On November 26, 2023, the DHA algal oil product of Anhui Tiankai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. passed the approval of the European Union for new resources (novel food) (No.: EFSA-Q-2020-00850, NF 2020 2242, see appendix for details).This is one of the few new EU resources (infant formula) that Chinese algal oil producers have applied for and approved independentlyIt marks that China's self-produced DHA algae oil products have met the strict quality requirements of EU standards, and its significance and influence are very far-reaching.
In the European Union, the sales of DHA algal oil comply with different regulations according to different application categories, and when the application end product is ordinary food, it must meet the relevant EU product quality standards and limited dosage requirements. When the end product is infant formula, the first merchant needs to apply to the European Food Safety Commission (EFSA) in advance and obtain approval, otherwise, DHA algal oil shall not be sold to manufacturers of infant formula sold in the European Union.
In recent years, Anhui Tiankai Biotechnology has benchmarked the international advanced technology and product quality requirements, and has taken it as its own responsibility to solve the "stuck neck" problem of China's long-term dependence on imports of core ingredients for infant formula milk powder, and has worked closely with domestic scientific research institutions such as Jiangnan University, Xiamen University, Ocean University of China, and Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to tackle key problems, and participated in the "14th Five-Year Plan" unveiling project of the Ministry of Science and Technology "Large-scale Preparation Technology Innovation and Demonstration of Infant Formula Dairy Core Ingredients". Research and application of fermentation process optimization, DHA algal oil refining process innovation, etcIt has successively obtained 2 strains of schizonchytrid fungus (TDK-1 and TDK) invention patents(A strain of schizonchytrid and its application in the fermentation of dilow DHA algal oil, ZL202310220412.)5) and other independent intellectual property rights, "TK-double low DHA algal oil" is expected to be recognized as a new product in Anhui Province by the end of 2023, with fruitful scientific research results and remarkable results in actual production and application, and the anisalamine value of DHA algal oil products is less than 25. The peroxide value is not greater than 1The proportion of 0mmol and SN-2 DHA algal oil reached 35-50%, which laid a solid foundation for product quality and strong technical support for obtaining the EU new resource food certification.

Back on February 25, 2022,Tiankai's DHA algae oil has also passed the GRAS certification of the US FDA (No. GRN001008, see the appendix for details)., covering the United States general food (generalfood), conventional infant formula (infant formula for term infants) (infant formula for pre-term infants) three categories of applications, among which the GRAS for preterm infant formula is very strict.
At the same time, the "multi-stage collinear whole milk separation process" developed by Tiankai company has realized the effective collinear separation production of many functional ingredients such as lactalbumin, casein, osteopontin and ribonuclease, lactoferrin, milk fat globule membrane protein, whey powder and many other functional ingredients in whole milk, and the fresh milk production line with a daily processing capacity of 20 tons has obtained the production license, and the production line with a daily processing capacity of 300 tons of fresh milk has entered the equipment procurement and installation stage, and is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2024. The operation of this technology will effectively alleviate the "stuck neck" phenomenon of long-term dependence on imports of core ingredients in China's infant formula industry, and even in the dairy and food industries, and support the stable and sustainable development of infant formula and other industries.
