Mrs Lijuan Du | Agricultural and Biological Sciences | Research Excellence Award 

Institute of Quality Standards & Testing Technique, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences | China

Du Lijuan is an accomplished Associate Researcher at the Institute of Quality Standards and Testing Technology, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, with more than fifteen years of professional experience dedicated to agricultural product quality, food safety, and standards development. Born in February 1981, she holds a Master of Engineering degree from the China National Research Institute of Food Fermentation Industries, where she received advanced training in food science, processing technologies, and quality evaluation systems. Her career reflects a strong commitment to safeguarding food quality and promoting sustainable agricultural development, particularly within the context of China’s rapidly evolving agri-food sector. Since joining the Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2009, Du Lijuan has played a vital role in strengthening quality assurance systems for agricultural products. Her research focuses on food safety testing methodologies, quality standards formulation, traceability technologies, and identity identification of characteristic and geographical indication agricultural products. She has been deeply involved in advancing green and organic agricultural production, with particular emphasis on plateau characteristic products unique to Yunnan Province. Through her work, she contributes directly to improving consumer trust, regulatory compliance, and the market competitiveness of agricultural products. A significant aspect of her professional achievements lies in standards formulation and policy support. She has led the development of two Industry Standards of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, namely Green Food – Edible Fungi and Green Food – Seasoning Oil, and has participated in the formulation of additional national and group standards. These contributions have had a lasting impact on the normalization, safety, and quality control of green food products in China. Her innovative capacity is further demonstrated by her role as first inventor of four authorized patents, reflecting her ability to translate research outcomes into practical technological solutions. Du Lijuan has been actively involved in numerous provincial science and technology programs, including projects supporting the construction of the “Green Food Brand,” quality and safety supervision systems, and traceability platforms for organic and geographically indicated agricultural products.
