On the afternoon of June 21, China Lycium barbarum Research Institute held a roadshow of major scientific and technological achievements of Ningxia Lycium barbarum industry in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
Kwok-Fai So, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and President of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Institute of central nerve regeneration of Jinan University, introduced the research and application results of Lycium barbarum in Ningxia. His team has confirmed that Lbp has the functions of improving depressive symptoms, protecting retina, anti fatty liver and promoting hippocampal neurogenesis.
Kwok-Fai So introduced that after clinical trials, the research shows that after taking LbGp for 6 consecutive weeks, the cognitive impairment, block and helplessness of high-risk groups of depression can be greatly improved.
Ningxia is the origin of Lycium barbarum, which has been cultivated for more than 500 years. Ningxia Lycium barbarum is a national product protected by geographical indications. Ningxia Lycium barbarum is rich in nutrients and pharmacological active components, including iron, phosphorus, calcium and other substances. It is internationally recognized as a plant rich in lithium.
Over the years, Ningxia science and Technology Department has strengthened the scientific and technological support of Lycium barbarum industry and built a number of innovative platforms such as the national Lycium barbarum engineering technology research center.
Lycium barbarum germplasm resources, variety breeding, pollution-free pest control and standardized cultivation have been in the forefront of the country and achieved a number of major scientific and technological achievements. Through the introduction of high-tech enterprises, docking with scientific research institutes, building a scientific research and development platform and other measures, change the positioning that medlar can only soak in water and wine, encourage enterprises to make an issue in science and technology, and promote the quality, efficiency, transformation and upgrading of Ningxia medlar industry.
Ningxia Tianren Goji Biotechnology is an enterprise engaged in Lycium barbarum deep processing. In 2016, it invested 150 million to transform the technology of Shanghai Institute of organic chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, bought out the R & D patents of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide achievements, built the world's first Lycium barbarum glycopeptide production line, and formed a derivative production of Lycium barbarum seed oil cosmetics, Lycium barbarum enzyme Small molecule oral liquid series products. The annual consumption of raw materials of medlar dried fruit is 400 tons, the annual output of raw materials of medlar glycopeptide is 2 tons, and 80 million medlar glycopeptide tablets can create an output value of more than 500 million.
At present, Ningxia is engaged in the processing of fresh Lycium barbarum fruit, with a conversion rate of 25%, ranking first in the country. Lycium barbarum wine, Lycium barbarum mask, Chinese Lycium barbarum eye Soothing Spray... Ningxia Lycium barbarum and its derivatives have reached over 10 kinds of 60 species. Mass production of 12 special foods and 4 health care products; The production capacity of Lycium barbarum raw pulp is more than 10000 tons; Functional foods such as LbGp and Hugan tablets have entered the nutritional catering channel of the hospital.
Relevant scientific research academicians, experts and scholars were invited to promote the research and application achievements of Ningxia Lycium barbarum by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the scientific research achievements of Ningxia Lycium barbarum innovation center, the scientific research achievements of relevant research centers of Ningxia Academy of agricultural and Forestry Sciences, the scientific research achievements of major basic research of Lycium barbarum, as well as the fruit transformation platform and operation mode of Lycium barbarum.
The picture comes from agricultural science and technology news
After the roadshow, Ningxia Tianren Goji Biotechnology signed a contract with the team of academician Kwok-Fai So of Jinan University and AIER EYE HOSPITALto strengthen the development of high-value products in the medlar industry and accelerate the transformation of scientific research achievements.
