Recently, Yantai Shuangta Food Co., Ltd. has achieved another key breakthrough in its journey toward high-quality development, as yet another protein technology has been granted a national invention patent. This achievement not only marks a new milestone in the company’s R&D capabilities in the field of advanced processing of plant proteins, but also underscores its unwavering commitment to continuously deepening its focus on scientific and technological innovation and leading the industry toward higher-quality development.

　　Master patented technologies and strengthen the foundation for development.

　　As a leader in the domestic plant-protein industry, Shuangta Food has consistently placed technological innovation at the heart of its development, establishing a technology innovation system characterized by “R&D as the core, market orientation, and deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application.” In recent years, the company’s patented inventions have achieved a leap-forward development—from isolated breakthroughs to clustered outputs. Each patent embodies the company’s accumulated technological expertise and innovative breakthroughs in core areas such as plant proteins and starch.

　　As of now, Shuangta Food has obtained 72 authorized patents, including 20 invention patents, and has successfully undertaken the Shandong Province Patent Navigation Project. Moreover, the company has been awarded invention patent certificates in multiple countries, including China, the United States, Canada, and Belgium, thereby establishing an internationalized portfolio of independent intellectual property rights. These patented achievements not only provide the company with robust technological barriers and significantly enhance its product market competitiveness but also serve as a model and leader within the industry, strongly driving China’s plant-protein sector to shift from “scale expansion” to “quality enhancement.”

　　Driven by technological innovation, forging core strengths.

　　To break the bottlenecks in the development of the traditional food industry and enhance market competitiveness, Shuangta Food has proactively embraced innovative thinking, taking the cultivation and development of new-quality productivity as its key driver. Building on its established leading position in the traditional starch noodle industry, the company has integrated innovation into every aspect of its development strategy and is fully committed to opening up new growth avenues for the industry. Today, emerging industries such as pea protein and protein peptides are rapidly gaining momentum, while forward-looking sectors like digital intelligence and health-focused foods continue to deepen their strategic positioning. Through a “product diversification + chain-based development” model, Shuangta Food has successfully forged robust capabilities for high-quality development.

　　Currently, the “1+N” circular economic development model—built through corporate innovation—has enabled the full-chain value extraction from a single soybean: starting from the production and processing of single soybean flour, by extending, complementing, and strengthening industrial chains, it has fostered a positive synergy among industries such as protein, starch, fiber, and edible mushrooms, thereby paving the way for Shuangta Food to steadily expand its foothold in building a new high ground for core competitiveness.

　　Behind these achievements lies Shuangta Food’s unwavering commitment to technological innovation. The company has consistently regarded technological innovation as its “primary driving force.” On the one hand, it actively recruits top talent from both domestic and international sources, building a high-caliber R&D team. On the other hand, it deepens its collaboration with universities, research institutes, and academicians Sun Baoguo and Ren Fazheng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, along with their respective teams. Relying on cutting-edge, high-level scientific research capabilities, the company leads independent innovation, pools global expertise to unlock the full potential of the pea industry, and achieves breakthroughs in several critical, advanced technologies.

　　Leveraging its robust innovation capabilities, Shuangta Food has successively undertaken major national and provincial-level projects, including the National Torch Program, the National Science and Technology Support Program, and the Shandong Province Key R&D Program. The company has established provincial-level innovation platforms such as the Shandong Provincial Enterprise Technology Center, the Academician Workstation, the Shandong Provincial Engineering Laboratory, and the Shandong Province “One Enterprise, One Technology” R&D Center. It has repeatedly won the First Prize for Technological Innovation in Shandong Province, with numerous technologies reaching internationally advanced levels, providing solid support for breaking through key technologies in the deep-processing industry of peas and achieving global leadership.

　　Looking ahead, Shuangta Food will anchor itself to a new blueprint for high-quality development, continuously increase R&D investment, deepen the collaborative innovation mechanism among industry, academia, and research institutions, and focus on tackling key technological challenges in the field of advanced processing of plant proteins, striving to generate more high-quality innovative achievements. With technology as its brush and innovation as its ink, the company will keep empowering industrial upgrades and injecting stronger momentum into the high-quality development of China’s food industry.
