The latest achievements of the National Selenium Center have reached the international leading level in the field of selenium science and engineering

On August 12, the expert review meeting of scientific and technological achievements of the project "Key Technologies and Applications of Selenium-rich Plant Cultivation and Processing utilization" accepted by Hubei Technology Exchange was held online and offline, applied by the National Selenium-rich Agricultural Products Processing Technology R&D Professional Center (hereinafter referred to as the National Selenium Center) and accepted
by Hubei Technology Exchange.

 

The evaluation meeting of scientific and technological achievements invited Professor Ren Fazheng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and China Agricultural University as the team leader, Professor Cheng Hong of Wuhan University as the deputy group leader, Professor Liu Hongmei of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhang Xingzhong, researcher of Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Professor Fang Yong of Nanjing University of Finance and Economics as members of the expert group to participate in the evaluation meeting
online.
The meeting was presided over
by Jiang Wei, an appraiser of Hubei Provincial Technology Exchange.
Project team members Wuhan Polytechnic University Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Director of the National Selenium Center, Chairman of the Selenium Industry Technology and Health China Innovation Alliance, Professor Cheng Shuiyuan, Dean of the School of Selenium Science and Engineering Modern Industry of Wuhan University of Light Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Selenium Industry College), Professor Xu Feng, Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Yangtze University, Professor Zhu Zhenzhou, Executive Dean of the Selenium Industry College, Associate Professor Cheng Hua, Associate Professor Cai Jie, Dr.
Rao Shen, Associate Professor Li Li, Dr.
Cong Xin, Vice President of Enshi Deyuan Selenium Material Engineering Technology Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as Enshi Deyuan), and Zhu Dingxiang, Senior Engineer, R&D Director, attended the evaluation meeting
.

 

The meeting began with a speech by Hu Zhongze, director of the Science and Technology Department of Wuhan Polytechnic University, introducing the research characteristics and advantages of our university in selenium science and food science, and imploring the expert group to take a good pulse for the project results, put forward valuable opinions, and make objective evaluations to help the school further explore in the field of selenium science and produce more and better results
.

 

Zhu Zhenzhou, executive dean of Selenium Industry College, made a report on scientific and technological achievements of "Key Technologies and Applications of Cultivation and Processing utilization of Organic Selenium-rich Plants" on behalf of the project team, and introduced the project team's research on the current plant-rich organic selenium cultivation technology is not in-depth, the physiological and molecular mechanism of plant-rich organic selenium is insufficient, the research on the key nutritional quality of selenium-rich plants is lacking, the research on specific forms of organic selenium enrichment and separation purification technology is not enough, and the health efficacy evaluation of inorganic selenium-rich functional factors is not enough, and finally clarifies broccoli, The selenium-rich mechanism of kale, soybean sprouts and cowpea, and the organic selenium-rich cultivation system of the above crops was constructed, and the efficient green preparation technology of organic selenium-rich plant protein/polypeptide was established, which revealed the characteristic organic selenium form and function of selenopeptide of viola leaf crushed rice selenophore selenoprotein, and for the first time proved the role and mechanism
of metabolism and cognition.
The results of the project have been promoted and transformed in many enterprises such as Enshi Deyuan and Selenium Grain Group, and significant economic and social benefits
have been achieved.

 

After the project team report, the expert group questioned and asked questions to the project team, and put forward specific modifications to the scientific and technological achievements report and evaluation report submitted by the project team, and the project team members conducted online defenses
for the questions raised by the experts.
Finally, after discussion by the expert group, a comprehensive evaluation conclusion
was formed.

 

The results have published 35 papers, 9 authorized patents, formulated 7 standards, published 3 special editions, successfully applied in the field of functional agriculture, and the products developed have achieved significant economic benefits
.
The expert group believes that the maturity of scientific and technological achievements of the project is 9 (the highest level), the innovation degree of scientific and technological achievements is 4 (the highest level), and the technological advancement degree is 7 (the highest level), and the scientific and technological achievements of the project have reached the international leading level
in the field of selenium science and engineering as a whole.

 

It is reported that the scientific and technological achievements were jointly completed by Wuhan Polytechnic University, Yangtze University, Enshi Deyuan and Hubei Selenium Grain Group, and Wuhan Polytechnic University was the first unit
to complete.
This scientific and technological achievement is also the second achievement of the National Selenium Center to reach the international leading level in the field of selenium science and engineering after the scientific and technological achievements of "processing and utilization of key technological innovations and applications of selenium-rich edible factors of plant source" in 2021
