ask

May I ask what content Panmai Technology brings to this forum?

Answer

At this Food Technology Innovation Forum, we, Panmai Technology, have brought our independently developed innovative generation of products-ICONSeries automatic colony counter,ICONThe series of automatic colony counters are embedded with artificial intelligence technology, which greatly improves the accuracy of colony counting and data processing speed, laying a solid foundation for ensuring food safety, improving production efficiency, and safeguarding consumer health.

Innovation is the primary driving force behind development, and the food industry is no exception. How do you view innovation in food testing technology? What work and achievements has your company made in food testing technology innovation?

Answer

I believe that food innovation, especially innovation in food safety testing technology, is an important driving force for the development of the food industry. Innovation in food safety testing technology can help companies improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of testing, continuously meeting consumers' requirements for food safety. In the future, food safety testing technology will increasingly focus on achieving high-throughput, efficient, high-precision, and intelligent testing.

As a company engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, and technical services of food safety testing instruments, we attach great importance to technological innovation, continuously improve testing technology and service quality, and are committed to providing customers with more professional, comprehensive, efficient, and reliable food safety testing products and services. We have done a lot of work in the innovation of food safety testing technology, including the following points:

1. Introducing fully automated colony screening equipment to improve accuracy and efficiency:We have purchased a fully automated colony screening and selection workstation, which has achieved high-throughput, high-precision, and fast sample colony screening, playing an important role in functional foods such as probiotics and intestinal microbiota.

2. Introduce and promote the cultivation of anaerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms&Operation technology: We introduced it from the UKELECTROTEKAnaerobic and microaerophilic cultivation techniques and operating systems can cultivate, operate, and study anaerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms in the intestine, providing favorable conditions for the development of functional foods such as probiotics.

3. Promote intelligent recognition technology to improve work efficiency:We have independently developed an automatic colony counter that combines artificial intelligence technology with image recognition technology and achieves machine self-learning, greatly improving the work efficiency and reliability of detection data for experimental operators. This is of great significance for ensuring food quality and preventing foodborne diseases.

ask

Big health has always been a hot topic in the food industry. Driven by the market, both traditional and emerging food industries are moving towards big health+How do you view the development direction of this phenomenon? What insights do you have on the future development trends of the industry?

Answer

The emergence of the concept of big health is gradually rising with the improvement of people's health awareness and the development of the health industry, aiming to improve people's physical health through means such as food, medicine, medical equipment, etc. The big health industry realizes the effective connection of the health industry chain, organically combining a series of industries such as traditional healthcare, food, and health products, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry.

In the market, consumers' demand for health is increasing and gradually becoming a basic concern in daily life. The combination of diet and health has led to the emergence of the concept of healthy eating, which has become an important component of overall health. The food industry is naturally being led towards the direction of big health. Traditional food companies vigorously advocate the healthy eating concept of "low-fat, low sugar, low salt, high fiber" in product research and brand promotion, while emerging food companies use technological means to develop good healthy foods, including high protein, low-fat, natural organic and other modes.

In the future, big health will become a key engine for the sustainable development of the food industry. Market demand is an important driving force for enterprise innovation and development. With the aging population, growth in the healthcare and health product markets, and improvement in health literacy in China, the big health industry is bound to have strong market potential. Therefore, food companies need to strengthen technological innovation and research and development, improve from functionality to health, and create more products that meet market demand. In addition, consumers are increasingly valuing the natural and organic nature of food, and are also trying to closely follow traditional natural farming methods in food raw materials and green production, so that more food can be produced in an ecological and sustainable way, opening up broader space for the future development of the food industry.

ICONThe automatic colony counter has a minimalist software interface that does not require additional settings and allows for one click counting. We also customize a dedicated colony morphology library for microbiology laboratory usersICONThe core of it integrates a database of various colony attributes, allowing it to automatically compare the morphology of colonies in the library when encountering difficult to identify colonies. uniqueAIIntelligent recognition allows him to autonomously learn difficult to recognize bacterial colonies, making it easy to deal with a large number of complex colonies with a higher degree of automation. Moreover, the counting is accurate and reliable, with an accuracy rate exceeding95%The analysis results can be verified and sample information can be retained, which can save a lot of manpower and time, making colony counting simpler and more efficient.
