Tridge summary
The "Food Conservation Action Plan" issued by the Central Office and the State Council recently clearly stated that it is necessary to increase the conversion rate of grain processing, improve the digital management level of the grain processing industry, develop the whole grain industry, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of grain resources, and save food in the processing link. Effectiveness. The processing link is one of the heavier food losses and wastes. According to estimates, China’s grain processing losses amount to 15 billion jin every year. Sun Hui, chief engineer of the Academy of Sciences of the State Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves, believes that consumption concepts are lagging behind and finished products Over-processing of grain, insufficient promotion of new concepts and technologies, irregular processing technology, and low utilization of processing by-products are important reasons for the loss of grain processing. The transition from excessive processing to moderate processing has increased with the improvement of living standards. Consumers once fell into the misunderstanding of excessively pursuing "polished rice and white flour, refined staple food". Food processing companies have over-processed in order to cater to the market. Data shows that China currently supplies more than 90% of polished rice and more than 70% of fine noodles. %, the market share of products such as wheat core flour and snowflake flour with higher processing accuracy is also expanding. "Excessive pursuit of polished rice and white flour will not only lose a lot of dietary fiber, vitamins and other nutrients, but also increase energy consumption. Water and electricity resources are wasted and the output rate of finished grains is reduced. Long-term consumption of polished rice and white noodles may also cause'hidden hunger' caused by the lack of nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, which is a potential risk to the health of residents." Sun Hui said .

The "Food Conservation Action Plan" issued by the Central Office and the State Council a few days ago clearly stated that it is necessary to increase the conversion rate of food processing, improve the digital management level of the food processing industry, develop the whole grain industry, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of food resources, and save food in the processing link. Effective. The processing link is one of the heavier food losses and waste. According to estimates, my country’s grain processing losses are estimated to reach 15 billion jin every year. Sun Hui, chief engineer of the Academy of Sciences of the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, believes that the consumption concept is lagging behind and the finished grain is excessive. Prominent processing problems, insufficient promotion of new concepts and technologies, irregular processing techniques, and low utilization of processing by-products are important reasons for the loss of grain ...
