Changshu Institute of Technology develops Cordyceps sinensis “replacement” to help revitalize the sericulture industry
Recently, the silkworm Cordyceps militaris developed by the “Sericulture” entrepreneurial practice team of Changshu Institute of Technology has been factory-produced in Wujiang, Suzhou. This “replacement” of traditional Cordyceps sinensis has the advantages of wide range of raw materials, new technology and excellent price, and is favored by many consumers.
Silkworm Cordyceps militaris is a new variety cultivated by selecting stable and highly effective ingredient transformation strains from more than 1,000 types of Cordyceps fungi and applying liquid strain inoculation technology combined with traditional silkworm pupae. After testing, the content of active ingredients such as cordycepin and cordycepic acid in Cordyceps militaris has reached or exceeded that of traditional Cordyceps sinensis, and the anti-cancer ingredient “pentostatin” has been added. Silkworm Cordyceps militaris has a wide range of raw materials, new technology and excellent prices. It is loved by the general public and has achieved sales revenue of more than 2.8 million yuan. At present, this strain has obtained a preservation number from the China Type Culture Collection Center, and the technology is protected by a patent.
Under the background of “Migration of Mulberry from East to West”, the scale of the sericulture industry in eastern my country has shrunk sharply, which has adversely affected the development of the local cocoonsilk industry. In the traditional industrial chain, the processing path of silkworm cocoons is single, and silkworm pupae are mostly used as fertilizer or directly discarded. Xu Bing, instructor of Changli University’s “Sericulture” Entrepreneurship Practice Group, led students Rui Die and others to apply unique technologies to develop silkworm Cordyceps militaris with higher commercial value and profit margins, providing a new “track” for the majority of silkworm farmers and solving the problem The waste of resources caused by the disposal of a large number of silkworm pupae as by-products makes rational use of sericulture resources, increases land output, protects the interests of sericulture farmers, and contributes to consolidating poverty alleviation and revitalizing the countryside.
Rui Die, the leader of the project team, said: “I came into contact with experimental research on edible fungi through university professional societies, and I am passionate about exploring the characteristics of edible fungi strains. With the help and support of the school and teachers, we established Silkworm The entrepreneurial practice team has developed Cordyceps militaris, which can help silkworm farmers increase their income and promote industrial development. I am very happy to use the knowledge I have learned to help revitalize the sericulture industry and benefit society.”
