Here’s a sneak peak at one of our latest stories. Researchers from the National University of Singapore have turned tofu wheyinto an alcoholic beverage in what is believed to be a world first.Named Sachi, the beverage is made from tofu whey – a liquid that isgenerated from the production of tofu and is often discarded.The fermentation technique also enriches the drink with isoflavones, whichare antioxidants that have many health benefits, the research team said.The creation of Sachi was initiated a year ago by Associate Professor LiuShao Quan and his PhD student Chua Jian Yong.“Very little research has been done to transform tofu whey into edible foodand beverage products,” said Chua Jian Yong. “I had previously worked onalcohol fermentation during my undergraduate studies in NUS, so I decided totake up the challenge of producing an alcoholic beverage using the whey. Thedrink turned out to be tasty, which is a pleasant surprise.”DiaryFood & DrinkJanuary 18th, Food Manufacturing 2030Conference, UK23rd-24th, BevExpo2018, UK28th-31st, ProSweets, Germany February1st, Priorities for the UK Food andFarming Industry, Central London5th-7th, The Packaging Conference,Florida 7th-9th, Fruit Logistica 2018,Germany12th-13th, Food Processing Expo,California 14th-15th, Non-Alcoholic BeverageStrategy Congress 2018, Spain18th-22nd, Gulfood 2018, Dubai27th-28th, IntraLogisteX, UK27th, Beviale Moscow 2018, Russia28th, Packaging Innovations,Birmingham NECPick up a copy of Food & DrinkInternational at this event54_Layout 1 18/12/2017 09:41 Page 1 !"#"## $ %&'( )(*+& *&'( )(*+&mixingis ourbusinessAdvancedEngineering Middleton LtdUnit 5D Transpennine Trading Estate,Gorrells Way, Rochdale, Lancashire OL11 2PXtel: 01706 759003 fax: 01706 759004email: info@aemixers.comweb: www.aemixers.comThe Advanced EngineeringAdPro Mixis specificallydesigned for flexibleprocessing of coldmanufactured food productsThe variable speed anchor/stirrer and chopping head which can be inter-changed with a high shear rotor/stator head gives built in flexibility toblend, chop, mill, disperse and emulsify.
