6 NEWS Jungbunzlauer plans to build lactic acid plant in Canada Jungbunzlauer has planned to expand its lactic acid fermentation with a new production plant in Port Colborne, Canada, to meet the demands in lactic acid and lactates. Lactic acid is an organic acid used in many food and non-food applications globally. It is a biocidal active substance used in disinfectants, and also used for making the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer that has the potential to replace traditional plastics. According to Jungbunzlauer, the growth in the markets requiring lactic acid has been “very dynamic and is even accelerating”, and the company foresees a further growth of the lactic acid demand throughout all applications. The plan for expansion is therefore aimed at securing the future supply, and to enable the market potential to unfold to the full extent. Jungbunzlauer’s activities in lactic acid started in 2012, with a first fermentation facility in Marckolsheim, France. To better capture the Canadian and the US markets, the new factory is considered for the Canadian production site in Port Colborne, Ontario. Today, the Port Colborne site runs a citric acid facility paired with a corn wet milling plant as source for fermentation of raw materials. Since its inauguration in 2001, the site was expanded and upgraded with new technologies. A lactic acid project is likely to improve the competencies of the site further, and would lay the foundation for future growth of both, output as well as workforce. Focus will be laid on using modern technology that ensures a minimal level of greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and product side streams. ■ Aleph Farms and Mitsubishi bring cultivated meat to Japan Aleph Farms and Mitsubishi Corporation’s Food Industry Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring cultivated meat to the Japanese table. The former will provide its BioFarm manufacturing platform for cultivation of whole-muscle steaks; while the latter will provide its expertise in biotechnology processes, branded food manufacturing, and local distribution channels in Japan. This cooperation supports the fight against climate, especially when the Japanese government has stipulated a goal of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions. In April last year, Aleph Farms committed to eliminating emissions associated with its meat production by 2025, and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030. As the demand for meat continues to rise with evolving lifestyles, the cooperation will also provide solutions to overcome the societal challenges to the local population surrounding the domestic meat supply. This includes implementing stable food channels of quality nutrition. Gary Brenner, vice-president of market development at Aleph Farms, elaborated: “This is part of a network of BioFarm to Fork strategic partnerships being developed by Aleph Farms in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe, following the successful 2019 Round-A strategic investment by Cargill and the Migros Group in Switzerland.” Both companies are members of the Cellular Agriculture Study Group, a consortium implementing policy proposals under the Japanese Centre for Rule-Making Strategy. The consortium brings together a range of experts on the definition and construction of cellular agricultural foods. It also adds clarification of conditions for Japanese products and technologies to have international competitiveness and establishes mechanisms for coexistence and division of roles with existing industries. ■ The collaboration to bring cultivated meat to Japan will support the country meet climate change and food security goals FOOD & BEVERAGE ASIA FEBRUARY / MARCH 2021
