Application of nucleic acids in food production

DNA

As we all know, there are also a variety of immunoactive substances in breast milk, among which nucleic acids and nucleotides play a very important role. The analysis showed that colostrum is dominated by ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and after one month, the level of nucleic acid in milk begins to decrease, while the content of nucleotides gradually increases, and with the continuation of lactation, breast milk mainly provides nucleic acid nutrition to infants in the form of nucleotides. Nutritionists propose that infants need to consume 160 mg of nucleic acids and their derivatives per day to meet normal growth and development. The United States, Canada in 1989 legislated that nucleotides should be supplemented in fresh milk and milk powder consumed by infants and young children, and different types of nucleotides should be supplemented according to different periods of growth and development. In 1994, the European Community proposed that nucleic acids, as important life substances for human beings, should be supplemented with nucleic acids and nucleic acid derivatives in food. At present, the vast majority of milk powder in Europe is supplemented with nucleic acids.

Application of nucleic acids in food production

American scientist and Nobel Prize winner Frank confirmed through thousands of clinical studies that appropriate supplementation of nucleic acids, with corresponding enzymes and coenzymes, has a good effect on activating and strengthening human cells, promoting metabolism, enhancing immunity, and preventing and treating a variety of functional and degenerative diseases. If sufficient nucleic acids can be provided throughout a person's life, then the organs of the human body will maintain vigorous vitality and the aging of the human body will slow down. In 1977, Dr. Frank established nucleic acid therapy (gene therapy), which repairs damaged genes in the human body by supplementing nucleic acid, which was quickly affirmed by the international medical community and nutrition community and widely used in clinical practice.

Application of nucleic acids in food production

The development of nucleic acid health foods in the mainland only started in the 90s of the 20th century, and initially imported flavored nucleotides from Japan and other countries to improve the flavor of seasoned foods. In recent years, the mainland has invested a lot of scientific research in the research and development of nucleic acid health care products, and has achieved some gratifying results. For example, the successful antisense nucleic acid studied by Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry can prevent the synthesis of proteins in tumor cells, thereby producing good anti-tumor effects, especially the ability to inhibit the growth of liver cells exceeds that of any current chemotherapy drug, and it also has a good effect on inhibiting the growth of other malignant tumor cells. In 1998, Dalian Zhen'ao Nucleic Acid Co., Ltd. was built by Chinese-Americans in Dalian, China, which uses plants as raw materials to produce nucleic acid health products - Zhen'ao Nucleic Acid, which is currently the largest domestic investment in nucleic acid health food manufacturers, and the project has been listed as a national torch project.
