On November 18, the "2022 China Dairy Science and Technology and High-quality Development Seminar - Dairy Process Technology Innovation Forum", hosted by the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology and supported by Yili Group, was held
online.
Experts and scholars from all over the country and representatives of the food industry gathered in the "cloud" to discuss food science and cutting-edge technologies at home and abroad, aiming to better meet the needs of people's better life and promote the development of
food industry and science and technology.

The meeting invited Xie Mingyong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and vice president of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology, and Ai Lianzhong, dean of the School of Health Science and Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Sun Baoguo, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology, and Yun Zhanyou, assistant to the president of Yili Group, to deliver speeches, 8 authoritative experts in the field of science and technology and industry on membrane filtration technology, new technology of functional milk ingredient processing, milk protein retention technology, sensory flavor technology, quality control technology, Dr.
Hou Zhanqun, senior engineer of Yili Group, also shared Yili's product innovation report
based on process technology innovation to meet the nutritional and health needs of the population.

During the meeting, Yili used China's food field, a large-scale and influential annual scientific and technological exchange platform, to focus on the breakthrough innovation achievements in the field of food technology and won high praise
from the participants.
As Academician Sun Baoguo said in his speech, with the development and growth of the dairy industry, a large number of local enterprises are meeting the nutritional needs of consumers with diversified product structures and personalized product forms, which is the epitome
of the deep cultivation of dairy companies in the field of science and technology.

Dairy industry is an important industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, the Party Central Committee and the state attach great importance to dairy science and technology innovation, as a famous dairy enterprise in China, Yili is guided by the goal of "comprehensive value leadership", firmly innovation-driven development, gathers global excellent scientific research forces to carry out all-round innovation research, and continues to promote the high-quality development
of the industry with more cutting-edge technology research results in the food industry.

Integrate global wisdom and build a global innovation network

At present, nutritious dairy products are favored by more and more people, and China's dairy consumption market has shown a vigorous development trend
.
Facing the new challenges and new needs of food technology innovation and development, Yili focused on the key areas of international dairy R&D, integrated R&D resources at home and abroad, laid out a global innovation network covering the world's leading R&D institutions from a global perspective, carried out innovation cooperation in the whole industry chain, and achieved fruitful practical results
.

Currently, Yili has 15 innovation centers
around the world.
At the same time, the National Dairy Technology Innovation Center led by Yili has developed a number of advanced technical achievements, such as a new nutritional regulation technology for dairy cows that can achieve an average daily yield of more than 41 kg, and the preparation technology of whey protein concentrate, the core raw material of infant formula
.

Strengthen full-chain collaboration and promote industry innovation and development

The dairy industry spans the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and has the core industrial pulling role
of "one industry prosperous, many industries prosperous".
Under the background of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and the vigorous rise of industrial transformation, China's dairy industry must give full play to industrial synergy and promote the combination of innovative technological achievements with national needs, people's requirements and market demand, so as to better grasp the pulse of
the times.
Over the years, under the guidance of innovative thinking, Yili has established an innovation system covering the entire industrial chain of the upstream, middle and downstream, continuously promoting the technological innovation of the whole chain, promoting the innovation and development of the industry, driving the common growth of the entire industrial chain, and achieving mutual benefit and win-win
results.

In the upstream, Yili built a smart farm and developed a series of functional raw milk through a three-dimensional, fine and efficient nutrient measurement system; Regulate the fat protein ratio of raw milk to optimize nutrition and taste
.
In the midstream, Yili upgraded its smart factory and applied enzymatic milk fat flavoring biotechnology to reduce product fat; Reduce the added sugar content of products through digital sweetness design platform technology; The double-membrane fresh-lock pasteurization process was used to achieve full retention of active substances; The application of high-barrier packaging technology escorts the preservation and sustainable development of dairy products in China
.
In the downstream, Yili carries out research on the nutritional needs of consumers throughout the life cycle, and applies its results in product development, such as Xinhuo adult milk powder, soothing lactose-free milk, and grain multi-milk
.

Anchor scientific and technological innovation and promote the transformation of technological achievements

Since the beginning of this year, the state has vigorously called for the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, strengthened the main position of enterprise innovation, and continued to promote key technology research
.
For the dairy industry, which is in the critical period of industrial development from "big to strong", promoting the research and development of new dairy products and technologies is the general trend
of achieving scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in the new journey.
Adhering to the concept of "no innovation, no future", Yili continues to increase investment in innovation, carry out dairy technology research and development and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and make technological achievements benefit the whole industry and benefit more consumers
.

In the past five years, Yili has undertaken more than 30 major science and technology projects and various science and technology projects of the state and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, continuously improving the independent innovation ability
of the dairy industry.
For example, Yili integrates innovation in ultrafiltration process technology to optimize key ingredients such as protein, calcium, and fat in recombinant milk, so as to realize the "one cup of milk, twice the nutrition" of Jindian ultrafiltration, and provide consumers with more scientific nutritional supplements
.
As of early December 2021, Yili's total number of global patent applications and invention applications ranked second among the world's top ten dairy industries in 2021, becoming an innovation highland leading the revitalization of
the dairy industry.

Innovation is the driving force
for development.
In the future, Yili will rely on its excellent talent team and innovation resources, continue to explore innovative dairy technologies, create health products that meet the needs of the whole population, the whole life cycle and all consumption scenarios, contribute to the construction of "Healthy China", and let the world share health
