With food as the bridge, the carnival is a dazzling spectacle.

This year’s Food Carnival focuses on the “Healthy China 2030” strategy and the nation’s public health needs. Focusing on areas such as time-honored Chinese intangible cultural heritage cuisine, regionally distinctive foods, functional foods, low-GI products, and internationally inspired culinary creations, students from the School of Food Science have leveraged their academic expertise to develop a series of remarkable, innovative food products:

● Heritage‑preserved glazed “gradient lotus‑root powder” balls, low‑fat osmanthus‑fermented rice ice cream, Xinjiang yogurt zongzi, Inner Mongolia’s intangible cultural heritage milk curd, and soybean‑flavored fermented milk skin yogurt… The inheritance and innovation of Chinese culinary culture are vividly brought to life on campus.

● Pakistani‑style fusion dishes, Bangladeshi street snacks… international flavors take your taste buds on a global journey;

● Functional beverages such as “Yang Xiaoguo” red date and goji berry enzyme drink, anti‑photoaging prickly pear probiotic fermented milk, and the “Hun Cui” tea drink—crafted from both medicinal and food ingredients—cater to diverse health needs, including fat reduction, blood sugar control, and enhanced nutrition, showcasing the robust capabilities of food science in safeguarding public health.

At the event, Mr. Mao Kaidong personally presented awards to the winning classes in the specialized track for functional food and beverage products, demonstrating his commitment to encouraging young students to translate their academic knowledge into innovative achievements.

Immersive experiences: the food industry is reinventing itself with fresh, innovative approaches.
