Qilu.com·Lightning News August 15th What can a grain of wheat become? Flour, noodles, and bread, people usually think of these first. At Binzhou Zhongyu Food Co., Ltd., a grain of wheat has also "transformed" products such as gluten powder, special-grade alcohol, erythritol, dietary fiber, protein peptides, etc., not only achieving three "national firsts", but also Greatly improve the added value of the product. Here, the reporter personally experienced the birth, communication and development of wheat as well as the entire industrial chain carefully built by Zhongyu.

Look at Binzhou for the grain industry. Binzhou is a veritable food industry city. In recent years, it has accelerated the extension of the industrial chain, developed full industry chain operations, driven by post-production services, led by intensive processing, etc., and promoted the processing level from coarse to fine, the processing format from less to more, and the processing The chain has grown from short to long, gradually transforming from "grain processing" to "food production".
Zhongyu was founded in October 2003. It was originally a small flour mill with only 46 employees. After nearly 20 years of exploration and development, Zhongyu has now become a "China Good Grain and Oil" demonstration enterprise with more than 6,000 employees. Provincial agricultural "new six industries" demonstration enterprise. "In recent years, Zhongyu Food has been based on the entire wheat industry chain of "integration of three industries and green cycle", and has made every effort to tackle the intensive processing of wheat.

In the Zhongyu Three-Industry Integration Development Demonstration Park, gluten flour, special grade alcohol, and erythritol , the dietary fiber workshop has been put into production, and the protein peptide pilot test was successful , the first major breakthrough in the country to produce erythritol, dietary fiber, and protein peptides from wheat processing by-products
In 2019, Zhongyu cooperated with Professor Zhang Hui of Jiangnan University on the "high-value comprehensive utilization of wheat bran." "Research on its Industrialization Pathways" project was successfully selected as an important project in Shandong Province. R&D plan. This project successfully extracted high-quality wheat dietary fiber from wheat bran and scientifically formulated high-fiber flour, high-fiber noodles, Zhongguwei powder, Zhongguwei crispy rice, sesame seed cakes, biscuits and other products. Favored by consumers. Dietary fiber products have a profit increase of more than 30% compared with ordinary products. It is expected that the annual output value will be 420 million yuan and the new profit will be 110 million yuan.

Zhongyu Colloidal Wheat Protein Peptide breaks the traditional wheat peptide preparation process based on gluten flour, greatly simplifying the preparation process and consuming only 100% energy. It is about 30% of the traditional process; and the activity of the product is greatly Improved, the product has a strong colloid texture, can form a stable emulsion, and can withstand high-temperature sterilization and remain stable; the product has significant functions in enhancing immunity, assisting in lowering blood sugar, and antioxidants, and can be widely used in functional foods, Protein drinks and other foods, and can be used as raw materials for health products, widely used in anti-aging, beauty It has good market prospects and economic and social benefits in cosmetics and care products such as whitening and repairing.
