Carbohydrate engineering belongs to the traditional discipline of food and fermentation, which was developed with the goal of solving the problem of sugar sources necessity in the living process. With the advancement of science and technology, the discipline of carbohydrate engineering is closely integrated with biotechnology, life science, and modern medicine, and further develops the multidisciplinary research field of carbohydrate science and engineering. The major of carbohydrate engineering is mainly to train postgraduate students in China. The integration of multiple disciplines and the continuous iterative update of China's industrial structure will inevitably put forward higher requirements for innovative talents in carbohydrate engineering under the new situation. In this paper, aiming at the training concept, teaching staff, curriculum system, teaching system, teaching platform, etc., the research and exploration on the training methods of postgraduates in carbohydrate engineering are carried out. Disciplinary innovative talents can play important roles in the development of China's carbohydrate engineering discipline.
