As a health food competition, the ingredients and finished products should be focused on health. The competition is subdivided into diet drug regimen, vegetarian health food, and fruit health food. Prof. Hu participated in the triathlon competition of higher education vegetarian regimen group, while he also participated in the group competition with other teachers from STUST. Prof. Hu said that as the competition was held in India, many of the ingredients were quite limited. The locals are in curry-based diet, so many ingredients must be raw materials taken from Taiwan to produce a sense of freshness.
