On themorning of November 3, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and TheState Council held the 2020 National Science and Technology Awards Conferencein Beijing. The project "Key Technology and Application of Highperformance equipment for sterilization and filling of Packaged Food", ledby professor Liu Donghong's team as the first completion unit of our school,won the second prize of National Technological Invention Award.

Sterilizationand packaging are the last line of defense for food safety and qualityassurance. Packaging food sterilization involves food, container, environmentand other multidimensional complex system, there are long-term difficultprecise control of sterilization intensity, high temperature dynamic sealingrequirements, filling long-term aseptic maintenance difficult equipmenttechnical problems. Since the 1950s, European and American JBT, BOSCH and otherenterprises monopolized the equipment market in this field, which seriouslyrestricted the independent development of China's food industry. Project teamfor the above equipment technical difficulties studying more than ten years,successfully developed high temperature sterilization, efficient asepticfilling and a series of continuous sterilization filling equipment, realize theenormous quantity of liquid milk, vegetable protein beverage, canned food andother products of successive high efficiency, short sterilization with highquality packaging, supported the Chinese food made in China, So that theChinese people can eat better, safer and more assured food.
