Soy Milk Industry Ushers in New Opportunities for Development

     With the continuous promotion of health and nutrition needs, the food industry has ushered in new opportunities for industrial restructuring. On March 1, "Two Cups of Milk per Day - Healthy Double Protein 2022 China Soy Milk Industry Nutrition and Health Development Forum", initiated by China Food Industry Association, jointly organized by National Public Nutrition Improvement Project Office and National Food and Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation Center, and co-organized by Daley Food Group, was held in Beijing. "was held in Beijing.

     Experts at the conference comprehensively interpreted the current nutritional situation of Chinese residents and further clarified the importance of soy milk industry for national dietary health.

National dietary structure is unreasonable

Increasing plant protein intake is the top priority

　　Zhang Zhiqiang, former deputy director of the Department of Food Safety Standards and Monitoring and Evaluation of the National Health and Welfare Commission and former deputy director of the Office of the National Steering Committee for National Nutrition and Health, pointed out that the current nutrition problem of the nationals has changed from deficiency to excess, and the unscientific and unreasonable dietary structure is the main factor causing excess nutrition.

　　Dr. Li Yu, Chief Engineer of the China Food Industry Association and Chairman of the Working Committee on Food Safety Standards and Regulations, suggested that the problem of unbalanced national nutrition is now more prominent and has become a new issue for the development of the food industry.

　　Relevant data show that the national soy protein intake is not optimistic under the premise of adequate animal protein intake. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016) points out that the recommended daily per capita intake of 25-35 grams of soybeans and soybean products, but in fact the current per capita intake level is less than half of the recommended amount, in a more serious imbalance.

　　Checking the gaps should be the direction of adjustment of national nutrition intake, and precisely increasing the intake of plant protein is the top priority.

Yu Xiaodong, director of the National Public Nutrition Improvement Program Office and chairman of the China Health Industry Alliance, believes that beans have a role to play in meeting the requirements of higher quality health and nutritional balance at different levels. Soy milk, as a refined product that meets modern consumption habits and needs, and has given birth to high-value brands such as Douban Dou, is a high-quality choice for achieving a healthy diet.

The rise of the plant trend

Dual-protein nutritional advantages come to the fore

　　Why has plant-based food, especially soy milk, become the choice of the healthy era? Chen Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Center for Future Food Science at Jiangnan University, said that plant-based foods, which replace animal proteins with plant proteins as the main means, have become a trendy lifestyle for consumers based on the pursuit of personal health and concern for global ecology. "Compared to animal milk, plant milk has obvious advantages such as low calorie, low fat and high dietary fiber."

　　Soy milk, as an important part of plant milk, has many unique and desirable features. Researcher Huang Jian, deputy director of the Food Science and Technology Department of the Institute of Nutrition and Health at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, pointed out that the digestibility of soybeans in whole grain form is low due to fiber encapsulation and other problems, but the digestibility and absorption rate can be greatly improved when processed into soy milk (soy milk), tofu or soy protein isolate, especially the absorption rate of soy milk can reach 75 percent.

　　On this basis, the combination of "soy milk and milk" is gradually being emphasized. Wang Jing, director of the National Center for Food and Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation, Institute of Food and Nutrition Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, has systematically analyzed the nutritional advantages of "soy milk and milk". Therefore, soy milk as a typical representative of soy protein and plant protein food, for national nutrition and health is of great significance.

　　Zhang Zhiqiang said that the integration of health business and food industry can give birth to new business mode and new model of health industry. In the national nutrition plan proposed at the national level, it is especially proposed to take high-quality plant protein as the main nutritional base and carry out the double protein project, while soy milk
