Hanoi (VNA) – Freeze dried sugarcane juice, a product of Vinamit JointStock Company, has been patented by the United States Patent and TrademarkOffice (USPTO) in the US market.

According to Vinamit Chairman Nguyen Lam Vien, the patent for the sugarcanejuice lays foundation for Vinamit to strongly develop the protected brand inthe US market.

Vien has received the US patent awards for a series of freeze dried beveragesfrom Vietnamese fruits and vegetables over the past two months. Sugarcane juiceand freeze dried sugarcane juice are the newest.

His drying technology, which converts liquid into powder but still keeps theoriginality and singularity of the substance, was patented by the US(US.No.10.676.797) in June 2020. Vinamit applies this technology to fruit andvegetables and has patents registered in the US and Vietnam.

In a bid to apply for the US’s patent, Vien had to prove that his technologywas brand new at that time, and the preeminence it brought to the processedproducts, including freshness and richness in vitamin, minerals and probiotics.

The formula was then applied for production of sugarcane and fermentedsugarcane juice, and it was successful at preserving the cane’s taste.

Vien then came to the idea of processing more Vietnamese fruits andvegetables,  helping Vietnamese peoplelead a healthy lifestyle.

Procedures to gain protection for Vien’s products are being made at theIntellectual Property Office of Vietnam.

Vinamit is completing technology platforms to distribute its products to thecustomers in Vietnam, the US, Japan and more.

“Our products are not made to be eaten for fun. It’s lucky for us that thewhole world is concerning how to improve health and immune system, particularlywhen the COVID-19 pandemic is becoming more complicated”, Vien said.

He hoped that in the next five years, Vinamit’sproducts would win the taste of more than 50 million customers, including 30million Vietnamese and 20 million foreigners.
