This is the project of NongLamFood by Mr. Le Trung Thien and student group.
Good for health
After graduating from the doctorate program in Belgium, he came to Vietnam with his specialization in the field of study. He and his students have studied in the field of food processing industry. With the desire to apply the research results of teachers and gamers in practical processing, Thien has set up the NongLamFood startup project.
Thien said that fruit by-products (peels, seeds, membranes ...) often contain more health benefits than fruit or fruit. But the thing is that the shell is hard, tough, bitter or bitter so it is difficult to eat if not processed properly.
From then on, he and his students started to study the processing of fruit byproducts into nutritious food. The dried grape blossom is one of the first applications in the industry. Second product group processing applications are lemon cord drying. This product uses both lemon peel and lemon juice to combine the health benefits of both parts into one product.
"The skin contains antioxidant ingredients (polyphenols, vitamins, essential oils, anthocyanins, etc.) that are higher in flesh than fruit. The human body is aging due to oxidative processes in the body leading to many illnesses. The consumption of plant-based antioxidants and high fiber content is good for health, "said Thien, analyzing the effects of fruit peels.
The environment helps students to experience
Not only does it create a healthy food, NongLamFood is also an environment for students to apply their knowledge from the lecture field to practice.
Currently, NongLamFood employees are mostly students. Huynh Thi Truong, a former student with Thien researching products, is currently the production manager of NongLamFood. "This project helps our students have the environment to practice, practical experience. In particular, we see the closeness and bond between the teacher and the game. Besides, the students' ideas are always respected and supported enthusiastically to be realized. "
With a turnover of nearly 1 billion VND per month, students who work part-time still have a steady income to cover their living expenses. Currently, the product is sold in stores of foodstuffs, functional foods, organic, travel destinations and online shopping channels.
