    "Calories my natural enemy, burn my calories." The lyrics of this online red song have sung the hearts and minds of countless obese people, especially sweetheart lovers, who dream that one day they can "eat for a long time" Sugar and other additives in sweet food are undoubtedly the "culprit" Is there any way to make food sweet without increasing calories? In 2008, Huang huaxue, a graduate of Hunan Agricultural University, founded Hunan Huacheng biological resources Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Huacheng biology"), "we extract the glucoside of Siraitia grosvenorii from Siraitia grosvenorii, which is a natural sugar that will not be absorbed by the human body and has zero calories." Now, the automation level of Huacheng biological production base is the industry leader After a Siraitia fruit enters the equipment of the production workshop, it is already a zero calorie natural sugar substitute when it "reappears" It only needs five workers to complete more than ten processing procedures How to produce a Siraitia grosvenorii picked from a vine in a workshop of 3000 square meters under the control of 5 people, and how to turn it into a sweet glycoside in powder or liquid state? In the Changsha production base of Huacheng biology, he Jinjun, chief engineer of Huacheng biology, took the reporter through the process Through the conveyor belt, Siraitia grosvenorii first passes through the countercurrent extraction equipment "The fruit is broken here and the liquid juice is extracted," he explained, saying that the countercurrent is a little more popular, just like making tea "When the water is in, the tea is in at the same time After brewing, the tea is taken out and the dregs are discharged from the other end." Subsequently, the liquid enters the sterilization and filtration process There are four levels of filtering, each with its own "mission" For example, in the centrifugal filtration, the visible pulp impurities are taken out, while in the micron level filtration, the separation index can reach 200 nm, achieving precise filtration Friends who have soaked Siraitia grosvenorii know that its liquid is tea yellow, but as a food additive, it often needs to be colorless Therefore, the juice after filtration should be decolorized by resin "These links are all physical processing, without chemical addition, to maintain the original flavor to the greatest extent." He March said After several rounds in the workshop, it's time to take a walk outside The 36 meter high five effect concentrator can change 3% juice into 60% liquid "It's the most traditional concentration process to boil in a big pot, but the high temperature often brings a lot of damage The processing temperature of our equipment is only 40 degrees Celsius, and the efficiency is high It can complete 10 tons of concentration in an hour," he told reporters, pointing to the giant From the fruit into the factory to the product leaving the factory, it can't be detected by the naked eye In a few hours, it has completed a gorgeous transformation In this 3000 square meter production workshop, "long" pipes and tanks of various sizes, only 5 people are in charge of the production on site every day, and the labor intensity is not high, only through the touch screen operating system can be completed With intelligent and automatic production equipment, Huacheng bio's 50% of the total capacity of Siraitia grosvenoride V50 is 450 tons / year, becoming the world's largest company specializing in the production of Siraitia grosvenorii extract Last month, a new dessert store named "green fruit dessert" was opened at the entrance of Changsha division Different from other desserts, whether it's milk tea, milkshake, cake or ice cream, it's made of siraitin produced by Huacheng biology "A cup of 500ml milk tea contains about 30g of sugar, and the heat brought by sucrose is about 500kj If we use Siraitia glucoside to completely replace sucrose, we can reduce 400kj of heat, reduce sugar without reducing sweetness, and truly achieve low heat, delicious without fat!" Huacheng biological Marketing Director Zhou Zhan told reporters As a special product of China, Siraitia grosvenorii, as a sweet additive, was first popularized and applied in the United States In 2010, the U.S FDA officially passed the food safety certification of Luohan fructose, and China's standard was officially implemented in 2017 "The reason why Mogroside is sweet is that it can combine with the sweet receptor of our tongue taste buds to produce a sweet taste, and it does not participate in metabolism, cause no changes in blood sugar, cause no obesity and tooth decay Compared with xylitol, Mogroside has the advantages of low cost and no chemical processing." According to the weekly exhibition, all products and scenes using sucrose can be replaced by Lohan fructose, which can also be eaten by diabetics According to the existing national standard, at present, only sucrose and natural zero calorie luohanfructose can be added in an appropriate amount according to the production requirements, with unlimited requirements How popular is Lohan fructose? More than 4000 kinds of products have been used in the world Wrigley gum, Starbucks coffee, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Nestle coffee and other world-famous brands are all launching products using Lohan fructose, which are widely loved by consumers It is very important to plant and select raw materials for scientific research to improve planting efficiency and help farmers to increase their income in agricultural products processing industry Huacheng biology focuses on the source of scientific research Based on the principle of biogenetics, Huacheng biology successfully increased the average content of Mogroside in mogrosis fruit from 0.35% in 2005 to 0.43% in 2018 "Our goal is to increase this to 0.65% by 2025, when the cost of use will be the same as that of sucrose." Zhou Zhan said that in terms of extraction, they are also the industry leader, with the extraction rate per 100 kg of fruit increased from 85% to 95% In addition, Huacheng biology also actively promotes semi-automatic and automatic planting The planting area of a household can be increased from 15 mu / year to 30 mu / year through semi-automatic planting The automatic planting can be increased to 50 mu / year, and the income can be increased from 75000 yuan / year to 150000 yuan / year and 300000 yuan / year accordingly At present, Huacheng biology is the top two in the global market share of Luohan fructose in nearly three years "Huacheng biology has formed the whole industry chain ecology, with a total turnover of 159 million yuan last year, 90% of which is exports, and this year will usher in a huge breakthrough."
