TCM materials in line for the application of new food raw materials
At present, TCM materials must be among the catalogue of the "medicinal and edible plant" or apply for new food raw materials before becoming ordinary food. As people's health care consciousness grows, raw materials in the catalog of "medicinal and edible plant" are not able to meet the growing demands of the healthy industry. Some enterprises have positioned targets to the TCM materials, which are expected to be added to ordinary foods to improve selling points and added value. In addition to the above-mentioned TCM materials that have been approved as new food raw materials, some of the applications have been terminated after investigations, and more TCM materials are lining up for good results.
