Vice Dean Cheng Li's research team has long been engaged in research and industrialization in the field of development and comprehensive utilization of starch-based agricultural products such as corn and potatoes, and has achieved a series of research results in the development of high-quality compound staple foods from potatoes and convenient vermicelli. The Huatao Food-Jiangnan University Starch Food Joint Laboratory, jointly established by both parties, will focus on improving the quality of vermicelli in terms of nutrition, taste, and convenience, improving the nutritional composition of vermicelli in terms of dietary fiber and vitamins, improving the brewing efficiency and rehydration taste of vermicelli, and promoting the consumer group of convenient vermicelli to further extend from students and salaried workers to white-collar workers and the elderly, effectively promoting product market promotion, R&D capability cultivation, and corporate brand building.

Huatao Food will cherish its cooperation with Jiangnan University, leveraging Jiangnan University's strength to cultivate talents, and will always adhere to market orientation, strengthen product research and development efforts, improve product quality management, and reasonably control product costs, so that Huatao's products have stronger competitiveness, and quickly achieve the leading level of the company's product research and development achievements and technical content in the country, and maintain an absolute technological advantage in the industry.

The establishment of the joint laboratory will effectively promote the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of China's vermicelli industry; it will make the increasingly mature Huatao Food even more stable.
