Recently, it was learned from the calcium propionate manufacturer that the 25th anniversary celebration conference of Zhejiang food additives and ingredients industry association was held in Hangzhou, attended by representatives of more than 130 member units and guests from all walks of life. At present, there are more than 130 members with a sales volume of 12 billion yuan, including 10 listed enterprises, 44 high-tech enterprises and 60 enterprises with 591 patents.

Food additives are synthetic or natural substances added into food to improve food quality, color, fragrance and taste, as well as to meet the needs of antiseptic, fresh-keeping and processing technology. In the past, it used to be a non nutritive substance in food, but in recent years, food ingredients, including food additives, are not only used as food accessories.

"Natural pigment is a very good functional factor. In the early stage, we exported these additive raw materials to foreign countries. Foreign enterprises purified the most active part, developed it into medicine or health food, and then sold it back to China." Feng Fengqin, a professor in the Department of food science and nutrition of Zhejiang University, said that in addition to the processing function, some of the frequently used food additives also have good biological activity function. At present, the development and utilization of the health care function of many food additives have been paid attention to in China. At present, the application of mono - and di fatty acid glycerides as food additives in animal breeding has played a role in health care, growth promotion, substitution of antibiotics and improvement of the quality of meat and egg food, striving for a breakthrough in this new research direction.

With the products of calcium propionate, sodium propionate, sodium benzoate and benzoic acid produced by taivirun, integrated with the comprehensive innovation of process technology, equipment technology and engineering technology, it has become the leader in the industry and the leader in product quality system management. The innovative spirit of daring to think, dare to work, and dare to be the first in the world has achieved the vigorous development of food additives and ingredients.

"Food additives are the soul of the food industry. There are still many misunderstandings about this industry. It is still a process for the industry to get a correct understanding. " The industry of food additives and ingredients should be transformed, upgraded and innovated. I hope you have full confidence in this industry, and also hope that the enterprise will strictly regulate production and operation behavior, so as to improve production and quality and safety. Only when the industry is stable, can it go far. We urge producers and operators not to forget their original intention and jointly promote the high-quality development of the industry.
