Feihe organic OPO debut product transformation is already in preparation

News from this newspaper (reporter Yang Xiaojing) "Scientific research" has become a powerful weapon in the competition of milk powder, in order to promote milk powder to be closer to breast milk

Advanced OPO

It is understood that more than ten years ago, the fat in infant formula milk powder in China mainly came from vegetable oil and fresh milk

According to Xu Yajun, a professor at the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Peking University School of Medicine, palmitic acid is a substance involved in the baby's energy supply and neurodevelopment, but palmitic acid is a fully saturated fatty acid, which is very easy to combine with calcium in food to form "calcium soap".

More than 10 years ago, Feihe's research and development team discovered this special OPO structural lipid in Chinese breast milk research

Since then, OPO has gradually become the "standard" of mainstream formula milk powder products

Organic OPO brings new growth points in the market

According to Xu Xuebing, at present, organic OPO accounts for less than one thousandth of the total OPO globally, which is a very scarce resource

Nevertheless, how to prepare organic OPO is still an industry problem

It is understood that Feihe and its partner Yihai Kerry Group have already started the technical research and reserve of organic OPO

Regarding Feihe's progress in the application of organic OPO, Jiang Shilong, vice president of China Feihe Research Institute, revealed that the raw material research and development and production transformation of organic OPO are ready.

"The application of organic OPO will become a new growth point for Feihe in the field of infant formula milk powder

Increase scientific research efforts around getting closer to breast milk

In recent years, with the increasing trend of consumption upgrading, consumers' demand for organic milk powder has increased, and organic milk powder has risen rapidly

　　The release of Feihe's first organic patent OPO this time not only shows the continuous improvement of the company's scientific research strength, but also enhances its market competitiveness

　　At the same time, the implementation of the new national standard and the milk formula registration system will further urge enterprises to develop and design more scientific formulas, improve the research and development capabilities, production capabilities, and inspection capabilities of infant formula milk powder manufacturers, and ensure the quality of infant formula milk powder.

　　At the same time, in addition to providing high-quality nutritional support for Chinese babies, enterprises should also pay attention to the cognitive development of infants and young children to promote the overall growth of children
