Longlive Biotechnology

Shandong Longlive Bio-technology is a Chinese industrial biotechnology company that pioneered the biorefinery model using agricultural waste. The company specializes in the production of functional sugars, most notably xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), which serve as high-purity prebiotics for the food and healthcare industries. Beyond health ingredients, Longlive is a major producer of cellulosic ethanol and lignin, utilizing corn cobs as a primary raw material. The company's integrated technology chain allows for the simultaneous production of value-added chemicals and renewable energy. However, following a series of financial scandals and debt defaults, the company was delisted from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2020.
