Bringing Innovation Closer to Home at the Northern Food Ingredients & Nutrition Expo

For the first time, Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients’ Food Team participated in the Northern Food Ingredients & Nutrition Expo, held in Chiang Mai on 23–24 April. The event welcomed over 400 attendees, including food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and academic experts from across Northern Thailand.

Instead of waiting for customers to come to us, we brought our innovations directly to them. Our team showcased six interactive product prototypes—from plant-based beverages to high-protein and functional snacks—giving visitors a real taste of how our ingredients perform in actual applications.

Prototype highlights included:

The Guardians Jelly Stick

Roast Chicken Flavoured Potato Wedge

Coffee Pea Milk

Baked High Protein Chips

Plant-Based Wonton Soup

Probiotic Instant Yogurt Shake

Two standout ingredients drew strong interest:

InSea2® – a seaweed-based extract that helps regulate blood sugar and reduce the glycemic impact of meals.

DOLCERRA 5671 – a cocoa powder replacer that replicates the taste, color, and texture of cocoa, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality.

It was a great opportunity to build new connections in Northern Thailand, share the latest trends and innovations, and show what our solutions can really do in action.

“Professionals in the food and nutraceutical industry gathered in this event which focused on networking, knowledge sharing and exploring new business opportunities. The unexpectedly high turnout carries important implications for both exhibitors and attendees in the food ingredients industry” said Joana Sim, Department Manager – Food, Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients (T) Ltd.

 A big thank you to our Sales Team for driving strong engagement and to our Lab Team for preparing the prototypes that helped spark so many great conversations. Your teamwork made this local debut a success!
