SINGAPORE - Sophie's Bionutrients, a Singapore-based start-up, has been working on plant-based protein flours that can be used to make milk alternatives or energy beverages.
Its co-founder and chief executive Eugene Wang, 51, shared that the market for plant-based liquids is more accessible than the one for meat alternatives, given that plant-based milk does not require the same extensive research and development that meat-like products do.
