Autumn comes, when the heat gradually dissipates, it's time to pick medlar autumn fruits. Lycium barbarum has high nutritional value. It is a fruit with both medicine and food.
Autumn comes, when the heat gradually dissipates, it's time to pick medlar autumn fruits. Lycium barbarum has high nutritional value. It is a fruit with both medicine and food. With the continuous development of the nutritional value of Lycium barbarum, Lycium barbarum is processed into various foods, beverages, health products and so on. Today, the wolfberry market continues to expand, and the wolfberry intensive processing equipment has become a new driving force for industrial development.

It is understood that the planting area of Lycium barbarum in China has continued to expand in recent two years. From the total amount of Chinese wolfberry industry, the total output of Chinese wolfberry in 2013 was 263500 tons, which increased to 344800 tons in 2017. Relevant institutions predict that in 2020, the planting area of Chinese wolfberry will reach 213300 hectares, and the output of Chinese wolfberry dry fruit will exceed 500000 tons. The sales of medlar related products will also remain at about 12%, and the industrial sales will reach 20 billion yuan in 2020.

When it comes to Lycium barbarum, many people will think of dried Lycium barbarum. Dried Lycium barbarum accounts for a large part of the Lycium barbarum industry, and it is also one of the Lycium barbarum foods we have more contact with in our life. With the development of drying technology, natural drying has been gradually eliminated, and automatic drying equipment is more and more used in Lycium barbarum processing industry. Compared with natural drying, automatic drying equipment has higher output and shorter processing time. At the same time, due to the high degree of automation of drying equipment and low degree of manual participation, it can better ensure food safety.

Although the wide application of drying equipment greatly promotes the mechanization process of Lycium barbarum industry, it also brings some problems, such as product homogenization, profit decline and so on. In order to jump out of the homogenization "wall", some enterprises began to focus on improving the content of product processing technology, and the introduction of vacuum freeze-drying technology is one of them.

Vacuum freeze-drying technology is to freeze the water in the material into a solid state, and directly lift the solid water into a gaseous state in the vacuum environment, so as to achieve the purpose of drying the material. Compared with conventional thermal drying, the temperature of freeze-drying equipment in the drying process is basically lower than 0 ℃, which can better lock the nutrients and some heat sensitive substances in medlar. At the same time, the dried volume of Lycium barbarum processed by freeze-drying technology is almost the same, and the rehydration is also better.

In addition, the further transformation and upgrading of Lycium barbarum industry has also brought some changes to the processing structure of Lycium barbarum. Insiders said that in the next few years, the growth rate of demand in traditional markets such as medlar dried fruits will slow down, and the deeply processed food with medlar as raw material will become the new favorite of the future consumer market.

Jinghe County, located in Inner Mongolia, in order to promote the in-depth development of local Lycium barbarum industry, increase support for Lycium barbarum deep processing enterprises and promote the development and improvement of Lycium barbarum industry chain. It is reported that the local medlar products have extended from a single medlar dry fruit to more than 20 kinds of deep-processing products such as medlar beverage and medlar enzyme. The application of deep-processing equipment such as pressing, extraction and filling has greatly improved the added value of medlar products.

Ningxia is one of the traditional Lycium barbarum planting and production bases in China. Today, there are 10 Lycium barbarum deep-processing products and 4 deep-processing production lines. Relevant local research institutions found 7 unique compounds of Lycium barbarum, and established a single preparation process of Lycium barbarum anthocyanin and Lycium zeaxanthin dipalmitate with purity greater than 98%.

Nowadays, the concept of green and healthy life has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With the continuous expansion of the domestic medlar market, the industrial tentacles have begun to extend overseas. According to different market demands, the product structure of Lycium barbarum industry is constantly adjusted and the processing degree of Lycium barbarum continues to deepen. Lycium barbarum processing enterprises need to use deep processing equipment such as freeze-drying, extraction and pressing to improve the added value of products and avoid entering the "strange circle" of low-quality and low-cost competition.
