David Cheng, Tetra Pak

David Cheng is based in Singapore, as a Development Manager for Process Development Centre (PDC) for Tetra Pak Asia.  He is responsible for the development of new concepts for the Soya Knowledge Centre and plays an active role in supporting the Tetra Pak cluster companies in driving new trends, concepts and successful launch of products.

He holds an Honors degree in Food Science and Technology from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in Australia.  His experiences include that of a Market Development Specialist for PURAC, taking charge of the Nutritional Food and Beverage segment in Asia Pacific.

Tetra Pak set up the PDC in Singapore, which is positioned to provide companies with an avenue for pursuing novel ideas with added advantage of a global knowledge base and technical know-how.  One good example of our strength is in soy development, in extracting maximum value and minimizing waste.  Our facility house a soy extraction unit “Tetra Alwin Soy 10” that handles both wet and dry beans for making soy base/beverages with a protein level of up to 4% and different level of “beaniness” flavor.
