THE  HAMBURG lipid companies Berg + Schmidt and Sternchemie are investing in a deoiling plant for the production of pure soybean lecithin in Singapore, with the  first  phase  of construction aiming for capacity of 4,000 tonnes p.a.

The plant, which complies with ISO, GMP and HACCP requirements, will start production in Q2 2013. Generous storage tank capacities and separate production lines will make it possible to manufacture both GMO lecithins and IP/non-GMO lecithins in powder and granulated form.

The lecithin deoiling plant is the first in South East Asia.
