What is the scientific name of the youth factor contained in the yam powder of the bran frying process called yam polysaccharide.
1, yam, also known as Dioscorea opposita, yam and so on, is a kind of common Chinese herbs and ingredients. Yam is rich in nutrients, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc., and has a high medicinal and food value. Among them, yam polysaccharide is an important active ingredient in yam, which is known as "natural youth factor".
2, yam polysaccharide is by glucose, galactose, arabinose, xylose and other monosaccharides through the α-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds connected to the polymer. It has good biological activity, can regulate the body's immune system, enhance the body's resistance; at the same time, yam polysaccharide also has a variety of physiological functions such as antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-virus and so on.
3, bran frying process is an important method in the processing of yam. Bran frying is the yam and wheat bran together with heating and stir-frying, so that the water in the yam quickly evaporate, to achieve the purpose of drying. Bran frying process can make the active ingredients in yam fully retained, and improve the medicinal and edible value of yam. The yam powder treated by the bran frying process has a golden color, delicate taste and higher nutritional value.
4, in the bran frying process of yam powder, the content of yam polysaccharide is higher. This is because during the bran frying process, the enzymes in the bran can promote the hydrolysis of the starch in the yam to generate more monosaccharides, which in turn synthesize more yam polysaccharides. Therefore, the yam powder from the bran frying process has better health effects, especially for anti-aging and improving immunity.

1, Bran Frying Process is a traditional method of processing Chinese herbs, which is mainly used to improve the efficacy and quality of herbs. Bran frying is to heat and stir-fry the herbs with wheat bran, so that the water in the herbs quickly evaporate to achieve the purpose of drying. Bran frying process can make the active ingredients in the herbs be fully retained, and improve the medicinal value of the herbs.
2, the main steps of the bran frying process include selection, cleaning, slicing, bran frying and cooling. First, select high-quality raw materials of herbs, cleaning to remove impurities. Then, the herbs are sliced into appropriate thickness for better mixing with the bran. Next, the herbs and bran are mixed well in a certain proportion and put into a pot to heat and stir-fry.
3, in the process of stir-frying, to control the fire and time, so that the water in the herbs gradually evaporate, while avoiding the herbs burnt. Finally, the stir-fried herbs will be cooled to obtain the bran-fried herbs. Bran frying process has the following advantages: improve the efficacy: bran frying process can make the active ingredients in the herbs are fully retained, improve the efficacy of the herbs.
4, at the same time, the high temperature in the process of stir-frying can make some toxic ingredients in the herbs decompose and reduce the toxicity of the herbs. Improve the taste: Bran frying process can make the taste of herbs more delicate, easy to eat and decoction. Extend shelf life: Bran frying process can make the water in the herbs evaporate quickly, reduce the moisture content of the herbs, thus extending the shelf life of the herbs.
