The 13th Asia Starch Value Chain Conference, scheduled to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is a premier event focusing on the growing starch industry across Asia.  Bringing together key stakeholders, including starch producers, traders, manufacturers, and technology providers, to discuss the latest trends, innovations, and challenges within the starch value chain.
  

Diving into topics on optimizing the starch value chain, the overarching theme is on Sustainability.
 

This event will also have discussions on market dynamics,  sustainable agriculture, valorising waste/side streams, sugar reduction, fibre enrichment solutions, starch modification,  clean label and many more
 

A strategic choice for hosting the Asia Starch Value Chain conference,  Vietnam's economy has been one of the fastest-growing in the region, making it an ideal location for discussions on industrial growth and market expansion in the starch sector.
 

As one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of cassava, a key source of starch. The country’s cassava industry has been a significant contributor to its agricultural exports, and innovations in cassava processing and value addition are critical topics for the conference.
 

CMT’s Asia starch series is recognised as an important event for the industry and generally targeted at companies involved in supplying food Ingredients  companies that uses starch & starch derivatives for food, textiles, paper , packaging, pharmaceutical industries, companies supporting bioprocess solutions , fermentation, yeast and enzyme suppliers, Milling industry , Sugar & Sweetener industry , Traders & commodities brokers, Bioethanol producers, , Equipment & Technology suppliers, biogas industries.
 

A must attend event in the industry, it has been brought around the region to Bangkok, Jakarta, Yangon, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh, Siem Reap, Vientiane.

Separately Bookable Workshop 26 February 2025, 13:30 - 17:00 hrs.    Latest insights about starch structure, phase transitions, modification and functionality    Conducted by: Assoc Prof Mario Martinez Dept of Food Science Aarhus University Adjunct Assoc Prof Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research (Purdue Universitry USA) Mario Martinez research program is on translational biopolymer science, approaching the structure and function of food biopolymers, their binding potential to plant secondary metabolites, the elucidation of their complex structural biochemistry, and their food structuring behaviour. Mario's team also works on understanding the fundamental aspects related to the structuring technologies of plant-based foods (e.g., using extrusion processing) as well as the establishment of green derivatization and compatibilization routes of polysaccharides into high-performing packaging materials. Mario is adjunct Associate Professor at the Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research (Purdue University, IN, USA). All in all, Mario´s team relies on coherent and focused food system approaches to find common ground for health and environmental sustainability.
