Now is the peak season for the production of canned fruits, into the automated production workshop of Zhejiang Fengdao Food Co., Ltd., after strict screening of yellow peaches into the automatic peach digging machine, to achieve the separation of meat cores, and then, the yellow peach pulp into the conveyor belt, after a series of production processes such as alkali drenching, pre-cooking, soup, canning, sterilization, gold inspection, etc., it has become a can of cans of crystal clear canned yellow peaches, and is sold at home and abroad.
This is the epitome of Toshima Food's pursuit of new quality and accelerating the development of new quality productivity with scientific and technological innovation. With the rapid development of economy and society, people's pursuit of food quality has reached a new height, and the demand for diversification and health has been increasing.
"How to meet people's growing pursuit of quality has become the biggest challenge facing the traditional food industry, and it is also the goal of the food industry to develop towards new quality," said Mr. Zhang Xiaozhong, deputy general manager of Toshima Foods (expert member of the Canned Food Science and Technology Committee of China Food Industry Association). In recent years, Toshima Foods has taken quality as the guarantee and promoted development through innovation, introduced artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other technologies, focused on new quality productivity, and continuously promoted cutting-edge technological innovation and the transformation of traditional industries to further improve product quality and production efficiency.
Toshima Food's canned fruits have long been full of science and technology. Zhang Xiaozhong said that in recent years, enterprises have increased investment in science and technology and product research and development, created new products, new ideas, new technologies and new brands, and the market share at home and abroad has continued to increase. As one of the first batch of food companies in China to lead the research and development of automatic orange peeling technology and realize the automatic petaling function of oranges based on AI, its automatic peeling technology and automatic peeling machine have obtained national patents, which makes the sorting faster and more accurate under the premise of ensuring the quality of raw materials, which is also one of the main reasons for the strong productivity of this enterprise.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the split technology, Toshima Foods has made research and innovation in many aspects of canning, such as the use of nitrogen filling preservation technology, the use of environmentally friendly materials and soft canning packaging, etc., which closely meet the needs of the current market and are widely supported by consumers at home and abroad, which has greatly contributed to the sustainable development of the canned fruit industry. In addition, Toshima Foods has also independently developed a number of core technologies in the industry, such as automatic weighing and canning technology for Cystium oranges, automatic quantitative soup filling technology for canning sealing machine, environmentally friendly fruit cup sealing technology, energy-saving fruit cup coding technology, automatic capping technology, etc., all of which have been industrialized and are in an advanced position in the industry.
The application of sterilization technology is inseparable from the ultra-long shelf life of canned food. The provincial industrial new product (new technology) development project of Zhejiang Province "227g aseptic long shelf life high barrier cup orange" in charge of Toshima Foods has realized the industrial application of high barrier fruit cup technology. Toshima Foods combines the unique high-barrier cup sealing process with the national patented technology to reduce the oxygen content in the container to close to 0, and then the filling gas replaces the air in the barrier cup, and through a series of production processes, it realizes rapid freshness locking, and retains the deliciousness and nutrition of fresh fruits to the greatest extent.
In response to the diverse and personalized consumption needs of consumer groups, Toshima Foods has successively launched new products, such as fresh fruit juice orange products launched in 2010; For example, in response to the health needs of some consumers for enhancing VC and fiber +, according to the characteristics of oranges and yellow peaches rich in VC and fiber, products that meet the daily needs of adults with VC and dietary fiber have been developed, and VC0 with cane candy meat juice orange fruit cups and fiber + 0 yellow peach pulp juice cups with sucrose were launched in September 2020; It was the first to produce canned red grapefruit chips in China and put them on the shelves of Sam's Club.
