Institute of Agro-Products Processing Science and Technology (IAPPST)

Source: Department of International Cooperation of CAAS

Authorized by the State Council, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Science and Technology, the Institute of Agro-Products Processing Science and Technology, CAAS was founded in December, 2003. Through 10 years’ development, this Institute has built a solid foundation in the aspects of discipline construction, research platform building, talents team formation, scientific project establishment, and international cooperation, etc. The Institute also has got a number of scientific achievements as well as made progress on agro-products processing industrial development. This Institute has started to step into a brand new stage of fast development and comprehensively construction of a first-class institute.

As the only national public welfare research institute on agro-products processing, the Institute carries on the responsibility of basic and application fundamental research, high-tech development, key technology study and products development; solving the fundamental, directional, national and strategic scientific issues in China’s agro-products processing. The Institute gives full play to leadership as the only national research institute on agro-products processing, to devote on scientific research and technology innovation, technologies’ transfer and application in industry, international cooperation, senior talents cultivation and industrial policy research, etc., to build the first class research institution in China and the world.

The Institute carries on the research responsibility of agro-products processing, safety and quality, which is one of the eight research areas of CAAS. At present, the Institute has 6 laboratories on Cereals and Oils Processing, Livestock Products Processing, Fruit and Vegetable Processing, Traditional Food Processing and Food Processing Machinery, Preservation and Logistics, Agro-products Quality and Bio-safety Laboratory and Nutrition Health and Functional Food Research Center.

Besides these laboratories, this Institute has 3 research priorities, including Agro-Products Processing, Agro-Products Processing Quality and Safety, Nutrition and Functional Food. By the end of 2012, there are totally 152 staff work in the Institute, of which 132 are scientists, 3 enjoys the State Council allowance, 17 professors, 28 associate professors, and 63 with doctoral degree. The number of master students and PhD students reach 140.

The Institute organizes domestic scientific cooperation with research institutes, universities, and corporations through the platforms of Comprehensive Agro-products Processing Research Center, Comprehensive Agro-products Processing Research Center, National Agro-Products Processing Technology Research and Development System, and Agro-Products Processing Standardization Commission, MOA.

A number of international research cooperative platforms has been established in the Institute, such as China-Argentina Food Science Research Center. The Institute has also promoted the cooperation with research institutions of United States, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Australia and Japan.

The Institute attaches great importance to the output of major research results and the number of award-winning research results and patent authorizations/applications as well as the influence of published papers are growing over the years. Since the day of its establishment, the Institute, as the first author, has won 24 S&T awards of various types, applied for over 110 patents at the national level and received authorizations for 56 patents. It has also published 685 papers on S&T periodicals of various types and 87 of them have been included into SCI and EI. In 2012, the Institute won 9 S&T awards, applied for 31 patents at the national level an+d received authorization for 23 patents, verified 2 research results, and published 133 papers (32 of them are included into SCI and EI), with the maximum influence factor reaching 4.693.
