From GABA to Goji: A Scientific Benchmark for Functional Ingredients in Asia Takes Shape in Zhangzhou

2026-09-21 21:20 Last Updated At:22:45

ZHANGZHOU, China, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Second Working Meeting of the Asia Innovation-Ready Food Regulatory Systems Initiative was held in Zhangzhou, Fujian, from September 14 to 15, 2026. Convened by the Global Food Regulatory Science Society (GFoRSS) and organized by Damin International, the meeting was supported by the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST), the Shanghai Junshi Life Science Research Institute, International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), and other organizations. Attendees included Academician Chen Junshi, Professor Pavinee Chinachoti, Professor Tee E-Siong, Professor Samuel Godefroy, and Jiang Aiqing, Chairman of Damin Food.

GABA and Goji were selected as the first two pilot cases. GABA is subject to a diverse regulatory landscape across Asia. Japan has incorporated it into its Foods with Function Claims system, Thailand is reforming its framework for health claims, and other jurisdictions classify it as a novel food. Goji presents a different regulatory challenge: can its history of traditional consumption serve as evidence of safety? When it is processed into a standardized extract, are there gaps in the toxicological data for its intended uses, and what additional studies are required?

The meeting examined the current landscape of health claims for non-nutrient substances in Asia and the pilot assessment of Goji. Participants also held in-depth discussions on GABA safety, claim substantiation, and the development of regional guidance.

The meeting produced a series of practical outcomes, including a consensus-based assessment summary for GABA, preliminary conclusions from the Goji pilot, a safety assessment framework, a claim substantiation framework, a capacity-building blueprint, and a framework for developing the Global Food Innovation Regulatory Network (GFIRN).

Consumers will benefit from clearer scientific support for functional foods; innovative food companies will gain more predictable pathways to market; and regulators will be better equipped to respond swiftly to innovation while safeguarding food safety. This regulatory initiative, advanced in Zhangzhou, is helping reshape the future of food regulation in Asia.

JIANGMEN, China, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jiangmen Meixin Comb Brush Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading brush machine manufacturer in China, marks its 38th year of operations. By engineering automated production solutions for the global brush manufacturing industry, Meixin has secured a significant market share across Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Today, the company actively cooperates with clients worldwide, sustaining successful partnerships in countries such as Germany, the UK, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, and Kenya.

38 Years of Engineering and Manufacturing Experience

Founded in 1988, the company operates as a foundational pioneer in the domestic brush making machinery sector. One-third of the internal engineering staff applies over two decades of direct factory floor experience to daily design operations. This technical depth translates into numerous secured invention, utility, and design patents.

The engineering team consistently rolls out specialized units, including 2- to 5-axis brush tufting machines, brush drilling and tufting integrated machines, brush trimmers, and high-end custom brush-making machines. As a comprehensive China brush machine supplier, Meixin manufactures equipment lines for household cleaning brush items such as brooms, cleaning brushes, toilet brushes, ceiling brushes, and industrial brushes such as strip brushes, disc brushes, plate brushes, roller brushes, abrasive applications, and heavy-duty industrial applications. These production lines range from basic manual brush making machines to highly complex CNC brush machines.

Flexible Custom Production Capabilities

As a professional brush making machine manufacturer, Meixin resolves specific manufacturing bottlenecks through extensive OEM and ODM customization services aligned with individual client specifications. Whether an assembly line requires a high-volume broom making machine or a precise plastic brush making machine, the company executes complete equipment installation, debugging, and operator training.

To maintain strict quality control and an efficient processing cycle, an independent CNC processing department manages precise part processing for machines and critical spare parts, preparing for immediate dispatch. This robust pre-sales and after-sales support system is fully backed by 24/7 online technical assistance alongside professional on-site maintenance protocols for global manufacturing partners.

Every unit leaving the production floor undergoes 100% pre-dispatch testing to verify functional capabilities, safety, reliability, and durability. Technicians construct these systems using premium international components, integrating imported TBI precision ball screws, linear guides, Panasonic servo motors, and Italian brake motors to ensure long-term operational stability.

Innovative Automation and Equipment Upgrades

Meixin remains dedicated to driving industrial efficiency and output optimization. CEO Leo champions this operational philosophy, stating, "Make brush making simpler, prevent production from stagnating due to technical issues, and bring Meixin Brush Machinery to the world."

This commitment drives the continuous development of advanced automated brush making equipment, prominently featuring the 2-axis automatic broom machine introduced last year. The new-generation Meixin 2-Axis Brush Machine is designed to deliver efficient, stable, and automated brush production. With automatic conveying and auto changeover, one operator can easily manage multiple machines, helping reduce labor costs while maintaining high productivity. The optimized 2-axis control system also secures uniform hole positioning alongside consistent bristle insertion during extended production cycles of the broom manufacturing machine, effectively minimizing defect rates and guaranteeing stable, high-yield output.

Similar specialized equipment actively resolves regional manufacturing hurdles. For example, fully automatic no-dust broom making machines now operate extensively across India to meet local volume demands. The engineering team continues to introduce distinct mechanical configurations to systematically elevate global factory metrics:

  • No-dust broom making machines: The hardware merges PP filament loading, conveying, flagging, gluing, and manual winding into a singular sequence, raising overall output by 80% compared to traditional hand-assembly methods.
  • Mixed material production lines: Dedicated brush making machines handle special materials, including leather, cotton strips, and leather-based mixed plastic filaments.
  • Industrial bristle removal equipment: Supporting sustainable recycling practices, this system efficiently strips old filaments from industrial bases and drastically reduces manual labor time. Operators can then reuse the core structures for secondary tufting.

About Meixin Brush Machinery

Jiangmen Meixin Comb Brush Machinery Co., Ltd. operates as a highly integrated trade enterprise and industrial brush machinery supplier. Meixin's production capabilities deliver reliable equipment such as the industrial brush machine, roller brush making machine, bottle brush making machine, and the standard toilet brush machine. Driven by a core commitment to bridging quality, service, and reliability, Meixin continuously empowers the global brush manufacturing industry while building lasting, win-win partnerships with clients worldwide.
