Tetra Pak Invites Consumers to Create Cooking Experiences with Packaged Coconut Milk During Ramadan to Eid

Published on 6 May 2021

Tetra Pak Indonesia held a virtual Ramadhan gathering with a theme of "Exciting Surprise Behind Packaged Coconut Milk." This event aims to invite consumers to create a pleasant cooking experience with packaged coconut milk products during the Ramadan and Eid celebrations. The virtual meeting highlighted the role of food packaging and processing to maintain food safety and hygiene, which plays an important role for consumers when purchasing food products and cooking ingredients.

In the virtual gathering, Tetra Pak also launched a survey of "The Future Is Now Coconut Milk" with KANTAR which was conducted in September 2020 to analyze household behavior towards certain food products and cooking ingredients, especially packaged coconut milk. The survey found that as a result of the pandemic, cooking has become increasingly relevant. Among the developing categories, coconut milk has the potential to grow most rapidly at specific times. Interestingly, according to a new study from “Think with Google,” Millennial Moms view cooking, not as homework, but more as a moment to create experiences. This is an opportunity for packaged coconut milk products to be more relevant to hygienic and practical factors, especially during the moments of Ramadan and Eid.

Throughout the session, Tetra Pak representatives explained how Ultra High Temperature (UHT) technology and six layers of aseptic packaging ensure that coconut milk products are hygienic, easy to use, and nutritious. UHT technology makes packaged coconut milk products heated at a temperature of 144? C for 4 seconds to achieve commercial sterility conditions that kill harmful bacteria and microbes such as Clostridium botulinum, as well as microorganisms. The six-layer aseptic packaging ensures long shelf life without losing the natural flavor, nutrition and texture of the coconut milk. Speaking at the event, Panji Cakrasantana, Marketing Manager of Tetra Pak Indonesia, explained, “We want to encourage parents today and today to create unique cooking experiences with packaged coconut milk for their families, sharing moments of joy while preparing various dishes. Ramadan and Eid.

Clariant Collaborates with Pertamina in the Field of Advanced Biofuel Assessment

Published on 6 May 2021

Clariant, a focused, sustainable and innovative specialty chemicals company, has been working with Pertamina, Indonesia's state-owned oil and gas company since 2018 to evaluate and test the feasibility of Clariant's sunliquid technology to process regional feedstocks available in Indonesia into cutting edge biofuel, cellulosic ethanol. Indonesia has enormous untapped biomass potential, from empty fruit bunches to palm oil leaves that can be converted into cellulosic ethanol. Their utilization is currently neglected, and until recently, the two raw materials were often burned, which resulted in air pollution. A dramatic increase in ethanol demand is expected in Indonesia, this is mainly driven by the national mandate of E10 ethanol blends.

Advanced fuel technology solutions, such as the Clariant's sunliquid® process, are essential to match feedstock potential to the country's growing demand for ethanol. Pertamina and Clariant have been investigating how to bridge this gap since 2018. The initial collaboration focused on analyzing techno-economic performance and testing empty fruit bunches and oil palm leaves. The final results of the evaluation show that the sunliquid® technology has succeeded in converting the two raw materials into cellulosic ethanol while achieving good conversion results

Then, in a conceptual engineering study carried out recently, the balance of processes, system specifications, and process economics is calculated in detail. This is the basis for Pertamina's consideration to continue investing in commercial biofuel production facilities on a commercial scale. "We are very pleased that Pertamina, a well-known energy company in Indonesia, has chosen our sunliquid® process for this technology and raw material assessment, as well as for the process design study for a commercial scale factory based on regional raw materials," said Christian Librera, Vice President and Head of Business Line Biofuels and Derivatives, Clariant.
