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

Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Hougu Coffee, said it uses low-temperature freeze-drying technology to extract walnut, the protein content is more than six times higher than the current market fat powder, and does not contain trans fatty acids, Xinhua reported.

The use of instant 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 issued standards for the management of trans fatty acids.

The instructions for freeze-dried walnut protein powder read: "every 100 grams this product contains 15 grams of protein and 0 grams of trans fat."

"in terms of percentage distribution, for example, when you finish this new cup of instant coffee, it is equivalent to eating nine coffee beans, one bar 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 country's total. According to the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, China's coffee consumption is growing at an annual rate of about 20%, and instant coffee accounts for about 70% of the market.

Xiong Xiangren estimated that according to the current annual consumption of plant fat in instant coffee in the country of about 1.8 million tons, it needs to consume nearly 3 million tons of walnut raw materials.

By the end of 2017, more than 90% of the counties (cities and districts) in Yunnan 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 country 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 Industry and Information Technology Commission of Yunnan Province, 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 to "inadvertently insert willow into shade." by upgrading coffee products, it will drive the development of the walnut industry.
