At Saigon Fruits Company (SFC), we believe that great products start with great people.This is why today we want to introduce someone whose knowledge, integrity, and innovation have shaped the foundation of our fruit powder program.
Meet Mr. Tuan Anh — our partner, friend, and one of the most experienced chemical engineers in Vietnam’s food innovation industry.
Who Is Mr. Tuan Anh?
Behind every high-quality fruit powder, drying innovation, and technical breakthrough at SFC is a man who has spent decades quietly perfecting his craft.
With over 30 years of experience, Mr. Tuan Anh is not just an engineer — he is a determined innovator who has dedicated his life to understanding natural materials, optimizing drying techniques, and developing sustainable solutions for the food and beverage world.
A Chemical Engineer With 30 Years of Experience
Throughout his career, he has worked across multiple disciplines of food science, chemical engineering, and processing technology.
His expertise is not theoretical — it is earned through decades of hands-on work, factory development, and daily problem-solving.This is the type of experience that cannot be copied, automated, or found in textbooks. It comes from real-life trial, error, and mastery.
His deep technical knowledge is one of the key reasons why SFC’s fruit powder program focuses on quality, stability, clean-label formulations, and consistency — not shortcuts.
From Cascara Tea Pioneer to Biodegradable Innovation
Long before cascara became a global trend, Mr. Tuan Anh was the first in Vietnam to produce cascara (coffee cherry) tea and export it to Japan and Korea.This alone is an achievement — as both markets have extremely strict quality and safety standards.
But he didn’t stop there.
In recent years, he developed a new breakthrough:biodegradable eatery items made from cascara fiber — material that feels like premium plastic, but naturally decomposes within one year in humid conditions.
This innovation aligns perfectly with what we believe at SFC:better, cleaner, more responsible solutions that don’t compromise on quality.
The Factory Behind Our Fruit Powders
Thanks to his leadership, our fruit powder partner facility now integrates multiple drying technologies under one roof — a rare capability in Vietnam.
This includes:
Air Drying
Suitable for products that require deeper flavor retention, cost efficiency, and high stability.
Spray Drying
Ideal for turning juices and liquid extracts into fine, evenly soluble powders. This is essential for beverage manufacturers, nutrition companies, and large-scale F&B producers.
Freeze Drying
The gold standard for preserving nutrition, color, natural aroma, and bioactive compounds. Freeze-dried products retain up to 98% of nutrients.
This combination means we can select the best drying method for each fruit, instead of forcing one technology to fit all products.It also means we can guarantee consistency, batch stability, and clean-label formulations — something the industry often struggles with.
Building the Future of Clean, Healthy Fruit Powders in Vietnam Together
When we started exploring fruit powders, our goal wasn’t just to produce another commodity.We wanted to create real, honest ingredients that help manufacturers make better products — without additives, artificial fillers, or low-quality inputs.
With Mr. Tuan Anh’s expertise and our shared vision, we are now developing a range of powders that aim to:
provide more nutrient-dense solutions
use clean, transparent formulations
offer stable and predictable performance in real applications
bring more value to farmers
strengthen Vietnam’s position in higher-value food ingredients
This partnership is not built on convenience — but on shared belief in doing things properly.
Why This Partnership Matters for SFC and Our Customers
For our partners, food manufacturers, and global buyers, the value is very clear:
✔ Higher and more consistent quality
Backed by real engineering expertise and controlled drying processes.
✔ Technical transparency
From raw material sourcing to moisture levels, particle size, and solubility performance.
✔ Innovation potential
Biodegradable cascara materials, advanced drying methods, and continuous product development.
✔ Better stability and cleaner labels
No unnecessary fillers, no shortcuts — just real fruit.
✔ Long-term reliability
This isn’t a short-term cooperation.It is a strong, technical foundation for SFC’s long-term fruit ingredient strategy.
A Shared Mission Moving Forward
Great products start with great people — and we are proud to work alongside someone who brings both science and heart into everything he does.
Together, we’re building something meaningful:a new standard for fruit powders from Vietnam.
