Research investment

The research and development center was founded in 1993. It has about 50 technicians and carries out the work of new products development, practical technology research, quality control and sales service. The R&D center has about 50 advanced experiment and testing equipments, such as Brabender farinograph apparatus, tensilometer and high efficient liquid chromatogram. The investment in research has added up to over 28 million. We have developed Calcium stearoyl—2—lactylate, sodium steartoyl-2- lactylate, hydrate glycerol mono stearyl, biologic enzyme compounding emulsifier and so on. And in year 1997 we introduced emulsifier and enzyme to food industry, which is the first practice in China. It popularized the domestic advanced wheat and impelled the development of special flour. We also built a practical research system on the basis of products’ research, and have analyzed domestic wheat, flour and their using mechanism. There are about a thousand kinds of wheat in China, because of this big variety, we have carried out 10 years’ research and selected about a thousands of samples. After doing a lot of research on these samples, we built the first and the only database, which demonstrates the corresponding relationships among wheat, flour and flour-made food. And it also proofs there is a potential corresponding relation between the wheat type and local flour-made staple food. This database provided the basis for the research on Chinese traditional flour-made food such as mantou, noodles and dumplings.

Based on the database, we started with the analyzing of the ingredients of flour and came up with the five ingredients that influence the characteristics---protein, starch, active subsistence, grease and hemicelluloses. After this result, we brought forward that it is the starch instead of protein that influences mantou, noodles and other Chinese traditional flour-made staple food’s characteristics. But in the western countries, it is protein that influences the baking food. After this clarifying, we figured out the researching direction.In year 2004, Henan provincial government granted our company as the first and also the only flour-made food engineering center. The engineering center makes good use of the rich wheat resource, taking mantou as the starting point, has began to do research and propagandism on staple food mantou’s industrialization.
