Recently, the fourth session of the fifth session of the China Light Industry Federation and the fourth session of the eighth council of the All-China Federation of Handicraft Cooperatives were held in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, and the meeting read out the commendation decision of the 2023 China Federation of Light Industry Science and Technology Award. The project "Industrialization of Key Technologies for the Production of Starch-based Rare Sugars and Sugar Alcohols" jointly declared by Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Qilu University of Technology won the "First Prize of Science and Technology Progress Award of China Light Industry Federation in 2023".
It is reported that the Science and Technology Award of the China Light Industry Federation is the highest scientific and technological progress award of the mainland light industry, which aims to commend the scientific research, technological innovation and development in the field of the mainland light industry, as well as the organizations and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of scientific research achievements and the realization of high-tech industrialization, and is considered to be the "Medal of Honor" of the light industry.
"Industrialization of Key Technologies for the Production of Starch-based Rare Sugars and Sugar Alcohols" project
Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Qilu University of Technology have developed five kinds of industrialization technologies for the production of rare functional sugars and sugar alcohols by using starch-based sugars as raw materials by using starch-based sugars as raw materials to effectively reduce the production cost of rare functional sugars and improve product quality while effectively reducing the production cost of rare functional sugars.
This project, from strains to fermentation, to extraction and refining technology, has reached the international advanced level. It has greatly improved the innovation ability of the mainland in the field of rare sugar and sugar alcohol sweeteners, and has had a profound impact on the technological progress of related industries around the world.
Founded in 2004, Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a national key leading enterprise of agricultural industrialization, one of the top 100 enterprises in China's light industry and one of the top 10 enterprises in China's fermentation industry, with an annual deep processing of 1.6 million tons of corn, covering an area of more than 1,600 acres and more than 3,200 employees.
