Bloomage Biotech Won Three Awards of iSEE, and the Product Technical Innovation Recognized by the Food Industry Authority

Recently, iSEE Night, an innovative event in the food field sponsored by Food Daily Food and Harvard Business Review in Chinese Edition, was successfully held, and the third iSEE Innovation Award was fully announced in this event. Bloomage Biotech (688363. SH), a global leading hyaluronic acid enterprise, won three awards at one stroke, Outstanding Innovation Practice Award, Innovative Technology Award, and the Innovation Person of the Year Award won by Dr. Guo Xueping, Chief Scientist and Deputy General Manager of Bloomage Biotech.

The iSEE Innovation Award, launched in 2018, focuses on the discovery of innovative technologies/enterprises/people, and has great authority and influence in the food and beverage industry. The reason why Bloomage Biotech can win the honor in iSEE Night and be highly recognized by the food industry is that it has forward-looking innovative exploration practice in the field of food.

Through 16 years of unremitting efforts, Bloomage Biotech was awarded Outstanding Innovation Practice Award for successfully applying sodium hyaluronate as a new food raw material.

In order to promote the intake of hyaluronic acid, Bloomage Biotech has invested a large amount of manpower, resources and funds since 2004 to study the oral hyaluronic acid continuously and provided the demonstration report to the relevant national departments. Finally, in January of this year, the National Health Commission officially approved the sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid) declared by Bloomage Biotech as a new food raw material, which can be added into ordinary food. It promoted the further opening of the terminal application of hyaluronic acid in China and ushered in a new development milestone in China's hyaluronic acid industry.

After strict review by the review committee, microbial fermentation method to produce hyaluronic acid of Bloomage Biotech has won the Innovation Technology Award for its revolutionary promotion of the development of hyaluronic acid industry, which can be regarded as one of the three major industrial revolutions of hyaluronic.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an autogenously substance in human body. It exists widely in joint cavity, skin, cartilage and other tissues. Because of its good water retention and lubricity, it has high clinical and application value. Hyaluronic acid was mainly extracted from chicken crowns in the 1970s. It is not only difficult to purchase the raw materials, but also difficult to have high impurity and extraction rate. A 200kg comb was required for 1kg of hyaluronic acid. At that time, hyaluronic acid was more expensive than gold.

At the beginning of 1990s, Dr. Guo Xueping led the team to realize the first domestic production of hyaluronic acid by microbial fermentation through independent research and development, which significantly improved the hyaluronic acid fermentation yield, reduced the generation of impurities in fermentation, and greatly reduced the production cost.

In 2000, Bloomage Biotech started industrial transformation of the core technology of preparing hyaluronic acid by microbial fermentation, and continuously optimized the technology. After more than 20 years of deep cultivation, Bloomage Biotech has become the leading research and development and production enterprise of hyaluronic acid in the world.

Hyaluronic acid has gone from being more expensive than gold to living among the general public. As the core figure of microbial fermentation, Dr. Guo Xueping, chief scientist of Bloomage Biotech, has been awarded the title of annual innovation figure for his important contribution in scientific research innovation, industrial practice and promotion of hyaluronic acid industry.

At the presentation site of iSEE Night award, Dr. Guo Xueping said in an interview that: As a leading enterprise, Bloomage Biotech has never stopped its steps in the research of bioactive substances with hyaluronic acid as the core. In the future, we will continue to adhere to scientific research innovation and provide consumers with more healthy and safe new food choices.

In the future, Bloomage Biotech, as the industry leader, will continue to take technology power, product power and brand force as core competitiveness, from scientific and technological innovation, policy declaration to the industry to create a large healthy ecosystem, and constantly promote the further implementation of the Healthy China policy.
