The Central Plains Food Lab was established in September 2022. It is led by Luohe City. The lead unit is Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou Light Technology University, and China Agricultural University.The laboratory focuses on the major scientific and technological needs in the food industry’s transformation and upgrading, and conducts scientific research and results transformation around the six major directions including new resource mining and functional research, precision nutrition research and health food creation, and lead the province and even the country’s food industry transformation and upgrading, Create high -end talents in domestic industries to gather highlands and food technology innovation highlands.
How many core technologies are hidden in a bag of yogurt with patented bacteria?What kind of innovation breakthrough has a soft potato flour experienced?How can a piece of sweet and delicious bread achieve the perfect unity of taste and health?
On April 28, the reporter walked into the Central Plains Food Lab and explored how to open up the “last mile” of corporate workshops in the innovative system of “top sky”, overcome a number of industrial “card neck” technology, and use scientific and technological innovation.Promote the accelerated development of new productive forces.

Scientific and technological innovation: upper antenna, lower ground gas
“Create an international first -class food science and technology innovation platform”, “become a highland for scientific and technological innovation for industry -university -research” … Entering the Central Plains Food Laboratory Building.Essence
“We have absorbed 12 academicians and formed 24 science and technology teams.” Su Jingkai, director of the laboratory service center, introduced that the laboratory has R & D buildings, Chinese test bases, and incubation centers, and multiple first -class professional laboratories.
The food industry is one of the two major industries in our province’s main business income of over trillion yuan. It is also the leading industry, advantageous industries, and characteristic industries of Luohe City. The total size exceeds 200 billion yuan.The laboratory provides the “fertile soil” of scientific research innovation.Experts can enter the corporate workshop from the laboratory, which greatly shortens the time of scientific research results from “bookshelf” to “shelves”.
A provincial -level laboratory and a famous food city opened a “two -way rush” that enabled each other.The Central Plains Food Laboratory relies on the mature food industry ecology of Luohe to promote more new technologies “landing and gold”; Luohe uses laboratory to integrate technological innovation resources to accelerate the layout of new tracks in new fields.
Achievements conversion: Enterprise placing orders, scientists receive orders
Henan Sanjianke Food Technology Co., Ltd. produces workshops. A batch of “happy yogurt” has stepped down the production line and transported to all parts of the country … “Happy Yogurt” is the first scientific research results transformation product in the Central Plains Food Laboratory.The patented bacteria of the scientific research team is expected to exceed 100 million yuan this single product sales this year.
“In early April, we newly launched a osmanthus fairy brewing yogurt, which was also developed in cooperation with the laboratory.” Chang Xiaojing, general manager of the company, has built a collaborative innovation center with the Central Plains Food Lab.The market feedback is good, driving the company’s production and sales.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Central Plains Food Lab, the scientific and technological achievements were transformed in prominent positions, and the “enterprise placing an order, scientist picking up the order” model to accurately “pulse” for enterprises to help enterprises solve the “pain point” of technology.
The potato flour produced by Luohe Yu Dingyuan Food Industry Co., Ltd. is sticky and fragile. Cao Shi, the person in charge of the enterprise, set the initiative to find the door and “place an order” to scientists to solve this problem.After “receiving orders”, the expert team uses double -layer cold water circulation technology and protein extract in the powder. The product not only improves cooking resistance, but also is more soft.
“We organize academicians and scientific research teams and entrepreneurs every month to communicate face -to -face exchanges, and technical problems encountered during the research and development process.” Zhao Ziwei, the transformation department of the Central Plains Food Laboratory, signed a technical cooperation agreement with 16 companies.With 31 companies, a collaborative innovation center has been established to provide technical services for more than 280 food companies.
In order to promote more “fruit of scientific research”, Luohe City is building the Henan Food Science and Technology Park Project to accelerate the construction of a “laboratory+graduate school+incubator+secondary test base+industrial fund+industrial park”Full chain scientific research conversion system.
Prospective layout: open up new areas and seize new tracks
How can a piece of sweet and delicious bread achieve the unity of taste and health?Together with the expert team of the Central Plains Food Lab and the R & D team of the enterprise in Luohe Hengda Food Industry Co., Ltd., the final production parameters of the new bread products that are about to be available will be adjusted.
Han Susu, a laboratory researcher participating in technical research, said: “We join a kind of edible enzyme that is independently produced, which can convert sucrose into a probiotic substance, which can achieve hypoglycemic effects, but also increase dietary fiber and promote the absorption of the human body.”
In Luohe, there are many companies that use the scientific research forces of the laboratory to seize the large health industry track.Shuanghui focuses on food nutrition and health research and vigorously develop new products; Zhongda Hengyuan has developed new functional health foods to meet people’s personality needs; Wei Long set up special research funds for condiment products for nutrition and health, and continues to innovate …
Nutritional health is the “eternal theme” of the food industry.The Central Plains Food Laboratory strives to practice the “Great Food Concept” leader to carry out more than 90 research research in the three major directions of nutritional health, homologous food and drugs, and future food, open up new and new fields and develop new tracks, shape new development of new kinetic energyNew advantage.
