Ten million yuan instrument to help array Hangzhou

Following the exposure of honey fraud, CCTV has recently opened the “dark curtain” of propolis falsification, and the bee product industry is once again caught in a crisis of integrity!

On Tuesday, a bee-keeping conference attended by more than 100 bee keeper and Japanese merchants participated in the company's headquarters in Tongzi, Zhejiang, and heard sounds from all sides, especially in the current domestic bee product market. Under the current situation, beekeepers and manufacturers have expressed their misery. Of course, even the most discerning Japanese merchants have affirmed and praised the company’s products. There are many beekeepers who spoke to this reporter: “If there is no more advanced The introduction of testing standards, there is no effective market supervision, the beekeeping industry will be hit."

At the bee-keeping convention, a technician showed two black objects to reporters. The appearance and color look almost no difference. They were dark and smelled similar. “These two propolis, one true and one false,” Zhou Ping, head of the Product Development Department of the Bee Language Company, told us. If you use the indicator of total flavonoids to compare, instead of false propolis pros and cons.

According to reports, the language of bees is currently one of the largest royal jelly processing and export bases in the country, and is a leading enterprise in the national bee product industry. At present, the language of bees is HPLC fingerprinting to identify propolis. This technique uses true propolis to represent a map with various values. If it is not consistent with this map, it is fake propolis. This is like a human fingerprint. It is reported that this technology, called "A Method for Identification of Genuine Propolis by Liquid-phase Fingerprinting," obtained national patent as early as in 2008, filling the gap in the propolis industry's accurate identification of true and false propolis standards.

On April 16 this year, “The Language of Bees” received a certificate of approval from the National Laboratory Accreditation and Accreditation Service. This certificate marks the first time that the “Bee Language” test center has become the first company in the Chinese bee industry Laboratory accredited business laboratory. “This certificate is a recognition for us for many years.” Zhou Ping said, “In 1995, when we built this testing center, almost all companies in the industry were still using artificial taste to determine the quality of royal jelly.”

At present, this test center has developed together with the “Bee language” company and has invested more than 10 million yuan in funds. The test center has a test area of ​​1,500 square meters and is equipped with LC/MS/MS liquid chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, UV-visible spectrophotometer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, etc. equipment. Among them, "Using Liquid-Phase Fingerprint to Identify Genuine Propolis Technology" won the third prize of the Hangzhou Science and Technology Progress Award and obtained national patent protection.
