With the rise and application of various food technologies, more innovative products will appear on the market, and the way food is produced and supplied will be completely different from the traditional ones. The following three innovative technologies may subvert future foods. Industry, while ensuring product health, nutrition, and safety, will also bring new taste buds to consumers.
Create personalized healthy nutrition products
Create personalized healthy nutrition products based on personal genetic research
The so-called personalized nutrition mainly refers to the concept of personalized diet based on the genetic makeup of the individual to determine the body's response to different foods. In fact, this concept is not new. At present, some companies start Provide users with personalized food service.
It is reported that a well-known dairy company and research institute jointly established the 'Genetic and Nutrition Joint Laboratory' in Shanghai. In the future, it will create a formula suitable for Chinese people, and a formula for maternal and child nutrition as a new research and development focus. Start-ups such as a genetic testing company in the United Kingdom, Canadian biotechnology companies and US food e-commerce companies are providing users with customized, personalized food services based on personal DNA analysis.
The author has learned that many researchers are studying the unique genetic makeup of some people and that they are usually easy for others for certain foods, such as Haitao purchasing foreign dairy products, due to the difference in nutrition formula between domestic and foreign milk powder, 1-6 years old There are differences in carbohydrates, protein, and fiber between Chinese and American infants. However, whether these products are suitable for Chinese genetic and physiological characteristics seems to be ignored by the public.
Nutrition experts in the industry pointed out that genetics and nutrition correspond to individual nutrition, while precision nutrition is more complicated. How to integrate micronutrients with health, there is a lot of work to be done in the future, which is also an important reason for the establishment of genetic nutrition laboratory. .
Blockchain technology applied to traceability to promote product supply chain transformation
With the improvement of people's living standards, the quality and safety requirements for fresh products and agricultural products are getting higher and higher. However, behind the convenience of efficient logistics, there are also food safety problems. For example, agricultural products with pesticide residues have not been sampled in time. Inflow into the market, as well as the outbreak of salmonella infection in the United States, after several months of investigation, it was finally determined that the source of pollution came from papaya imported from Mexico... these are well-regulated, detected, recorded and tracked in real time. Food safety accident.
As we all know, most of the solutions commonly used in the market currently use the food safety traceability system to implement the one-to-one code traceability system, but this is only a simple and random QR code to paste on the product, which can only alleviate the traceability of the product to a certain extent. Sexual problems, and the cost of this type of traceability is higher, and the current popularity is lower.
If the blockchain system is used to record and track transactions in the entire food supply chain, the above problems can be solved. In 2017, the concept of blockchain is gradually becoming known to the public. At present, the discussion of blockchain is becoming increasingly hot. The blockchain industry is also entering a stage of rapid development. According to relevant personnel, the traceability of the blockchain can be quickly resolved before food safety problems arise, especially for major pollution sources, and pesticide residue disposal is like troubleshooting a single supply. Business is as simple as.
'Cell' technology changes production methods to promote the development of cell agriculture
In recent years, cell agriculture has emerged as a new technology. It is an agricultural production method based on cell culture. It is similar in appearance to food obtained from animals, but not as large-scale production methods as traditional farms. .
The authors have learned that a university in Central China has made new progress in the regulation of phytochemical generation of citrus. The study reported the role of miR156 in regulating erythrocyte somatic embryogenesis. It also confirmed the miR156-SPL regulatory module on citrus somatic embryos. The influence of potential is encountered, and the corresponding regulatory pathways are explored, which provides a theoretical basis for improving the ability of plant somatic embryogenesis.
In addition, companies in the United States use cell technology to produce milk produced by 'cells', which are mainly introduced into specific DNA gene fragments by genetic biology techniques and techniques to induce recombinant yeast cells to efficiently and efficiently express related proteins in milk. The 'cell' produces a milk taste that is comparable to real milk.
Human wisdom is infinite. Driven by the rapid development of the food industry, we believe that there will be more food technology and innovative products in the future, to meet the individual needs of more consumers, and to make the table of the people richer. Healthier and safer.
