Industry-University-Research Collaborative Innovation Boosts the Transformation and Upgrading of Shandong Rizhao Food Enterprises

In Rizhao City, Shandong Province, an aquatic product processing enterprise applied the patented technology of the Arctic sweet shrimp processing by-products developed by Zhou Qingxin's team of the Marine Technology Department of Rizhao Vocational and Technical College (former Ocean Engineering College), from the shrimp heads and shells left after processing shrimp.

Since 2017, Rizhao Vocational and Technical College has followed the concept of "collaborative innovation, openness and sharing", created a policy environment for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the integrated development of production and education, and personnel training, and gave full play to the advantages of science and technology, education, talents, resources, etc.

New technology turns waste into treasure

Zhou Qingxin is a Ph.

Zhou Qingxin focused on the study of "the influence mechanism of micro-nano delivery system on the absorption and metabolism of Haematococcus astaxanthin ester", and solved the "three major problems" that astaxanthin application technology is insoluble in water, easy oxidative degradation and low bioavailability

"In layman's terms, it is to put a 'space suit' on the fragile astaxanthin molecule so that it can exist stably in a variety of environments, so as to play the greatest role

At present, under the leadership of Zhou Qingxin, the team has obtained a number of invention patents using this technology model

"Thanks to the transformation of scientific research results, shrimp has become a 'cornucopia'

The order-based service accurately meets the needs of enterprises

"For every project transformation, almost all companies come to them.

As early as June 2017, at the first "China University Science and Technology Achievement Fair" held by the Ministry of Education, the astaxanthin application technology of Zhou Qingxin's project team stood out from more than 6,000 projects approved by the national colleges and universities, and was selected as one of the "Ten The “Key Docking Transactions in Major Industry Fields” project was highlighted

In many cases, enterprises only put forward a vague appeal, and are not clear about "how to do it and where is the product outlet"

Over the past few years, in order to promote the international exchange of project technology and allow more domestic and foreign experts in the same industry to conduct a more accurate evaluation of astaxanthin technology, the Zhou Qingxin project team has participated in many international seminars and conducted extensive learning exchanges

At present, Zhou Qingxin's team has made new breakthroughs in molecular model research in coffee, non-dairy creamer, coconut oil, monascus pigment in ham sausage and toothpaste flavor sustained release, and the cooperation with enterprises to develop functional beverages is progressing smoothly

Continuous output of applied scientific research results

The Zhou Qingxin project team is a typical example of the applied technology R&D service system of Rizhao Vocational and Technical College

Shandong Chenya Biotechnology Co.

In addition, the school has successively established an industry-university-research collaborative innovation mechanism with Shandong Zhixin Information Technology Co.

Over the years, as one of the promoters of regional economic and social development, Rizhao Vocational and Technical College has carried out technical services and professional personnel training for the fishery and aquatic product processing industries throughout the city, and has undertaken the training of fishery technicians in Shandong Province.

It is reported that Rizhao Vocational and Technical College has cooperated with 3 national-level collaborative innovation platforms, 12 provincial-level innovation platforms, 7 municipal-level key laboratories and engineering technology centers, and 6 municipal social science research bases to carry out new technology R&D and promotion; undertake national There are 13 spark projects, more than 100 provincial and ministerial projects, and more than 2,000 horizontal technical services
