Recently, the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology released the "Announcement on the List of Shandong Province's 'One Enterprise, One Technology' R&D Centers for 2025." Yantai Shuangta Food Co., Ltd., with its profound technical accumulation and multiple key core technology breakthroughs in the field of deep processing of pea protein, was successfully recognized as a provincial-level 'One Enterprise, One Technology' R&D center. This honor is a high recognition of the company's comprehensive strength in talent teams, innovation capabilities, and industry-university-research collaboration.

　　Technology Leads the Era of Change

　　On the road of innovation, Shuangta Food has achieved remarkable results. With continuous R&D investment and relentless innovation efforts, the company has made significant breakthroughs in multiple key technology fields. The company has undertaken several major national and provincial scientific research projects, among which four technologies have filled gaps in the domestic high-value application of protein, mastering the core key technologies of protein extraction, greatly enhancing the core competitiveness of the Shuangta brand in the global market.

　　The approval to undertake two key R&D projects of Shandong Province is a strong proof. In the project "Key Technologies and Applications for Efficient Preparation of Food-specific Resistant Starch," Shuangta Food, in collaboration with the Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jiangnan University, and other research institutions, overcame domestic challenges such as low preparation efficiency and poor processing applicability of resistant starch. They established an integrated research route covering the entire chain from preparation to end-product development. This achievement is expected to trigger a new revolution in the starch industry and promote the transformation and upgrading of grain enterprises towards the nutrition and health food industry.

　　In addition, relying on technological innovation and supported by 62 patents, the company continuously expands its product boundaries. From traditional vermicelli production, it has gradually extended to diversified product fields such as starch, protein, fiber, and edible fungi, forming a unique "1+N" circular economy industrial chain. This chain covers products like plant-based protein meat, plant milk, and protein peptides, continuously enhancing product added value and standing out in market competition.

　　Integration of Industry, Academia, and Research Promotes Development

　　Shuangta Food deeply understands the importance of deep integration of industry, academia, and research for enterprise development, actively establishing long-term and stable cooperative relationships with multiple universities and research institutions, building an integrated ecosystem of industry, academia, research, and application.

　　The company has an academician workstation led by Academician Sun Baoguo of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and conducts comprehensive cooperation in the field of pea nutrition and health with the team led by Academician Ren Fazheng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. It also collaborates with Jiangnan University, Jinan University, Shandong University of Technology, and other universities in multiple research fields such as plant protein preparation technology, deep processing of vermicelli, and resource utilization of waste. Leveraging cutting-edge scientific research achievements and professional talent resources from universities and research institutions, the company achieves new breakthroughs in key core technologies across various fields of pea products.

　　Through industry-academia-research cooperation, Shuangta Food not only gains strong support in technology R&D but also provides a broad platform for talent cultivation. University students and researchers accumulate rich practical experience by participating in company projects and are more likely to join Shuangta Food after graduation, continuously injecting fresh blood into the company. Meanwhile, the company's industrial practice offers transformation scenarios for university research achievements, forming a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. This strongly promotes the development of the company's whole-bean ecological strategy and facilitates the successful transformation from a traditional food enterprise to a high-tech, intelligent enterprise.

　　Professional Team Builds Strong Strength

　　Shuangta Food has a highly professional, well-structured, and experienced R&D team, which is the backbone of the company's continuous innovation and breakthroughs in the food field. Zhang Shucheng, the Deputy General Manager of R&D, who is a graduate supervisor at China Agricultural University and Deputy Director of the Shandong Nutrition Society, leads the team with his profound academic background and rich industry experience, continuously researching in multiple industry fields such as vermicelli, starch, and protein. Team members cover almost all product lines of the company, possessing solid professional knowledge and keen insight into industry trends.

　　At the same time, Shuangta Food actively provides growth space for high-end talents. By recruiting high-level technical talents, the company further optimizes the talent team structure, bringing new vitality and innovative thinking to the team, comprehensively enhancing the company's technical level and overall competitiveness.

　　Moreover, the company is equipped with various advanced R&D equipment and experimental platforms, from precision testing instruments to professional experimental devices, providing a solid hardware foundation for R&D work. This enables the team to have full-chain capabilities from technology development to achievement transformation, ensuring that every innovative idea can be efficiently converted into practical results.

　　In the future, Shuangta Food will take this approval as a provincial-level 'One Enterprise, One Technology' R&D center as a new starting point, continue to increase efforts in technological innovation, deepen industry-academia-research integration, continuously improve the whole-bean ecological strategy layout, empower the company's high-quality development, and contribute greater strength to the industry's development.
