On October 16, 2025, the 45th World Food Day arrived as scheduled. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, with the theme of 'Hand in Hand, Promote Diverse Cuisine, Unite for a Better Future', once again sounded the alarm for global food security.

Against the backdrop of global climate change, regional conflicts, and economic fluctuations, the fragility of the food supply chain has become increasingly prominent. As a major producer and consumer of agriculture, China has achieved an international safety line of 141.3 billion kilograms of total grain output and a per capita possession of over 500 kilograms by 2024. However, the defense line for food security testing still needs to be continuously strengthened. In this important matter concerning human health, Beijing Jitian Instrument Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jitian Instrument") has provided accurate and efficient solutions for food security testing with innovative technology.

Food Security: Technological Protection from Fields to Tables

Grain testing is the first checkpoint to ensure food security, covering the entire chain of raw grains, oilseeds, and finished grain and oil products. The testing items cover seven major categories of indicators, including appearance, composition, heavy metals, pesticide residues, additives, and microorganisms. From pesticide residue screening in the fields, to fungal toxin detection in grain warehouses, to monitoring heavy metal content on dining tables, the 'health record' of each grain needs to be completed through professional instruments.

According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global food loss caused by improper storage and processing pollution reaches 1.3 billion tons annually, equivalent to the annual food supply of 30 million people. The theme of 'Food Conservation, Everyone's Responsibility' for the 2025 Food Security Promotion Week not only calls for reducing table waste, but also emphasizes controlling food quality from the source through technological means.

Jitian Instrument Full Chain Solution:

Accurate control from soil to dining table

As a pioneer brand of domestic scientific instruments, Jitian Instrument has established a solution covering the entire life cycle of grain:

Planting process:By using atomic fluorescence spectrophotometer and ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer) to detect soil heavy metal content, combined with flow injection analyzer to monitor irrigation water quality, data support is provided for the 'storing grain in the ground' strategy.

Storage process:Near infrared spectrometer, with its non-destructive and real-time detection characteristics, is becoming a standard configuration for grain storage and processing, which can effectively prevent defective products from entering the market.

Processing process:GC-IMS (Gas Chromatography Ion Mobility Spectrometry) can effectively identify different grain fermentation and processing technologies through odor analysis. Its core advantages lie in high sensitivity and rapid detection, which can provide key technical support for grain quality control and process optimization.

Circulation process:During the transportation of grain to different regions, the DMA-500 (direct mercury analyzer) can be used for sampling and analysis of grain, effectively preventing grain products with excessive heavy metals from entering the market.

Other stages:Paired with rapid solvent extraction equipment and fully automatic graphite digestion equipment, it can safely and efficiently pretreat grain samples, simplifying the overall experimental process.

Practicing Chinese Corporate Responsibility: Empowering Food Security with Technology

Every instrument is a gatekeeper for food security. "Jitian Instrument is deeply rooted in the field of food security, creating comprehensive solutions with innovative technology. It has not only won the widespread trust of domestic users, but also stepped onto the world stage with its" Made in China "hard core strength. At present, Jitian Instrument's atomic fluorescence spectrophotometer, flow injection analyzer, ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer), ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer), and near-infrared spectrometer have successfully assisted multiple countries in building modern food quality testing laboratories, injecting Chinese scientific and technological strength into global food security governance.

Assist in the construction of overseas laboratories

Illuminate food security with the light of technology

From the black soil in Northeast China to the rice fields in South China, from the western granary to the eastern coast, Jitian Instrument's detection equipment is guarding the food security of many places. On the occasion of World Food Day and Food Security Awareness Week, Beijing Jitian Instrument Co., Ltd. calls on the whole society: food security is not only a strategic proposition of the country, but also the technical responsibility of every enterprise. Through continuous innovation, Jitian Instrument is willing to work hand in hand with all sectors to build a strong defense line for food security with the power of technology, and contribute to the vision of 'holding hands to promote diverse cuisine, gathering strength to create a better future'.
