Identification of the authenticity of the hedgehog extract

Food Business Network News Hedgehog extract saponins have blood pressure lowering, lowering blood fat, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-aging and strong effects. The peroxide-decomposing enzyme contained therein has an obvious anti-aging effect and can improve the body immunity. Saponin is a non-hormonal nutritional supplement because it does not contain any of the three major hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone). It can naturally increase testosterone, increase strength and strength, improve overall competitive status, and have no toxic side effects. As a relatively common conventional product in the plant extraction industry, with the development of some new uses, the hedgehog extract has greatly improved in terms of market demand in recent years. There have been some fakes in the market, and some of them are now analyzed for your reference.

In the earliest extraction production, the hedgehog used fruit, which was the same as that used in traditional Chinese medicine, resulting in a shortage of market supply and a significant increase in raw material costs. After research, it was found that the active ingredients in the stems and leaves were the same as the fruits, and the content and yield after extraction were higher than those extracted from the fruits. Nowadays, the commercially available hedgehog extracts are products of the extraction of locust stems and leaves.

The ingredients of Protodioscin in the locusts of the locusts have been analyzed and tested. The raw materials of the original yam and saponins in the locust raw materials produced in China are at a trace level.

The problem of high ash in the hedgehog is based on the long-term tracking of the original medicinal materials of the variety. The total ash content fluctuated greatly before July 23, and decreased significantly after July 30. The final result was 8.44% on September 25. , followed by 8.75% on August 23. The average of 3 times on August 23, September 7 and September 25 was 10.03%, which was significantly lower than the total average of 16.72% of ash content from June 25 to September 25.

The hedgehog has a distinct bitter taste and a very strong hygroscopicity. According to the operating experience, the product will have a distinct diffuse bitterness in the air during the sifting process. After the operation, the bitterness in the scorpion can not be dispersed for a long time. And the leakage is easier to absorb moisture and agglomerate in the air.

There are two commonly used detection methods for locust saponins. For UV and gravimetric methods, please read the next article, “Comparison of Detection Methods for Hedgehog Extracts” to obtain specific methods.

According to daily operation and practical experience, both detection methods have their own advantages and disadvantages:

1. The total saponin UV test method has a large error, and the test result often exceeds 100%. It is easy to cause customer suspicion, especially when the general test result is low, the content exceeds 100%.

2. In the UV test method, the standard is cobalt chloride hexahydrate, and the proportion of water molecules should be subtracted from the calculation results of the judgment.

3. The human error of the UV test method is too large, the same person, the same equipment, the test results have a gap every time. And often exceeds 5% of the error.

4. The weight method is more stable than the UV test method, and the results of different instrument operations of different people will not be much different. The general error is within 3%.

5. Weight method can distinguish the authenticity of the hedgehog extract, prevent the addition of other ingredients to increase the absorbance

The focus is on the distinction between long-term practice summarization:

1. The real hedgehog has a special bitter taste, and the taste is extremely bitter. Adding other ingredients such as water saplings and the like increases the absorbance substantially without bitterness.

2. The real cargo leaks easily in the air. Adding products due to the increase in yellow dextrin, hygroscopicity is reduced.

3. The product extracted from the hedgehog extract has a higher ash content, such as 90% of the product ash content exceeds 20%. The main ash is classified into inorganic substances such as calcium and magnesium. Adding a compounded product has a lower ash content because of the use of dextrin.
