On January 17, 2025, Prof. Deming Li, President of Green World International Group, visited Nanjing Agricultural University accompanied by Mr. Shaobo Liu, Sales Director of Green World China Region, Mr. Hua Zhao, Director of Green World International Group Tianjin R&D Department, Mr. Yuan Hu, Head of Green World International Group Nanjing Procurement Department, and two colleagues from Green World International Group Nanjing R&D Department.
Green World International Group had previously donated 3 million yuan to Fan Qingsheng Applied Microbiology Laboratory at Nanjing Agricultural University for its outstanding contributions in the field of blueberry experimental research and its assistance to Green World for the breakthroughs in blueberry research and development. This visit focused on listening to the research report from graduate students under the cultivation of Green World International Group and Nanjing Agricultural University. The report detailed progress on blueberry anthocyanin research, including the extraction, purification, structural identification, and bioactivity studies. In addition, Green World International Group shared its laboratory findings, aiming to deepen studies and analysis on blueberry anthocyanins through human cell membrane penetration experiments based on current results.
During the communication session, Prof. Deming Li presented various blueberry product samples to Prof. Mingwen Zhao, including dried and frozen products such as blueberry pomace and wine lees. These samples were provided to further investigate the nutritional value and potential applications of blueberries in different processing forms. Furthermore, these samples will be analyzed for their residual anthocyanin content to evaluate its stability during processing. The research team also explored the development of blueberry-based probiotics to create new functional foods with specific health benefits. Future experiments and advanced instruments will be applied to verify the antioxidant properties of blueberry anthocyanins, particularly their expression in human DNA, providing scientific evidence for their health benefits.
This visit fostered a closer collaboration between Green World International Group and Nanjing Agricultural University on the blueberry anthocyanins project. Not only their existing partnership was reinforced, but also the directions and objectives in areas such as technical research and product development were defined more clearly. Together, they envisioned a promising future for their collaboration. In the future, they will be committed to further deepening the research on antioxidant properties of blueberry anthocyanins, and expanding the scope from general functional studies to a more precise molecular-level analysis of blueberry components.
