| The National Engineering and Technology Research Center for Preservation
of Agricultural Products (CPAP) is an associated institute in responsible
for promoting the development of freshness industrialization in China.
It was formally approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology,
China in 1998 and constituted by Tian-Jin Academy of Agricultural
Sciences. CPAP has focused its efforts on biological and technological
research in the areas of post-harvest storage, treatment, shipping,
packaging, handing and distribution of agronomic and horticultural
crops. Facilities, preservatives and packaging materials relative
to fresh-keep are also partially. As the CPAP’s economic body,
Tianjin Luda Freshness Protection Engineering & Technology Co.,
Ltd. Has been registered in Tianjin Science and Technology Industrial
Zone.
Research, invention and extension of post-harvest technology and
engineering are linked together as the profile of CPAP., and the
center is constituted by 6 research sections including food processing,
post-harvest physiology, post-harvest pathology, preservatives and
packaging materials, storage facility, agricultural products safety
and quality detection. Tianjin Luda Freshness Protection Engineering
& Technology Co.,Ltd. s, which belongs to CPAP, is constituted
by 5 departments as follows: supplying, producing, market, science
and technology and finance.
187 workers constitute the CPAP and Tianjin Luda Ltd. Corp., among
which is 30 highly qualified researchers (including 8 doctors and
9 masters). As the coordinator of the Chinese Association for Preservation
of Agricultural Products and the team leader of the National “Good
Fruit” research Cooperative, CPAP has run 57 of training/education/workshop
programs for post-harvest technology around China and invited 7
foreign professor as advisors. It was a feature of CPAP that “small
institute but huge net”.
According to advanced technology home and abroad and long time
of research and practice in post-harvest field of fruits and vegetables,
CPAP’ has developed tens of LUDA brand preservatives for fruits
and vegetables. The preservatives are wide spectrum, highly efficient
antiseptic, and safe food additives, can extend the storage period
of tens of fruits and vegetables. The preservatives were research
products of National ‘the Ninth Five-Year’ Key Projects“Post-harvest
Technology for Fruits and Vegetables”,which had acquired the
Second Prize of Tianjin Science and Technology Advancement.
Fresh keeping plastic films manufactured by CPAP have acquired
national patent. The plastic film is soft, anti-fog in low temperature
and has modified atmosphere effect. The research and manufacture
of the films had acquired the Second Prize of Tianjin Science and
Technology Advancement. The quality of fruits and vegetables kept
in the plastic film is apparently better than that in common plastic
film.
Mini energy-saving cold facilities, mini low pressure store and
integrated equipment developed by CPAP have acquire many patents
and is popular in China because of integrated serves.
Supported by the science and technology project and achievement
by CPAP, Tianjin Luda Freshness Protection Engineering & Technology
Co.,Ltd. manufactured 4 main types of products including Mini energy—saving
cold facilities, Fresh keeping plastic films, preservatives and
fruits bags. The products named as Luda brand have extended to almost
all provinces of China.
