Professor Wang Zhao of Institute of Biomedicine of our hospital was invited to attend the special food industry development forum and make a conference report
The importance of food to human health is self-evident. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had the tradition of "combining medicine with food". "Eaters are the lifeblood of human beings" is a high summary of the health effects of dietary nutrition made by Li Shizhen, a medical giant in the Ming Dynasty. The World Health Organization (WHO) in recent years on the impact of human health factors assessment results also show that the impact of dietary nutrition factors (13%) second only to the first genetic factors (15%), far higher than the role of medical factors (only 8%). The concept of "combination of medical care and nursing care" is being accepted and recognized by more and more medical and nutritional professionals. In the world, when the disease comes to take treatment, and supplemented by special food as nutritional support, is becoming the consensus of clinical medicine. Special dietary food is such a kind of food. Through scientific and reasonable nutritional formula, some physiological deviations of the target population can be appropriately corrected, or combined with drugs to assist disease treatment and accelerate the recovery of human body function. This method has been in the medical system. Play an increasingly important role.
With the introduction of formula food for special medical purposes as "special food" by the newly revised Food Safety Law and the promulgation of the measures for the Registration and Administration of formula food for special medical purposes and the quality Management Standard for clinical trials of formula food for special medical purposes, the gradual improvement of relevant policies and regulations has provided a solid foundation for the development of formula food industry for special medical purposes. At present, the global market size of formula food for special medical purposes is 560-64 billion yuan, growing at a rate of 6% per year. Although China's special medical formula food market has developed rapidly in the past few years, with an average growth rate of 37% according to reports, it is still in the initial stage of development. Compared with the systematic research and standardization of enteral nutrition supplement products in developed countries since the 1980 s, the development of formula food for special medical purposes in China needs to be further accelerated, especially the influence of special food on the micro ecological environment of digestive tract should be studied quickly.
In order to further promote the development of special dietary foods and formula foods for special medical purposes, promote technological innovation in the industry, and better protect human health and improve the quality of life, the "Special Food Industry Development and Quality Safety Seminar" co-sponsored by Hebei Food Inspection and Research Institute, Beijing Food Science Research Institute, and China Food Magazine "Food Science" magazine was successfully held in Shijiazhuang, Hebei from November 17th to 18th. The conference conducted in-depth discussions on major theoretical research in food science and nutrition health, such as research results, clinical and nutritional applications, functional components and academic evaluation, food safety and toxicology, microbiology, immunology, etc. of special dietary foods and formula foods for special medical purposes, exchanged and learned from foreign experience, and shared relevant policies and management norms, for the majority of special dietary food, special medical use formula food research workers and producers to provide new ideas, pointed out the direction of development.
Special Food Industry Development and Quality Safety Seminar Held in Shijiazhuang
Professor Wang Zhao, director of the Institute of Biomedicine and equipment (hereinafter referred to as "Institute of Biomedicine") of Tianjin High-end equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University (hereinafter referred to as "High-end Institute"), was invited to give a conference report entitled "Oral Flora and Oral Health" at the forum, and focused on the special dietary "Xiangjincheese" anti-caries ready-to-eat food jointly developed by the Institute of Biomedicine and related enterprises. Professor Wang Zhao introduced that the World Health Organization has listed dental caries, cancer and cardiovascular disease as the three major chronic non-communicable diseases for human prevention and treatment. Dental caries (mainly the insect teeth of children and the elderly) is a disease of chronic progressive destruction of dental hard tissue under the influence of many factors dominated by bacteria. It occurs under the joint action of host, bacteria, food and time. In severe cases, it will develop into pulpitis, periapical inflammation, even cysts and may cause other local or systemic diseases, it seriously affects the quality of life. Oral diseases are significantly related to systemic or chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, premature birth, etc., especially deciduous tooth caries, which may cause children's systemic symptoms and affect growth and development. Lead to malocclusion and affect the healthy growth of children's physiology and psychology. About 3.9 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, and untreated permanent tooth caries affects 35% of the world's population. The fourth national oral epidemiological survey in my country shows that the caries rate of permanent teeth in 12-year-old children is 34.5, compared with 10 years ago. An increase of 7.8 percentage points. The caries rate of deciduous teeth in 5-year-old children is 70.9, which is 5.8 percentage points higher than that of 10 years ago. The caries rate of children in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas. It can be seen that dental caries is harmful, the population has a high caries rate, and the treatment rate is low. Like cancer and cardiovascular diseases, dental caries also has the characteristics of good prevention effect, small pain in early treatment, small damage, and low cost. Therefore, the prevention and early treatment of caries is particularly important.
The novelty search report of Xiangjin cheese indicates that no similar product report has been seen so far.
The formula and process of fragrant gold cheese products have applied for relevant patents.
The human mouth is colonized by more than 600 different microbial species, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycoplasma and chlamydia, which are collectively referred to as the oral flora. The oral microbiome is one of the five major bacterial reservoirs in the human body (gut, mouth, skin, nasal cavity, and urogenital tract), and in most cases only a few bacteria are maintained at high levels while others are at relatively low levels. The oral flora is mainly composed of Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Prexella, Veryonella, Cocci, Actinomyces, Neisseria, and some changes in the abundance of teeth, hard palate, tongue back, buccal mucosa, palatine tonsil, saliva and other different positions.
Oral flora has the following characteristics:
- complex types;
- Multi-level and multi-locus distribution;
- Age and pressure of dentition turnover;
- with inter-individual differences;
- With the relative stability of the individual: the difference of the oral microbiome in the same individual at different time points is significantly lower than that of the intestinal tract, skin and other parts;
- Related to genetic background: the similarity of oral microbiome between identical twins was higher than that between fraternal twins;
- It is closely related to oral and systemic diseases.
Based on some of the above scientific research results, our institute and related enterprises have developed a finalized "Xiangjin Cheese" anti-caries ready-to-eat food as a whole ingredient formula, which can provide balanced nutrition while efficiently inhibiting oral acid-producing cariogenic bacteria. Its main mechanisms include:
- Natural ingredients contain polysaccharide, can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, prevent the formation of dental plaque, prevent the occurrence of dental caries;
- Contains a source of vitamin D, can be converted into vitamin D, after eating a great help to dental health;
- Contains a large number of crude fiber, including cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose and horny ingredients, after eating can balance the pH of the mouth;
- Contains calcium and phosphate, regular consumption can increase the surface of the teeth of calcium, is conducive to strengthening and reconstruction of enamel, strong teeth;
- Containing sulfur compounds and monoterpene compounds is a strong antibacterial component, can kill a variety of bacteria, which can kill the oral acid-producing Streptococcus mutans.
The toxicological test of the authority shows that the product has no toxic side effects and is safe and reliable. The core consumer target population of this product is more than 20 million people. Through appropriate marketing operations, it will bring health to high-risk groups of dental caries and reduce medical expenditures, while bringing huge economic and social benefits to investors.
