Yunnan coffee company Hougu Coffee recently announced the launch of three-in-one coffee without vegetable fat powder, while freeze-dried walnut protein powder was replaced by freeze-dried walnut protein powder, which was named "Walnut 007".

Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Hougu Coffee, pointed out that using low-temperature freeze-drying technology to extract walnuts, the protein content is more than six times higher than that of vegetable fat powder in the current market and contains no trans fatty acids, Xinhua reported.

That is, the use of coffee plant fat powder has a long history, the production process will be accompanied by some trans fatty acids, too much intake will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. at present, many countries have published the management standards of trans fatty acids.

The instructions for freeze-dried walnut protein powder read: 15 grams of protein and 0 grams of trans fat per 100 grams.

"in terms of percentage distribution, for example, when you finish this new cup of instant coffee, it is equivalent to eating nine coffee beans, a section of sugar cane, and three walnuts, no more fat powder." Hu Lu, vice president of Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, said.

The planting area of coffee in Yunnan has reached more than 1.8 million mu, with an output of about 150000 tons, accounting for more than 98 percent of the total in the mainland. According to the data of Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, the annual growth rate of coffee consumption in China is about 20%, and the market share of instant coffee is about 70%.

Xiong Xiangren estimates that based on the current annual consumption of 1.8 million tons of plant fat in instant coffee in the mainland, it needs to consume nearly 3 million tons of walnut raw materials.

By the end of 2017, more than 90% of Yunnan's counties (cities and districts) had planted walnuts, with a planting area of more than 43 million mu and an output of about 1.16 million tons, ranking first in the mainland in terms of planting area, output and output value. With the large-scale production of walnuts, the output may reach more than 3 million tons. Freeze-dried walnut protein powder can be used not only in instant coffee, but also in other foods.

Chen Zhonggeng, chief economist of the Yunnan Provincial Industry and Information Technology Commission, believes that in terms of the manufacturing and processing industry, the intensive processing of walnuts is very urgent, and the research and development process is very difficult. I did not expect that "inadvertently inserting willows into shade" will promote the development of the walnut industry by upgrading coffee products.
