《南方日报》聚焦佛山创新力量，对中国科学院南海海洋研究所与佛山市安安美容保健品有限公司联合研发的海洋生物小分子肽在高端护肤品应用的专利技术进行专题报道。该项科研专利成果得到了佛山市安安美容保健品有限公司“院士工作站”中国工程院院士专家研发团队的鼎力支持，并先后荣获“中国专利优秀奖”、“广东专利金奖”。 现将《南方日报》报导全文转载如下，以飨读者。
佛山创新力量②| 这家佛山企业攻关十年，寻觅海洋深处的“生物金矿”开篇语
历经十年，安安参与研发的以生物活性肽（又称“生物小肽”）为原料的“源海”系列产品已攻克技术难点，成为国内海洋护肤领域一大突破，同时也拓展了海洋生物活性肽的应用场景。

如何让海洋生物活性肽在加入护肤品后仍然保持其成分的稳定性，则是安安技术研发团队一直关注的重点和难点。“我们需要分析每个原料的特性以及防腐体系。既要保证配方稳定，还需要实现增效功能。”许锋介绍。而一旦加入生物活性肽，其原本的成分稳定性就会受到破坏。
据介绍，在中国科学院南海海洋研究所教授孙恢礼、工程院院士张偲等科研人才的带领下，安安研发团队在生物活性肽的研发终于有了实质性的进展。2014年，安安推出了第一款以生物活性肽为原料的高端护肤产品，填补了国内海洋生物护肤品品牌空白。
2017年，中国科学院南海海洋研究所、佛山市安安美容保健品有限公司联合研发的“一种含有海洋贝类活性肽的化妆品及其制备方法和应用”（专利号：ZL201110079404.0）项目先后获得“广东专利金”奖及国家知识产权局颁发的“中国专利优秀奖”。
经过十年的潜心研发，安安参与研发的“源海”系列第三代产品已突破了技术瓶颈，成功将具有抗皱、美白功效的生物活性肽加入护肤品中，并且该产品在经过各类破化性试验后仍然能保持其成分的稳定性。目前，该产品还在试验阶段，预计于今年8月进行投产。

Establishing an Innovation Platform
Expand new space for product research and development
An'an has become a leading brand in marine skincare in China, and industry university research cooperation has played a significant role. In 2009, An An established the "China Marine Biological Cosmetics Production, Study and Research Base and Industrialization Demonstration Base", cooperated with the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc., to promote the transformation of scientific research achievements. In the same year, An An's cosmetics production workshop built in accordance with pharmaceutical standards was put into use.
In 2015, An An's 1500 square meter technology innovation research and development center was put into use. The center has also introduced a group of technical talents while introducing advanced foreign skin testers and cosmetic efficacy testers.
The center has become a comprehensive research and development base that integrates functional raw material preparation, product refinement analysis, and product functional effect evaluation, providing an important functional platform for safety technology research and development.
From then on, An An established an integrated development model from research and development, production to supply.
At present, An An has applied for 11 invention patents (7 authorizations) for marine biological cosmetics, developed 16 series of skincare products such as "Yuanhai", and achieved good economic benefits.
In 2017, the Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the National Development and Reform Commission on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Food Industry pointed out that during the 13th Five Year Plan period, strong support should be given to the development of healthy foods such as functional proteins and bioactive peptides. This sends a very positive signal for the peptide industry.
Next, An'an plans to integrate bioactive peptides into more products and extend the industry chain of bioactive peptides. This will further expand the application fields of bioactive peptides and bring new imaginative space for the development of Foshan's bioactive peptide industry.
