On the morning of April 1st, 2018 Food Nutrition and Bioactive Substance Health Function Seminar was held at International Academic Exchanges Center of HZAU. The seminar was organized by the research team of food chemical components and nutrition delivery system team, which was headed by Prof. Li Bin from College of Food Science & Technology, HZAU. Mr. Jiang Zhengqiang, professor of China Agricultural University, presided over the Seminar.
At the beginning of the seminar, Jiang Zhengqiang suggested that all research teams should actively share their research progress and achievement. Food Nutrition and Bioactive Substance Health Function Research is a special project of the national key research and development program Modern Food Processing and Grain Collection, Storage and Transportation Technology and Equipment. The seminar aimed at further regulating the implementation of this special project and promoting its smooth performance.

During the seminar, 30 research teams nationwide introduced the latest research progress in fields of cell autophagy, new protein machine, food nanotechnology, simulated moving bed, nutrient health database building and etc. Among the research teams, more than 50 participants made presentations including some prominent scholars like Jiang Zhengqiang, Zhao Mouming, Chen Yongquan, Fang Yapeng, Nie Shaoping and Wang Shujun.
The main body of the seminar consisted of reports from all research teams and their sub-research teams. The heads of the research teams delivered reports respectively. Prof. Tang Chuanhe from South China University of Technology analyzed the nutrient and health function mechanism of protein and its hydrolysate. Then, Prof. Nie Shaoping from Nanchang Univeristy reported the progress in projects like the multi-scale structure characterization of carbohydrate. He highlighted that his research team had collected 46 mollusks polysaccharides data to build the database and had analyzed the active polysaccharide nutritive nutritional components and antioxidant activity of beans including 26 varieties of kidney beans and 24 of cowpeas. There followed reports introducing the use of funds, paper publication and its project mark in research teams of oil and food components interaction respectively by Prof. Chen Yongquan from Jiangnan University, and Prof. Wang Shujun from Tianjin University of Science & Technology. At last, Prof. Li Xiuting from Beijing Technology and Business University displayed achievements in food components digestion, absorption and metabolism. Li also stressed that indicator determination in “products and origin attribute of bulk food raw material” remained a pressing problem.
Then came the 4-hour reports from all sub-research teams on their tasks and results. Prof. Li bin summarized the research development in the interaction between Konjac Glucomannan and tannic acid. After all reports presented, Jiang Zhengqiang made a research performance review. The scholars had an in-depth discussion on data collection in database building of food components. And some scholars proposed that more small-scale exchanges and more frequent seminars would be conducive to the project implementation.
At the end of the seminar, Li Bin gave a closing remark. He praised the academic progress and research assessment method in all research teams. Meanwhile, he pointed out that the seminar served the needs of the time ─ nutrient and healthy food. By enhancing the contacts and exchanges among research teams, the seminar played a guiding role in the implementation of research and would boost the development of the national key program.
