The Sub-Institute of Food and Agriculture Standardization, adhering to the concept of “research orientation, serving the community, and striving for excellence”, has conducted standardization researches in monitoring and control, protection of geographical indication products. Specifically, its researches focus on general and critical techniques on the sensory evaluation and consumption preference, food flavor evaluation, intelligent sensory analysis, preparation of standard sample of agricultural products, identification and monitoring of food risk factors, analysis of public comments and risk information on food safety, online quality control of food production processes, identification of the origin characteristics of geographical indication products, and assessment of the contributions of geographical indication products to the regional economy.
After a decade of development, the Sub-Institute has become a national food and agricultural standardization research center and a promotion base of technological achievements incorporating scientific researches, experimental development, application and promotion, and consulting services.
