SMS Lays out Solutions for Sustainable Protein & Fiber Supplies for Better Health and Food Securities

On February 9th, 2023, in the symposium - ‘Plant Protein & Fibers for Future Food Sustainable Ingredients’, Mr. Danai-Thanit Bisalputra (The Executive director of Poon Phol Group) and Dr. Werawat Lertwanawatana (The CEO of SMS Group) welcomed honored guests; Mr. Wisit Limluecha (The President of Thai Food Processors’ Association), Mr. Charoen Keawsooksai (The President of Federation of Thai Industries), and many participants from 20 food manufacturers attending. The objectives were set to provide solutions for sustainable protein & fiber supplies and expand Thailand’s food industry network. 

At the event, many trendy topics were discussed by SMS food specialist teams, and food displays and a live cooking show were demonstrated to showcase the applications of plant protein and starch solutions. The simple yet effective innovation of PHYTO 50 has been revealed for Hi-Protein and Balanced Diet solutions. Phyto 50 may be applied for most food applications by simply replacing and fortifying 50% of animal protein contents in various food products with more than 50% of plant proteins.

The resulting Phyto 50 foods have their taste and texture inseparable from their original recipes. The advantages of Phyto 50 foods are the boost in protein content and lower costs than ordinary food products. A recent study has shown faster muscle growth through the double impact of simultaneous intake of plant and animal proteins in mice (Guan Yu Lim, Foodnavigator, 2019). There is an increase in protein absorption efficiency and muscle synthesis in the body.
SMS Protein Excellence Center is available for consultation on your precise meat product designs per protein and price point.

The recent problem of global dietary fiber deficiency was also addressed. World Health Organization recommends a daily intake of 25g of fiber. The average intake by Thailand's population is below the halfway mark at only 11g/day per person. The deficit can negatively impact intestinal health, cholesterol, and blood sugar level.

SMS has innovated solutions for both insoluble dietary fiber PHYBOPLUS® 1 & PHYBOPLUS® 2 and soluble dietary fiber PHYBOPLUS® S85. The applications of PHYBOPLUS series would turn your ordinary food products into functional foods and beverages to satisfy your customer's requirement on boosting health benefits through daily food consumption.

SMS would like to thank all participants for joining and sharing the food innovation. We look forwards to any opportunities to elevate Thailand’s Future Food industry toward health trends and sustainability.
