Berry water is a traditional dish in the Northwest with a long history. Nowadays, this traditional dish is achieving a gorgeous turn and glowing with new quality productivity through standardization, industrialization, intelligent production, branding and diversified operation.
Walking into the product exhibition hall of Gansu Longzhiwei Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., various slurry products such as clear slurry water, boiled slurry water, slurry water surface, slurry water sauerkraut fish seasoning, slurry water yogurt and other slurry water products were placed in the booth, and the staff was selling all kinds of slurry products live in the live broadcast room. At the same time, there was a hot and busy scene in the production workshop.
The syrup water is mostly used to make noodle soup, and it is mainly homemade for personal use. In the past, due to the restrictions of production conditions, the products were uneven, the variety structure was single, the degree of commercialization was low, and the regional production and sales characteristics were obvious, which made it difficult for the products to go out. The vegetables with good quality syrup are soft, the soup is refreshing and cool, and the sour aroma brought by fermentation is unique and peaceful. The difficulty of factory production of slurry water lies in how to accurately control key indicators such as anaerobic fermentation temperature, time, total acidity and PH index. In 2021, Guo Yabin, a young returnee from Longxi County, established Gansu Longzhiwei Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., aiming at the standardization and intelligent production of slurry water, and actively strengthening industry-university-research cooperation with Lanzhou University of Technology and other scientific research institutes.
Guo Yabin, Chairman of Gansu Longzhiwei Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd.: This innovative technology not only realizes the strict requirements that the total acid must be greater than 4.5 and the PH value is 3.0, but also accurately controls the fermentation time at 36 hours and the fermentation temperature at 33-40 degrees. This transformation marks that we have moved from traditional workshop production to a new stage of standardized production, and has laid a solid foundation for the quality improvement of the slurry industry.
In March 2022, Gansu Longzhiwei Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. was officially put into operation, with three sauerkraut production lines, 12 8-ton constant temperature fermentation tanks, and a daily output of 96,000 bags of slurry, becoming the first large-scale production enterprise in the province to realize sauerkraut in syrup. In recent years, the company has made unremitting efforts to promote technological innovation, product innovation and taste innovation, successfully passed ISO (Quality Management System) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System) certification, successively developed and launched 18 innovative products in 5 categories, and successfully applied for 10 invention patents and 3 trademarks. In 2023, the company will be recognized as a national high-tech enterprise.
