging, Intelligent Packaging), End-

plastic materials are restricting issues in the RFID keen bundling business sector's development. The lack of integrators and complete item creators is another component.

A portion of the open doors in the RFID wise bundling market relate to propels in printing innovation, which can support the market.

User Verticals (Food, Beverage, Healthcare, Personal Care), and Countries.

Smart labels and tags, as well as time-temperature indicators, are gaining popularity. Many of these gadgets were once regarded as unnecessary or unaffordable, but technical breakthroughs that enable the production of printed electronics at low costs and the replacement of specialised electronic readers with smartphones may enable them to become widely used. The quick adoption of tracking-enabled or interactive packaging components will be pushed by recent laws in the food industries, which requires producers to make products safer and easier to recall.

Based on the area, the savvy bundling market is fragmented into North America, Europe, APAC, Latin America, and the Centre East and Africa. During the estimated time-frame, the Asia-Pacific market is supposed to develop at the most noteworthy CAGR. The evolving way of life, expanding interest in bundling arrangements with longer manageability, and developing interest in new and quality food are the elements driving the development of this local fragment.

The increase in the senior population, the number of chronic illnesses, and the need for over-thecounter medicines all contribute to the expansion of the food and healthcare sector. As food packaging regulations tighten, active packaging solutions are growing in popularity. Due to the

growing complexity of items that need to be stored or transported to remote areas while maintaining their integrity, the market for active packaging is anticipated to expand over the course of the anticipated period.

Because of industry maturity, demand growth for microwave susceptors, desiccants, and corrosion control packaging will be more moderate. However, healthy growth will continue to be observed as new goods are introduced to carry out these common functions more effectively.

Desiccants are now included in pharmaceutical bottles or caps to offer moisture management, and new environmentally friendly corrosion control scavengers have been developed, for example.

The utilisation of shrewd bundling in the production network the executives of food merchandise forestall robbery and falsifying while likewise working on the picture of food firms regarding marking and promoting. By utilising RFID savvy and smart bundling in the online business and store network, clients can follow items at each phase of their excursion, including their area. A buyer can get more data by means of RFID marks and labels than from a normal name.

Exorbitant costs, restricted accessibility, and an absence of customer information on adaptable

The growth of the RFID Intelligent Packaging market is being constrained by factors including high costs, a lack of availability, and a lack of consumer awareness of flexible plastic materials.

Another issue is the lack of full product designers and integrators.

The market for RFID intelligent packaging offers some prospects related to improvements in printing technology.

Manufacturers can accomplish this goal by managing plant assets with RFID technology. For many sites in a manufacturing plant, such as conveyors, cameras, boilers, tanks, pipes, and so forth, a combination of RFID tags and sensor technologies is an appropriate solution to monitor and maintain the quality and output of a manufacturing process. RFID tags are used in the manufacturing sector to track moveable assets, including.

The expansion in fake items, particularly in the drug and individual consideration businesses in arising economies, additionally constrained organisations to utilise advancements, like RFID during bundling. This large number of elements represent a significant ascent in the interest for dynamic and canny bundling. In any case, the underlying capital required because of greater expenses of establishment and execution and security issues in regards to with these frameworks are testing the development of the market Food Assumes a Critical Part in Market Development The developing meaning of current bundling in the food business has driven the brands to use Continued on page n 39

the capability of unmistakable dynamic bundling to stand apart from the remainder of their opposition and increment productivity.

A newness marker straightforwardly shows the nature of the item; it is normally as names on the compartment.

Ripeness is the main keen sensor label that changes tones to show the readiness of organic products. It performs over-response to the smell released by the natural product as it ages; at first, it is red and afterward graduates to orange and lastly yellow, contingent upon the decision of the needed degree of advancement while eating the natural product. A new pattern like the rising utilisation of remote advances in blend with shrewd bundling in the food and refreshment industry to furnish buyers with constant states of the transient products is probably going to drive the business interest. Furthermore, the rising utilisation of brilliant bundling in the food industry by virtue of its better solidness, adaptability, and lightweight properties is probably going to fuel the market development.

Then again, recyclability issues with squander produced by shrewd bundling are retraining the brilliant bundling market. Even though administration arrangements for treating bundling waste and reusing have been set up for very any time, viable practice shows that reusing different bundling waste is muddled. One of the primary issues in the plan and creation of savvy bundling is to propel research on reusing bundling waste, for example, tracking down additional appropriate materials for executing sensors and bio-degradable functionalities.

The food brands keep on advancing on the lookout, covering a large portion of the magnificence and individual consideration classifications. Food brands' cooperation in special missions, like limits and offers in fundamental scientists/ food stores, and online retailers, consistently, keep on animating buys.

The rising interest for cutting edge bundling arrangements from the food handling developing purchaser worry for food wastage decrease, and rising interest for shrewd and useful bundling are the main considerations driving the development of this market. Besides, the developing online business market and rising industrialisation combined areas of strength for with for prevalent strategies and production network the board are probably going to set out rewarding open doors for players working in this market.n

TECHNOLOGY- AN EFFECTIVE MEASURE FOR THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

T

he relevance of technology in the hospitality sector has increased significantly over the past year as things go through the global situation. Every company acknowledges the importance of creating unusual, secure, and comfortable offers for their clients if they want to stay in business.

The hotel industry can benefit from the productive application of technological methods because it increases client safety and helps draw in more business. Additionally, companies that use hospitality technology might recognise new chances for growth, and start offering a huge range of services, emerging as industry leaders.

Now let's examine how technology is being used in the hospitality sector to elevate the consumer experience and establish new benchmarks for market participants.

1. Food and Drinks The supply networks and manufacturers must have their procedures optimised. They need the equipment that will enable them to store and process their data. The technologies aid in estimating shelf life and measuring important quality characteristics. With the aid of data analytics, it is possible to predict how many variables, such as the weather, traffic, and route changes, affect the transportation of goods and help avoid their deterioration. This technology is popular in the hotel sector. Since everyone in the supply chain can access the same data, processes may be changed and risk factors can be decreased. It improves visibility, and brands may utilise it to create a system built on client trust and strengthen connections with them.

2. Robotics Manufacturing facilities of various sizes and sorts from around the world rely heavily on robots. They may work long shifts and boost output rates, which helps to prevent downtime.

Robots can handle many applications on a single platform, speeding up the

introduction of new items into the manufacturing process. Additionally, if the business has placed robots at each crucial location, they can automatically choose and package orders following the demands of each consumer. Furthermore, because the robots constantly keep an eye on every item leaving the production line, this hospitality technology lowers product waste. They can palletise the shelves following certain specifications, enhance subsequent operations, and make all procedures more adaptable and efficient.

3. Mobile Technology The majority of hospitality companies want to provide exceptional services not only during the trip but also before and after it. Applications developed in response to consumer needs may serve as 24/7 tour guides and experience enhancers for visitors. Numerous tasks are made easier by the apps, including hotel reservations and guiding travellers through airports.

4. Virtual Helpers Virtual travel assistants are those that operate from a distance for your business and do a variety of activities to enhance the customer experience.

They can accept your calls and return your messages, assist with flight booking, and help clients create trip budgets. Business travellers often need to manage multiple tasks at once and do not have time to keep track of all their plans, so virtual assistants come in helpful.

5. Technology Contactless Their ability to make reservations,

pay for services, and turn on the light in their rooms is altered by contactless technologies. It aims to reduce the number of social encounters while also enhancing guests' comfort and safety. These technological advancements also make it easier for employees to carry out their daily tasks because they shorten line-ups at the front desk, improve the personalised visitor experience, boost sales, and support management activities.

6. Machine Intelligence You may be familiar with "Connie," an AI robot that Hilton has adopted as a cutting-edge method of providing in-person customer support. The robot informs consumers about local attractions and personalises its responses based on their speech. The use of customer-provided AI-enabled phones is another new trend in hospitality information technology.

They are also known as travel phones and feature promotional deals, builtin hotel apps powered by AI, and easy access to hotel service assistants.

7. Chatbots If you have implemented a chatbot, you prevent guests from wasting time discovering the website and trying to

reach out to customer care. Instead, users will pick a pre-written question from the list and send it using the messaging app that is most convenient for them to receive a prompt response. Besides, chatbots can offer coupons, send reminders, and autorespond to Facebook comments.

The importance of technology in the hospitality industry is that it gives customers the feeling of being valued and appreciated, giving them a more personal experience. The chatbots can inquire about guests' needs for assistance or promote hotel events.

Also, they help you to know the customers’ preferences and attend to more visitor inquiries and questions at once.

Technology has become an essential tool for the hospitality industry, providing effective measures to enhance the guest experience, improve operations, and drive revenue growth. From mobile check-in and keyless room entry to personalised recommendations and online booking platforms, technology has revolutionised the way hotels and restaurants interact with customers. Through the use of data analytics, hotels can gain insights into guest behaviour, preferences, and feedback, allowing them to tailor their services and offerings to meet their needs. Additionally, technology can automate routine tasks, freeing up staff to focus on delivering exceptional customer service.

Overall, technology is a powerful enabler of success for the hospitality industry, helping businesses to stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly changing market.n
