The story of Jilin Agricultural University Liu Junmei's team "steaming steamed buns with bean dregs"

July 19 is the midsummer

As a professor at the School of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, this "kitchen" is Liu Junmei's research base

According to the "Report on Nutrition and Chronic Disease Status of Chinese Residents (2020)", more than half of Chinese adults are overweight or obese

From "eating well" to "eating well" to "eating healthy", it reflects the continuous improvement of people's living standards, which is also the starting point and end point of the "big food concept"

As a scientific research worker on the black soil, Liu Junmei's team is moving forward to this goal down-to-earth; and technology empowerment also promotes the continuous extension of Jilin's agricultural industry chain, bringing vitality to rural revitalization

What technological content can a steamed bun have?

According to statistics, the annual output of wet bean dregs in China is nearly 20 million tons - this is not a small number

Traditionally, okara is often used as feed or discarded due to poor taste, short shelf life, and difficulty in processing

In Liu Junmei's eyes, bean dregs are not "waste"

In order to "turn waste into treasure", Liu Junmei and colleagues formed a team with the goal of using wet bean dregs as raw material and processing it into "low GI value soybean dietary fiber steamed bread"

"What technological content can a steamed bun have?" There are not a lot of doubts like this

"It doesn't sound good, but it's really hard to do,

In addition, bean dregs have more fiber and strong water absorption

In the end, they used specific strains for fermentation to solve the problem of low dissolution rate and utilization rate of bean dregs protein; they solved the problem of collapse by adding nutrients and healthy accessories

The steamed bread produced in this way has a special aroma and delicate taste, and the flour content is only about 50%, and the GI value is as low as 40

In 2021, this scientific and technological achievement was successfully transformed into production in Jilin Shaoguo Bean Products Co.

　　Encouraged by this, Liu Junmei's team continued to use bean dregs as raw materials, and developed a series of products such as plant meat and bean fiber biscuits with strong satiety, which have accumulated for the subsequent transformation of scientific and technological achievements

　　"Mr.
Liu has brought us real benefits"

　　"Doing scientific research is not about steaming buns and baking biscuits" "I don't admire you even if you make 100 million yuan".
.
.
Such cold words once made Liu Junmei very sad
.

　　Is the road to industrialization of scientific research results wrong? The answer must be no
.

　　Under the boundless Changbai Mountains, there are countless resources of ginseng, deer antlers, frogs and various fungi; the northeast is surrounded by vast black land, high-quality corn, grains and soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and plains, all enrich the people's dining table and improve the people's diet structure.
A healthier "baby"
.

　　However, how can farmers and cooperatives make profits if they simply sell primary agricultural products? How can the industry achieve high-quality development?

　　"Mr.
Liu has brought us real benefits
," said Ding Haojie, chairman of the Senyang Agricultural Professional Cooperative in Jilin Province
.
Their greenhouse is located in Dayingzi Township, Shuangyang District, Changchun City.
They used to grow oyster mushrooms, but the income was not good because of the disease
.
Later, they planted sprouts with the help of Liu Junmei
.

　　"Sprouts not only sell well, but the market cycle is as long as 10 months.
Compared with vegetables and fruits, the average income of each greenhouse can increase by more than 10,000 yuan a year
.
" Ding Haojie said
.
They have identified Liu Junmei's technology, and have successfully trial-produced tartary buckwheat sprout health tea, which is ready to be introduced to the market
.

　　"For agricultural products, profits can only come from technology!" Liu Junmei said decisively, "Thesis should be written on the dining table of ordinary people, creating value for farmers and enterprises, not locked in a filing cabinet
.
"

　　Her idea was firmly supported by Jilin Agricultural University
.
"The school has made great efforts in 'breaking the four uniques', 'unbinding' teachers in multiple dimensions such as professional title evaluation and project benefit, and encourages teachers like Liu Junmei to let go of their hands and feet to transfer and transform their achievements
.
" Jilin Agricultural University Science and Technology Promotion and Social Services Li Youbao, director of the center, said
.

　　Her achievements have been recognized by a well-known incubator in Jilin Province
.
With the help of the latter, Liu Junmei's scientific research results have been transformed into products: easy-to-store, high-nutrient mushroom sauce, ready-to-eat Tremella chips, crispy low-calorie buckwheat sprout biscuits.
.
.

　　At the same time, Liu Junmei also appeared more on the stage of the entrepreneurship and innovation competition as an entrepreneur
.
The transformation of achievements and scientific research have formed a positive interaction.
She has presided over a number of major national and provincial scientific research projects, and has successively won the Jilin Provincial Natural Science Award and the Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, and has more than 30 patents in her hands
.

　　Today, in the School of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, there are more than 100 teachers and students who have carried out the transformation of scientific and technological achievements like Liu Junmei
.
They use the results of their own research and development to truly empower the characteristic resources of Changbai Mountain
