Spirulina from Etuoke Banner (a specialty of Etuoke Banner, Inner Mongolia)

The basic introduction of spirulina in Etuoke Banner

Chahannaoer Lake in Etuoke Banner, Lake Chad in Africa, and Tascoco Lake in Mexico are listed as the world's three major natural alkali lakes for the growth of spirulina algae due to their pH value above 9.0. In 1996, Professor Qiao Chen from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University led a spirulina research group to investigate alkaline lakes in the Ordos sand area, and unexpectedly discovered natural spirulina platensis in the Chahannaoer alkaline lake of Etuoke Banner. Due to the abundance of 22 carbon 6-enoic acid - commonly known as "brain gold" - in the spirulina species of Chahannao'er Lake, it is the world's top three spirulina lakes. Since the trial cultivation of spirulina in Etuoke Banner began in 2003, by 2007, Etuoke Banner had achieved an annual production of over 700 tons of spirulina. By 2008, the spirulina industry had developed into a major pillar industry in Etuoke Banner, with an annual output of up to 750 tons of spirulina accounting for 1/4 of the national production. Etuoke Banner has become the world's main supply base for spirulina

In 1996, Professor Qiao Chen from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University led a spirulina research group to investigate alkaline lakes in the Ordos desert area. Unexpectedly, natural spirulina platensis was discovered in the Chahannaoer alkaline lake in Etuoke Banner. Spirulina is divided into two types: spirulina platensis and spirulina maxima. Compared with spirulina maxima, spirulina maxima has longer filaments and wider pitches, but in terms of nutritional content, spirulina platensis has higher nutritional content and is easier to absorb, so it is widely consumed internationally. Professor Hu Hongjun, the father of China's spirulina industry, wrote the inscription for the spirulina industry in Etuoke Banner as "Chahannaoer Alkali Lake, the hometown of Chinese spirulina" and "the hope of China's spirulina industry". Since 2003, relying on its resource advantages, Etuoke Banner has continuously increased government support and guidance, actively developed the spirulina industry by attracting investment and encouraging local enterprises to develop independently. In 2009, after extensive research and sufficient demonstration, based on our unique geographical location, natural alkali resources, and high-quality water sources, we proposed the strategic concept of building a "World Algae Capital" and began planning and constructing a spirulina industrial park in 2009. We plan to build a "China Algae Capital" within 3-5 years

What is the nutritional value of Spirulina in Etuoke Banner

1. External sensory characteristics: Spirulina in Etuoke Banner is a type of lower plant belonging to the phylum Cyanobacteria and the family Tremella. The cell structure of blue-green algae is primitive and very simple, making it the earliest form of photosynthesis on Earth, dating back 3.5 billion years. Growing in water bodies, it appears blue-green or dark green in color and can be seen as a spiral filament under a microscope, hence its name

2. Safety requirements: Spirulina in Etuoke Banner strictly follows the National Standard for Edible Spirulina Powder of the People's Republic of China. Attachment: National Standard for Edible Spirulina Powder in the People's Republic of China<3. Packaging: Packaging materials should comply with national food packaging hygiene requirements and environmental protection requirements. Sales packaging should comply with the relevant provisions of GB/T17109. All packaging materials should be clean, hygienic, dry, non-toxic, odorless, and meet food hygiene requirements. All packaging should be firm and not leak

4. Storage: Finished products shall not be stored outdoors. The finished product warehouse must be clean, dry, ventilated, and free from rodent infestations. Finished products shall not be stored together with toxic, harmful, spoiled, or odorous items. The transportation and storage processes comply with the regulations of NY/T5190-2002. Stacking and loading/unloading: Spirulina should be handled in a civilized manner during stacking and loading/unloading, and transportation vehicles should be clean and hygienic. Do not mix or transport with toxic or harmful substances. All compartments containing fertilizers, pesticides, and harmful chemicals must be thoroughly cleaned and washed before shipment. During transportation, it is strictly prohibited to expose to direct sunlight or rain, and attention should be paid to moisture and heat prevention. Ensure clear batches, neat stacking, and clean environment
