The company is a leading producer of functional sugars, including xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), xylitol, and erythritol, which are used as prebiotics and healthy sweeteners in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, Longlive developed a biorefinery platform to produce cellulosic ethanol and lignin from biomass. Its operations focused on the integration of functional sugar, starch sugar, and new energy industries. Although once a major player on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the company faced severe financial difficulties and was officially delisted in 2020. The company's core technology involves enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes to convert plant fibers into high-value biochemicals.
