Ennovation: Enzymes Innovation for Meat Processing

Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Thailand's Performance Chemical department brought a solution-focused, exclusive seminar to customers in Bangkok on 26 August 2025, co-hosted with our key suppliers IFF (biosciences and enzymeinnovation) and GEA (process engineering and scale-up), to showcase how enzyme innovation can unlock new value in meat processing. Held at Grande Centre Point Lumphini, the event welcomed around 60 participants, including leading Thai food and feed manufacturers.

The program combined insight and application, demonstrating how enzymes can transform co-products from food processing into high-value ingredients such as collagen peptides and protein extracts, while also improving yield and process efficiency.

The seminar opened with remarks from Songsin Sungkhawaetai, Country Manager of Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Thailand, alongside Christina Pang, Sales Director, Southeast Asia for IFF, and Ketpat Charoenratpanya, Head of Sales and Service, LPT for GEA.

In his opening speech, Songsin emphasized: "By combining enzyme innovation with advanced food engineering, we aim to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals, add value to co-products, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen competitiveness in both local and international markets."

IFF led the first session with presentations by Neha Sarda and Kantamet Jirakittanakul, who showcased four key applications — Meat & Bone Extract, Yeast Extract, Collagen Peptides, and Pet Food Palatants — supported by trial data, prototypes, and process comparisons.

Khun Ketpat Charoenratpanya (Head of Sales and Services - LTP) from GEA then shared his expertise on engineering integration and showed how to scale these applications effectively in production.

Energy in the room stayed high from start to finish. Customers engaged actively in Q&A, challenging speakers on process choices, cost-in-use, and real-world implementation. The seminar concluded with a summary from our technical sales experts and a lucky draw, which added a fun note to a very technical day and encouraged even more participation.

Together with JJ Ingredients, bridging suppliers and customers through our technical expertise, applications lab, and strong business operations, the seminar delivered practical pathways for manufacturers to improve performance, enhance efficiency, and move towards more sustainable meat processing.
