Innovations in Starch & derivatives, side stream products and emerging non-food applications

Can cassava fill the global carbohydrate gap and will Indonesia rise to become a big major producer ?

 

Opportunities for Pea starch and derivatives

 

Starch is the most common form of carbohydrate in the human diet and finds endless applications in foodstuff, cosmetics, paper and, more recently, as bio - based raw materials for the chemical industry.

 

Is the government supporting the industry as much as in Thailand ?

 

Starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, cereals, rice and pasta make up about one third of the food we eat. As world population increases, the deficit in carbohydrate commodities (corn, rice, wheat, potato)becomes larger, creating opportunities for cassava.

 

Can cassava fill this gap and will Indonesia's cassava industry rise up and become a major producer?

 

It is reported that "Indonesia imported more than three million tons of cassava in 2012, and the trend seemed to be on the rise"

 

The Ministry of Agriculture is advising against importing cassava and identified areas suitable for the development of starch-based raw and auxiliary materials across the country.

 

What is the present status on the development of cassava at home ? How can Indonesia improve the quality of their cassava?

 

Thailand is the world's biggest exporter of starch and the world's largest producer of native tapioca starch. How can the other countries with cassava industries learn from them ?

 

Over in the EU, significant investments are made to produce biobased products from starch raw materials. Starch is a well-suited raw material for the sustainable use of agricultural products in the bio-based industry.

 

Generally the EU starch industry is made from 3 different raw materials: maize, wheat and starch potatoes. To meet the demand, the EU starch companies need to make positive and significant investments to increase production capacity .Again, how can cassava starch contribute to this gap ? Which countries are supplying cassava starch to Europe ?

 

Attend CMT's 3rd Starch World conference which gathers over 200 delegates from all over the world every year to discuss about issues surrounding the starch industry and the role it plays in an increasing bioeconomy.

 
Key Highlights

1. World carbohydrate outlook and what is means for cassava
Follow Simon Bentley from LMC as he analyses the global carbohydrate markets, grain prices and how the shortage in carbo is creating an interest in cassava

2. Can Indonesia's cassava industry rise up to the challenge ?
Join PT Budi Starch & Sweeteners, one of the world's largest tapioca starch producer engaged in the production of tapioca starch, citric acid, sulphuric acid, modified tapioca starch, MSG , sweeteners and the Cassava home industry as they unravel Indonesia's cassava future, government plans to support this industry


Also hear firsthand from PT Tirta Marta who has commercialized biodegradable plastics from Cassava starch.

3. High value added products from cassava and update on Cassava bioethanol in Vietnam

4. Cassava Starch Processing Improvement Efforts at DuPont IB
Recent industry leading advances in enzymatic cassava starch processing with lower energy consumption

5. Developing Thermoplastic Starch Materials for High-Value Sustainable Applications
Dr James Wang, Research team leader shares development in Kimberly Clarke on the several technologies that are developing to convert starch into thermoplastic starch (TPS) for use in industrial and consumer applications.

6. Last year, the value of the snack food market in Indonesia reportedly reached €800 million, with projected growth of 6% to 2017. Dominated by chips/crisps holding 18% market share, this growth is being driven by a large consumer segment that is actively seeking out new tastes and flavours.
Hear from Emsland as Henk shares new potato based clean label innovations for fast growing Asian snack and snack pellet markets.

7. Pea starch and derivatives (fibers) including developments in Roquette Starch activities.
One of the biggest opportunities for Roquette is demand in pea-based ingredients. Hear from Dr Bernard Pora on recent starch activities by Roquette and how pea can tap into the growing demand for gluten-free, clean label, sustainable ingredients. Pea is power !!

8. Developments in Resistant starch
