Protein
Protein is the material basis of life activities and the main substance constituting human organs Sea cucumber is a high-protein, low-cholesterol food. Among the many sea cucumbers, Spurgeon ginseng has the highest content of protein and carbohydrates, and its crude fat content is second only to that of plum ginseng. Black milk ginseng
has the highest crude protein content.
Essential Amino Acids
Amino acids are the material basis for synthesizing proteins, which are not only of high nutritional value to the human body, but also of high medicinal value, and have been widely used in medicine. Especially, essential amino acids play an important role in human immune function,
and it is also an important index to evaluate the quality of protein. Sea cucumber body contains 18 kinds of amino acids, including 10 kinds of essential amino acids: threonine valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, glycine, proline, glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid. And the content of arginine, glycine and glutamic acid are high. Glycine content was higher in black milk ginseng and white-bottomed radiolarian ginseng,
about 17%, and in spiny ginseng, 7.02%; arginine content was higher in chartreuse white nystriped ginseng and white-bottomed radiolarian ginseng, 7%-8%
, and in Liao spiny ginseng, 2.11%; Liao spiny ginseng had the highest isoleucine, leucine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, lysine, finesine, and methionine content, and glycine content was Glycine content is second only to black milk ginseng and white-bottomed radiated anal ginseng, and arginine content ranks third.
Vitality of life - trace elements
Sea cucumbers are rich in chemical elements, and more than 20 kinds of chemical elements have been analyzed and determined from 15 kinds of sea cucumbers
. Sea cucumber body not only contains calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium five kinds of essential macronutrients, but also includes cobalt, chromium, copper, iron,
manganese, nickel, germanium, vanadium, strontium, zinc and other trace elements. Among them, manganese, zinc, selenium content is relatively high. Inorganic elements are indispensable components of the human body,
which play an important role in the transportation of substances in the body, synthesis and nucleic acid metabolism.
In addition, in some biological molecules, it has some specific physiological functions, necessary for cellular metabolism, can play a role in anti-aging, enhance immunity.
Germanium
Germanium includes organic germanium and inorganic germanium, of which organic germanium can make the human body enzyme activation, enhance cellular vitality, promote the body's new
metabolism, anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-inflammatory, delaying aging and immunomodulation.
Iron
Iron is involved in the composition of hemoglobin, the main component.
Vanadium
Vanadium is one of the essential trace elements, which can maintain the normal glucose metabolism of the body and effectively prevent and treat diabetes. Vanadium not only
can maintain normal glucose metabolism, but also promote lipid metabolism, inhibit cholesterol synthesis, reduce the degree of atherosclerosis,
coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and other adjuvant therapeutic effects.
Zinc
Zinc is one of the two elements that the human body needs the most, zinc is more than 200 kinds of zinc-containing enzyme components, in the nucleic acid and egg
white matter metabolism has an important role. Zinc also promotes normal brain development in children and reduces IQ disorders.
Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace element that enhances the body's immune function. Selenium deficiency is prone to cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, asthma and more than 40 other diseases.
In some sea cucumbers, the content of certain chemical elements is very rich, such as chartreuse white nycthemeral cucumber with the highest calcium, sea geoduck with the highest iron and copper, brown sea cucumber with the highest potassium, multicolumn sea cucumber with the highest magnesium, plum cucumber, ugly sea cucumber with a high sodium content, and white-bottomed spoke-anal cucumber with a high amount of nickel
