Double eleven welfare

At the 4th China Food Expo, foodaily was lucky to come to the scene to see its style and reveal this innovative feast gathering global food enterprises for the first time.

 

Different from the previous industrial exhibitions such as food ingredients exhibition, Baking Exhibition and Chinese food exhibition, the high starting point and grand perspective of entering the Expo make every exhibition area and booth show “benefiting all living beings and looking into the future” The agriculture and food industries shoulder the important task of basic people’s livelihood. Each session is placed in exhibition halls 1 and 2, which is also one of the most popular exhibition areas.

 

Throughout the day, I walked around the three food pavilions like a lantern. Like a star scout, I tried to find innovative products and core technologies that can represent the high level of the industry. It is obvious that the high standard of entering the Expo, through the careful design of each booth, the neat and warm atmosphere in the exhibition hall, especially the star products and potential products that represent the highest strength of the enterprise, can make everyone appreciate Everyone is full of harvest.

Next, report the time. The author selected 7 enterprises and more than 10 new products from hundreds of visited enterprises as the fruits of this exhibition. These products either aim at the urgent demands of a certain group of people, or design more subdivided food scenes, or make breakthroughs in product form, convenience and functional components. Behind them, there are always core technologies and new raw and auxiliary materials Support. These are the bottom driving force to promote industrial innovation, and they are also the places that domestic brands, which are becoming more sophisticated in packaging design and brand marketing, diligently pursue and strive to temper in the current new consumption wave.

 

Next, the author will share these new findings with you one by one according to several large crowd modules.

 

infant formula

 

At present, the innovation hot spot of formula milk powder has moved from the macro nutrition distribution ratio to breast milk, such as the balanced allocation of whey protein and casein, minerals and vitamins, DHA / EPA and other unsaturated fatty acids, towards the “supplement” of micro components, including many trace active components, such as lactoferrin, OPO structural fat, milk fat globule membrane, etc.

 

Breast milk oligosaccharides are undoubtedly the new favorites of functional ingredients. At Danone and Nestle booths, aptamil and illuma The high-end formula containing HMO is shown respectively. On the basis of strengthening the conventional prebiotics GOS and Fos, altami adds two HMOs, 2 ‘- fucosyllactose and 3’ – galactosyllactose, which well supports the development of children’s immune system. While illuma 6hmo adds six HMOs, which helps to build the intestinal flora and immune ability closer to breastfed infants.

In fact, represented by Danone and Nestle, HMO is becoming an important driving force for global formula innovation. With the extensive research on the composition of native breast milk in various countries, it is believed that more HMO milk powder suitable for local babies will be available in the future. The research on HMO extraction and microbial synthesis technology will also promote more HMO ingredients to enrich the functional performance of formula milk powder.

 

In addition, at the Danone booth, the author also saw the very rare whole bean based formula (nuoyneng) in China , aiming at the babies who are totally intolerant of milk and in the family with the concept of vegetarianism. Due to the limitations of processing technology and consumption concept, domestic brands have not set foot in this field yet, and nuoyneng is the only player of soybean based formula in China. It remains to be seen whether soybean based formula can grow into a considerable category in the future.

 

children’s food

Children’s diet has become a popular track in China. Represented by fruits and vegetables, cereal snacks and cheese sticks, it has attracted a large number of start-up brands. At the exhibition site, seafood, milk, milk powder and cheese sticks for children have their own characteristics, which makes the author think about the future of this track again.

 

1. Children’s fish fillet

Seafood is an important part of children’s diet. At present, most of the seafood for children are grilled fish fillets, fish bones, fish intestines or fried semi-finished products with starch, while fresh fish meat is still rare. Lanxue company from Ningbo, Zhejiang, is a supplier of children’s seafood for Carrefour. This time, it brings a wide variety of children’s seafood, including Norwegian Arctic cod There are more than ten kinds of willow, Chilean salmon willow, halibut willow, Atlantic red fish willow, silver cod willow, etc. through artificial bone removal and thorn removal, the Japanese thin cutting process is adopted, which does not contain common condiments and additives in children’s food on the market. It is easy to cook and cook, and can retain the taste and nutrition of fish to the greatest extent.

 

2. Children’s nutrition fortified milk powder

Lmmunohalo launched by ANGA, a brand of Fonterra ™ Fortified milk powder was developed by New Zealand scientists and designed for children aged 4-9. It contains 10 essential vitamins and minerals, including zinc, iron, phosphorus and calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, as well as probiotic DR10 ™、 Prebiotics and lactoferrin. With a hint of vanilla and milk flavor, it tastes delicious. It can be mixed with water, milk, smoothie, etc.

 

3. DHA algal oil children’s milk

The DHA algal oil children’s milk jointly launched by Anja and popular children’s IP aofei Q pet is rich in algal oil DHA and prebiotics, which can be perfectly connected with 4-stage milk powder, and help children maintain intestinal health while promoting children’s nervous system development and protecting retina. The product is seasoned with pineapple juice without additional sucrose, which not only meets the taste needs of babies, but also effectively prevents children’s dental caries, obesity and other problems.

The organic cheese stick launched by Aishi Chenxi in July this year, the organic cream cheese produced from Arla’s exclusive organic ranch in Denmark, has obtained the organic certification of Denmark, the European Union and China. In addition to water, more than 95% of the ingredients in the list use organic raw materials. Organic cheese, which ranks first in the list of ingredients, has an addition of up to 51%, 3.4 times higher than the national standard. Each 100g organic cheese stick contains 240 mg milk calcium, and the package is marked with the organic traceability code belonging to the organic cheese stick.

 

student diet

Big data, artificial intelligence and personalized nutrition technology jointly support the reform of diet and formula design. In addition to designing nutritional meals for adults, integrating these technologies into the development and management of student meals is a new field, which is of more practical significance in China, which pays more attention to dietary science and safety.

 

Weilai, a new benchmark brand of Chinese student nutritious meal established by Guangming group, launched an intelligent management platform for student canteens at this Expo. On the conveyor belt at the scene, boxes of carefully designed nutritional meals for students are “running”, ranging from beef fillet with colored pepper, braised meat, COD, pasta to fried pork chops. All kinds of ingredients are matched reasonably, with good color and shape, which is coveted.

It is reported that all the food materials come from local farms in Shanghai. Using the Internet of things and big data technology, the whole process of each food material from the farm to the table is monitored and managed. The appearance detection report, departure time, central kitchen processing time and school arrival time are clear at a glance. The whole chain tracing makes the whole process highly transparent.

 

The smart management platform created by “Weilai” covers food design, nutrition analysis, food material procurement, supply chain monitoring and management, provides efficient and accurate management tools for upstream and downstream parties of student meals, and truly realizes the standardization of “from field to table”.

It is learned from the staff that the platform has been put into trial operation in several middle schools in Shanghai, and the response is good. In the later stage, it will be widely promoted in Shanghai.

 

Smart canteens are not uncommon in China. In June this year, Hangzhou No. 11 middle school built the first smart canteen in China, allowing smart meal selection, intelligent distribution, accurate service and intelligent nutrition report to be completed on one platform. Obviously, Weilai’s intelligent management platform has more complete functions. Because it involves cumbersome traceability management of agricultural products, it has high requirements for farm control. At present, relying on the five entity guarantee of “big granary, big platform, big base, big farm and ranch”, Guangming group is able to smoothly promote the platform.

 

Foodaily also expects that such a meal management system, led by leading enterprises such as Guangming, will enter a wider group and promote the early realization of the grand goal of “healthy China and nutritious China”.

 

adult food

Compared with infants and children, adults’ dietary demands are more scattered and diverse. Compared with the bustling children’s track, only women (skin care and beauty, detoxification and shaping) in adult food have attracted more attention, while the general healthy diet appeal has become the “background plate” behind the noisy track.

 

Half of the nearly 20 products included in the innovation list are for adults, reflecting the strong interest and huge business potential of multinational giants in this field.
