With zero waste and a self-owned production base, it has been granted two invention patents, strengthening its capabilities in intelligent manufacturing of freeze-dried fruits.

In February 2026, Youlingyoushi’s production base—Jinjiang Youlingyoushi Food Co., Ltd.—was granted two invention patents by the National Intellectual Property Administration, covering an automated slicing process for freeze-dried fruit production and an intelligent conveying and feeding system, respectively.

Patentee: Jinjiang Youlingyoushi Food Co., Ltd. (with its own production base)

Authorizing Authority: National Intellectual Property Administration

Patent Type: Invention patent

Patent No. 1: An automated fruit-drying and slicing device and a corresponding method
Patent No.: ZL202511808531.8 | Authorization Announcement No.: CN 121245945 B | Authorization Announcement Date: February 3, 2026

Patent No. 2: A conveying and feeding device and method for dried fruit production

Invention patents represent the most rigorously examined category within China’s patent system, requiring a substantive review by the National Intellectual Property Administration for novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. The examination process typically takes two to three years. Compared with utility model and design patents, invention patents have a significantly lower grant rate, and their technical solutions are subject to higher standards of originality.

The two patents mentioned above address, respectively, the slicing and feeding stages in the production of freeze‑dried fruits. Patent one pertains to the precise control and standardization of slice dimensions, while patent two concerns the automated, continuous supply of materials during transport and feeding. Together, these two technical solutions cover the core processes of a freeze‑dried fruit production line, from raw material input to slicing and shaping.
For supply-chain partners and OEM/ODM customers, the level of automation in the production process is directly linked to product‑specification consistency and delivery reliability. The technical solutions covered by these two invention patents can serve as one of the reference criteria when assessing a manufacturer’s process capabilities.

The granting of these two invention patents marks another milestone in Youling Youshi’s R&D and qualification‑building efforts, following its recognition as a provincial key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization in Fujian Province and its receipt of the Salomon certification for “No. 1 nationwide frozen‑dried fruit sales in 2024.”

Regarding having both zero and food

Youling Youshi was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Quanzhou, Fujian. It is an innovative enterprise that integrates the operation of its own freeze‑dried fruit brand with food‑tech supply‑chain services. The company steadfastly adheres to the philosophy of “technology‑driven product innovation,” establishing deep industry‑university‑research collaborations with prestigious institutions such as Xiamen University, and continuously tackling key technological challenges in areas like freeze‑drying preservation, flavor‑enhancement processes, and nutrient retention. On the brand side, it offers consumers healthy, delicious freeze‑dried fruit snacks; on the supply‑chain side, leveraging its core freeze‑drying technology and end‑to‑end management capabilities, it provides high‑quality freeze‑dried ingredients and OEM/ODM customization services to industry clients, driving dual‑pillar growth through technological innovation in both branding and supply chain.
