Pre-made dishes have spawned trillions of blue ocean market experts remind that capturing taste buds still requires technological blessing

Take out a bag of Jin Tang Niu San Bao from the refrigerator, boil it in a casserole, add some cabbage noodles, and fry two simple vegetarian dishes.

In addition to Jintang Niu Sanbao, Xiaozhu's refrigerator also has "hard vegetables" such as pork with plums and steamed noodles

"Daodao is a hard dish, easy to become a chef" "heated and ready-to-eat, dine-in taste".

What is a prepared dish? Wang Yun, vice president of the Beijing Culinary Association, believes that pre-made dishes refer to dishes that are produced in advance in a central kitchen or food factory in accordance with the pre-set production process or specifications and strictly in accordance with the food industry process

From this point of view, pre-cooked dishes are not new

In the 1970s and 1980s, prepared dishes entered a mature stage

Pre-prepared dishes in China started a little later

Wang Yun analyzed that in recent years, the large-scale construction of central kitchens by catering companies to reduce costs and standardize has promoted the rapid development of pre-made dishes

The new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the speed of pre-made dishes entering thousands of households

While being favored by consumers, pre-prepared dishes have made agriculture, food, catering, e-commerce and other enterprises smell huge business opportunities, giving birth to a trillion-level blue ocean market

According to media reports, since 2013, a total of 72 investment and financing events have occurred in the prefabricated food track.

On June 27, Feng Quanpu, vice president of JD.

Faced with the booming prefabricated vegetable market, Wang Yun, who has conducted a lot of research, reminded: "The most important thing for relevant companies to do is to strengthen research and development, cultivate internal skills, and not be carried forward by capital and lose their way

"How to make the processed dishes show the original taste after reheating involves complex food processing technologies

In addition, Wang Yun said that the "gelatinization" of starch is also a problem in food processing.

Wang Yun said that he learned from the communication with scientific researchers and enterprises that the pure meat dishes in various cuisines have been relatively standardized and mature, such as barbecued pork, lion head, buckled pork, rice noodles, etc.

"Pre-made dishes actually span the catering industry and the food processing industry, but the food safety standards of these two industries are very different, and there are many technical problems that need to be overcome to connect them well
.
" Wang Yun said
.

At the recently held 2022 China (Yuanyang) Prefabricated Vegetable Industry Conference, Wen Yanjun, chairman of Henan Zhongda Hengyuan Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
, said that on the basis of ensuring nutrition, the future prefabricated vegetable industry will diversify its flavors and produce more To achieve these five development goals, there are still many technical bottlenecks, such as how to retain flavor, how to natural color, and how to introduce functional and healthy elements , How to conquer natural food preservation technology
.

"You can't follow capital too blindly
.
" Wang Yun appealed that there are already many large prefabricated vegetable production and processing plants in many provinces and cities
.
"

　　"It is suggested that pre-prepared food enterprises can actively participate in the national emergency protection, and produce and process products according to the tastes of different groups, such as health care, rural tourism, etc.
, and even overseas markets.
Let's work together to create China's pre-prepared food culture and make it a country that promotes rural revitalization.
New kinetic energy
.
" Wang Yun finally said
