How to Distinguish Pork Containing Clenbuterol
Experts tell us that pigs fed clenbuterol will have clenbuterol in their pork. If we eat it occasionally, it won't do any harm to our health, but if we eat this kind of pork in large quantities, especially the internal organs, it will cause acute poisoning. So? The following small series will introduce you to three tricks to identify clenbuterol: one trick: look at pork fat (lard). If it is healthy pork, the color is generally white, while the pork containing clenbuterol is extremely bright, and the subcutaneous fat layer is obviously thin, usually less than one centimeter. Cut the pork into two or three fingers wide and cannot stand on the chopping board; There is yellow liquid flowing out between lean meat and fat, and the fat is particularly thin; The gluteal muscles of pork containing lean meat are full and prominent, and the fat layer is very thin. The capillaries in the fat layers of the two groins are densely distributed and even congested. The second measure: observe the color of lean meat. Usually, pork with lean meat is dark in color, bright in color and mostly bright red with loose fibers. Look carefully, it contains a small amount of "sweat" oozing from the meat surface. However, generally healthy lean meat is reddish, with good elasticity and will not "sweat" on the meat. Three measures: normal fresh meat is mostly neutral and weakly alkaline by ph test paper, and the ph value of 1 hour after slaughter is 6.2-6.3; Under natural conditions, the ph value is 5.6-6.0 after cooling for more than 6 hours, while the pork containing lean meat is acidic, and the ph value is obviously lower than the normal range. "Clenbuterol" has a long-term impact on our human body, but the impact depends on the daily intake. The content of clenbuterol has the detection index value. If the intake content is within a safe range, it will generally not cause harm to our human body. However, if you eat pig liver containing more than 0.25kg of clenbuterol, you will have poisoning symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, weakness of limbs and shaking hands. Foods containing clenbuterol are more harmful to patients with heart disease, hypertension and the elderly.
