Not long ago, a team led by Associate Professor Li Yongfu of Jiangnan University developed a production method of rice specially for people with high blood sugar, and authorized Yongen Guanliang Changzhou Grain Co.

It is understood that there are more than 130 million diabetic patients in China.

According to Li Yongfu, from the current point of view, the domestic related products are mainly pasta, and there are few rice products.

In order to solve this problem, as early as 2013, Li Yongfu began to study the instantaneous high-temperature fluidization technology for improving the cooking quality of whole grains and edible beans, but at the beginning he only studied brown rice, black rice, germinated brown rice, highland barley, and edible beans.

It is understood that in the past 8 years, Li Yongfu's team has developed an original healthy staple rice industrialization technology and equipment system with the support of the "13th Five-Year" national key research and development plan sub-project

At present, Li Yongfu's team has a number of invention patent authorizations and domestic and foreign invention patent applications

Li Yongfu revealed that in the next step, the team will focus on research on special dietary foods for diabetes, so that the active ingredients are more concentrated and the product forms are more abundant, so that diabetics can eat a good meal
