From August 10th to 12th, the 17th International Seminar on Probiotics and Health, hosted by China Food Science and Technology Society , hosted by China Food Science and Technology Society Probiotics Branch, Zhejiang Food Society, Zhejiang Business University and other units, was held in Hangzhou. The conference aims to grasp the new trends in the industry's development and enhance the endogenous driving force for the healthy development of the industry.
snacks noticed that as a part of the refrigerated food industry, weiquan also participated in the conference. Let's pay attention to it below.
New trends in the industry development
This international seminar on probiotics and health is positioned at three goals. First, stand at the forefront of science and technology and industrial innovation, and start a new journey of high-quality development of the probiotic industry in the intersection and extension of disciplines; second, promote the formation of "academic consensus" and strategic thinking in the field of probiotic research in my country in active academic exchanges; third, let more young people experience the style of probiotic technology and industry through this conference's forward-looking and exciting reports and corporate summit forums, and cultivate new forces facing the future of the industry.
According to reports, representatives from more than 150 scientific research institutes, universities and enterprises at home and abroad participated in the meeting. Several authoritative experts in the field of probiotics have also brought nearly 50 forward-looking wonderful reports.
It is worth noting that the conference released two academic achievements "Scientific Review of the 'Doing and Effective Relationship' of Probiotics" and "Research Status and Industrial Applications of Postbiotics".
Among them, "Scientific Review of the 'Dose-Effect Relationship' of Probiotics" is a research project officially established by the Probiotic Branch of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology in 2021, in order to provide technical reference for the dosage indicators and industrial applications of probiotics in my country's standard regulations.
The results published this time mainly revolve around the following six aspects, including: First, the intake of probiotics is a key factor in its health role; Second, accurate counting of live bacteria is an important technical condition for measuring probiotic dose; Third, the recommended intake of probiotics by existing research literature and relevant international standards and regulations is mainly concentrated in 107~1011 CFU/d; Fourth, the healthy dose of probiotics has strain differences, and the higher the amount, the better; Fifth, the clinical dose of probiotics in different types of foods is relatively stable; Sixth, the healthy effect of probiotics does not depend on the number of strain complexes, and should be based on scientific research on inter-strain interactions.

During the conference, the founding meeting of the third board of directors of the Probiotic Branch of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology was successfully held in Hangzhou. Nearly 100 industry representatives from 20 provinces (cities and autonomous regions) across the country attended the conference. Snacks noticed that Teng Yiyong, general manager of Weiquan Consumer Products, was elected as the new director of the third Probiotic Branch.

weiquan: New prospects for the future
After more than 20 years of accumulation and development, some companies in the probiotic industry have grown rapidly and become the backbone supporting the development of the industry. During the peak corporate dialogue session, representatives of various probiotic industries, including Weiquan, gathered together to conduct in-depth discussions on the standard construction and industrialization development of the probiotic industry.
During the dialogue session, Tong Ling, head of the Weiquan Business Management Department, said that the scientific theory of the "dose-effect relationship" of probiotics coincides with the market user needs seen by Weiquan in recent years. He shared: "Weiquan has been building a new market benchmark since 2010: 30 billion/100ml, and by 2016, it has been upgraded to 60 billion/100ml. In 2020, it has made a new upgrade for our lactic acid bacteria drinks, creating ' flavored total lactic acid bacteria 80 billion'."
"High orders of magnitude further resist the erosion of gastric acid bile on the strains, and at the same time it will be safer, allowing more live probiotics to reach our stomach and intestines and effectively maintain the balance of the intestinal environment." Tong Ling said.
At the same time, Weiquan also shared the new outlook for the probiotic industry in the post-epidemic era. In Weiquan's view, the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic has had an important impact on the development of my country's probiotic industry. Tong Ling, head of the management department of
weiquan, said: "On the one hand, in order to prevent and control and block the spread of the epidemic, various places have taken strict control measures to have some impact on the normal operation of the enterprise's operating chain; on the other hand, affected by this epidemic, health has become the first demand of consumers. Probiotic products have become the target of people's favor with their "health genes", which has ushered in a new turning point in the development of the probiotic industry."
Therefore, although the ongoing epidemic will have a significant impact on enterprises, the crisis at this moment is also a turning point. Although the epidemic has brought challenges, it has also brought opportunities to the food industry.
Tong Ling believes that consumers who have experienced the new crown epidemic will pay more attention to a nutritious and healthy diet. At the same time, food consumption has become more rational, and we hope that using a scientific and reasonable nutritional diet can effectively improve nutritional status and enhance resistance. Consumers will pay more attention to a balanced diet, such as whether the intake of protein and nutrients is sufficient, how much active probiotic is supplemented every day, and will study the ingredients and efficacy of dairy products.
Not long ago, market research agency Innova Market Insight released the latest China report. The report also shows that in the post-epidemic era, Chinese consumers realize the importance of health, so they prefer to choose a "healthy diet" lifestyle, and also prefer nutritious foods that can make them "healthy and beautiful".
has entered the mainland Chinese market since 2003. Weiquan has been committed to promoting probiotic products containing high live bacterial counts, and has done a lot of upgrades, including from the initial Weiquan lactic acid bacteria beverage containing 10 billion/100ml of active Lactobacillus paracasei to Weiquan 60 billion lactic acid bacteria beverage , and to today's Weiquan 80 billion active lactic acid bacteria beverage.
"Weiquan, as a part of the refrigerated food industry, will continue to expand the categories of refrigerated beverages and dairy products according to consumers' needs to meet consumers' needs for health and deliciousness." Tong Ling said: "Weiquan firmly believes that innovation is the core driving force for achieving differences and winning brand competitiveness. We always adhere to scientific research, actively explore intestinal health, focus on the development of high-quality refrigerated beverages and dairy products, and help the national health practice."
