  • Delivering healthy, delicious, and sustainable products with cutting-edge food technology.
    To become the world’s largest plant-based food supplier.

    Individual values: Passion for Life
    Our LOGOs
    At STARFIELD, we aim to deliver healthy, delicious, sustainable food utilizing cutting-edge technology. Our logo features six visual elements, with the iconic “0” making it easily scalable while still maintaining a strong visual identity. The symmetrical icon implies balance that we seek, whether it is from the products we provide to enlighten your everyday life or our contribution to the ecosystem.

    The star-like pattern represents “Heaven” from Eastern literature. In ancient China, the term “Heaven” referred not to the sky but to the universe nurturing everything. The surrounding light black signifies the countless unknowns in the dark universe, which echoes STARFIELD’s continuous quest for new inspirations in the field of plant-based food. Jumping out of the box, we explore plant-based diets and keep on innovating to reach new heights.

    From a human perspective, the sky is the first step towards the infinite universe. The triangular peak reaches for the sky, symbolizing our aspiration, fearlessness, and endless curiosity. It also embodies STARFIELD’s commitment to protecting this beautiful planet and building a sustainable future with all those who share our ideals.

    The circle represents a complete soul; it conveys vigor and wields the power to heal the mind. STARFIELD aims to guide people towards a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. More importantly, we encourage you to listen to your inner voice and find the best way to coexist with yourself and the environment with a relaxed, vigorous lifestyle.

    Contrary to Heaven, in ancient literature, this pattern represents Earth, encompassing notions like resources, soil, and rocks. All human activities begin on Earth, the roots we must always safeguard.

    In ancient Chinese texts, the concept of water is next only to nature. Blue water embodies calmness and eternity. Its gentle touch gives rise to powerful momentum. Water signifies that STARFIELD will always maintain its gentle yet powerful brand values. We will navigate the ebb and flow and meet challenges with composure, setting sail with new hopes.

    In early Western literature, the square symbolizes habitat. This symbol showcases our vision for building a utopia. We look forward to building a spiritual habitat defined by STARFIELD’s values, a healthy, orderly, and inspiring territory that protects every beautiful soul that loves life.

    An R&D Leader

    Out of the nearly 40 patented technologies co-developed by STARFIELD and partners, 80% are related to plant-based food, and 20% pertain to equipment. We offer over 300 plant-based protein foods. Our R&D team engages in targeted, integrated innovations to meet personalized demands.

    Global research partnerships

    We have built partnerships with top universities in food science and engineering in China and beyond. Our research partnerships focus on fields including food fermentation and biotechnology, enhancement of food flavor and texture of plant-based meat, and clean labeling.
    •At STARFIELD, we work extensively with prestigious Chinese universities to study the stability and flavor of natural pigments, molecular sensory technologies, and fat oxidation in plant-based meat. Our joint efforts have generated seven patents, and our findings have been applied to the development of our products.
    •We are also working with Wageningen University & Research to research sensory evaluation and clean labeling for plant-based meat. This joint research focuses on the development of an in vitro sensory assessment system, analysis and improvement of juiciness and flavor release, and texture improvement.

    We have set up four plant-based protein laboratories and one data center

    to conduct extensive research on molecular sensory technologies, human nutrition, protein restructuring, new ingredients, and alternative proteins. STARFIELD leads the industry in terms of product range, natural ingredients, sensory evaluation, systematic data collection, and overall R&D of plant-based protein foods.
  • Molecular Sensory Lab

    The lab focuses on raw materials for plant-based protein, qualitative and quantitative flavor descriptions at the molecular level, and accurate analysis of flavor changes from raw material to finished product during thermal reactions. We aim to improve the flavor of our products through finetuning in food processing and storage.
  • Human Nutrition Laboratory

    The lab studies the nutritional value of plant-based protein foods through quantitative monitoring and improvement of nutrient loss throughout their lifecycle from balanced nutrition design to production, storage, and transportation, as well as their digestion and absorption rate in the human body. This holistic approach aims to meet genuine nutritional needs with well-designed products.
  • New Ingredients and Food Engineering Laboratory

    The lab engages in basic research on essential food ingredients, focusing on R&D efforts such as the development of new technologies and products. It has established a virtuous cycle where basic research, product development, and market lease are mutually reinforcing.
  • Protein Restructuring Laboratory

    Aiming to simulate the fibrous structure of animal meat, the lab investigates the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of plant-based proteins using targeted extrusion, varied plant-based protein combinations, and precise temperature and pressure control. It also studies protein fiber tenderization technologies (the “knitting” method) and biochemical enzyme crosslinking to simulate large meat structures.
  • Alternative Protein Data Center

    The center utilizes advanced texture analysis to quantify characteristics like hardness, elasticity, and succulence of various protein raw materials and protein products. Building upon the statistics so acquired, it builds texture correlation models between raw materials and products with the help of AI and big data. This establishes an algorithmic data center that simulates the texture characteristics of protein products based on raw ingredient data without the need for actual production, thereby enabling more efficient product R&D.
  • STARFIELD’s plant-based technology We continue to drive market breakthroughs with technological progress.
  • Textured proteins processed from soy, peas, or other plant sources are used to simulate the flavor, appearance, and texture of animal meat with the addition of flavorings, colorings, and binders.
  • Molecular sensory technology

    We offer foods free of artificial flavorings (other than those added to customized products). At STARFIELD, we employ natural molecular techniques to create the flavors of animal meat, delivering healthy and delicious plant-based food. Additionally, natural plant extracts are used to mimic the color of animal meat.
  • Targeted oxidation of plant fatty acids

    STARFIELD’s targeted oxidation of plant fatty acids innovatively employs plant-based oils to simulate the flavors of animal fats. Our plant-based protein meat releases different flavors at varying cooking temperatures, providing the smell of animal fat and rich flavors.
  • Whole meat shaping

    At STARFIELD, techniques such as wet extrusion and whole meat molding are employed to restructure plant-based proteins through the intermittent knitting method and advanced enzymatic cross-linking. This helps us simulate the flavors and muscle fibers of animal meat. Over the next 12 to 18 months, we will continue to improve the texture and flavor of our offerings and launch new whole meat series.
  • End-to-End Supply Assurance

    STARFIELD Xiaogan Production Base

    BRCGS-A certified, our self-built factory maintains exceptional quality control and long-term competitive advantages.
    *BRCGS (Brand, Reputation, Compliance, Global Standard): This internationally recognized food safety and quality standard provides certification for all aspects of product production, such as raw material procurement, process management, packaging, transportation, and storage.
    •To more flexibly meet market demands and enhance quality control and supply capabilities, STARFIELD established its own production facility in the Xiaogan National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Hubei Province. Construction began in October 2021, and full-scale production commenced in March 2023. The facility spans nearly 20,000 square meters and can produce 13 types of foods across 8 major categories.
