Peach gum, also known as peach oil and peach tears, is distributed in many places in China. Peach gum contains carbohydrate, fat, protein and plant collagen, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and achieve laxative effect. Regular consumption can also make the skin elastic, ruddy and shiny.
There are a lot of protein in human cells and tissues. Protein is not only an important part of the human body, but also a participant in various activities within the human body. Protein is the source of human life. Eating peach gum can supplement protein for the body, enhance the synthesis of tissues in the body and strengthen the body.
Peach gum is mainly a polymer of various monosaccharides and unsaturated fatty acids. Soaking in clear water and cooking porridge can increase the content of monosaccharide and unsaturated fatty acid in blood, which is helpful to control blood sugar and reduce blood lipid.
The aging of human skin is directly related to free radicals, and the elasticity of skin is related to collagen. When the collagen in the human body is insufficient, the elasticity of the skin will decrease and wrinkles will appear. Peach gum contains more plant collagen, and proper consumption of peach gum can effectively supplement the body's collagen and prevent the decline of skin elasticity.
Peach gum contains a lot of galactose, which is the decomposition component of lactose in mammalian milk. Except beets, plants rarely contain them. Galactose is a component of cerebroside in the brain nervous system, which is closely related to the rapid growth of the brain after the baby is born. Therefore, proper consumption of peach gum can supplement the galactose needed by the brain, which is of great help to the brain and intelligence.
How to tell the true and false peach gum
1, raw gum refers to the edible tender peach gum directly picked from trees, which requires high purity and quality, has no fixed shape and size, and has uneven colors. Its fake is to mix other gums into peach gum and sell it as peach gum. For example, rosin, a chemical raw material, can be mixed with peach gum. They are similar in appearance, but the longer the rosin stays, the more beautiful it is in Huang Yue, and the smell is a bit pungent.
2. The raw material of refined peach gum is not necessarily peach gum, and the purity can also be improved. Soaking and then curing (in Baidu Soso), this is a secondary redox process. The processing agent and equipment used in this process require higher requirements, and the produced peach gum will have no impurities, uniform particles and fixed color size and shape.
