CCTV News:Handmade dough is a local specialty snack in Baoji, Shaanxi Province, with sales exceeding 5.5 billion yuan last year. With the approach of the Spring Festival, the sales of rolled dough are hot, with a daily shipment of 1 million copies. What does a small rolling dough rely on to support such a large capacity? In the interview, the reporter found that there are actually 62 patented technologies behind a small rolled dough.
During this time, in the dough-rolling industry gathering area in Jintai District, Baoji, Shaanxi Province, a logistics vehicle is queuing up outside the dough-rolling factory to load. At present, 30,000 orders for rolled dough sent to the United States have just been completed here.
The reporter walked into the rolling dough enterprise that was rushing to order and saw that the production line was busy. Sheets of bright rolled dough are produced on the intelligent production line, with an average of more than 200 rolled dough off the assembly line every minute.
What the reporter didn’t expect was that such a small rolling dough actually had 62 patented technologies. These patents cover the whole industrial production process of dough, from dough preparation, washing and precipitation, curing and molding to fermented taste. In this rolling dough production enterprise, the person in charge introduced one of the core patented technologies — — Curing technology of rolled dough.
Patented technology ensures that the rolled dough "does not change flavor"
Patented technology solves the problem of productivity, but can industrial production retain the traditional flavor? How to ensure the taste of rolled dough? Behind this is still the blessing of patented technology.
Enterprise technicians told reporters that the core link to determine the taste of rolled dough is fermentation. In the past, the traditional flour paste fermentation was mainly based on experience, and the fermentation time and temperature were unstable. Now, they cooperate with Northwest A&F University, combine the concepts of food engineering and biotechnology, innovate and introduce patented fermentation technology, restore the process and retain the taste.
Small handmade noodles drive farmers to increase their income
The main raw material of rolling dough is wheat. In the interview, the reporter learned that from wheat planting, harvesting and processing, rolling dough has formed a whole industrial chain and has also become a big industry that drives farmers to increase their income.
According to the agreement signed by farmers and enterprises, farmers plant high-quality strong gluten wheat, and agricultural technicians in urban areas provide guidance in important links such as wheat fertilization, watering and pest control to ensure that the quality of wheat meets the requirements of enterprises. At the same time, enterprises buy wheat at a price 10% higher than the market price.
Handmade dough industry brings more employment opportunities to farmers
Not only provide wheat raw materials, but also villagers can get another income by working in the dough-rolling enterprises in various villages around the dough-rolling industrial park.
To eat rolled noodles, you also need oil, pepper, vinegar and other condiments, which in turn drive related industries and increase farmers’ income. Today, from raw material planting, production and processing to consumables packaging and logistics transportation, there are more than 100,000 employees in the whole Baoji dough rolling industry chain.
In order to turn Baoji handmade noodles from "local snacks" into a characteristic pillar industry for rural revitalization, Baoji formulated the Implementation Plan for Brand Building of Handmade Noodles, issued the technological process standard for making Handmade Noodles, and applied for registration of geographical indication products of Baoji Handmade Noodles, so as to promote the small noodles to stride forward into a big industry.
