When buying pine pollen, we often hear the term broken pine pollen, so what is broken pine pollen? What's the use of pine pollen breaking the wall?
In fact, the wall-breaking of pine pollen mainly uses modern technology to break the wall of pine pollen cells. Pine pollen belongs to plant cells, and the outer wall is wrapped by a fiber shell with high-density molecular structure. This kind of cell wall is hard and tough, with strong acid resistance, alkali resistance and radiation resistance, and the nutrition of broken pine pollen is easier to be absorbed.
What is the difference between broken pine pollen and unbroken pine pollen?
There is a certain difference between the broken pine pollen and the natural pine pollen. The main differences are as follows:
1, chromatic aberration
The color of pine pollen is slightly different according to different pine trees, and the color of broken pine pollen will also change to some extent. Generally, the color of broken pine pollen is lighter than that of unbroken pine pollen, and broken pine pollen is generally dark yellow.
2. Density difference
Pine pollen consists of a main body and two airbags. After the wall is broken, the airbag will be damaged, resulting in higher density of pine pollen. These two kinds of pine pollen can be identified by putting them in water. Most of the unbroken pine pollen floats on the water surface, while the broken pine pollen floats in the water or sinks to the bottom.
3. Taste difference
Pine pollen is generally bitter and has a natural pine fragrance. The bitter source is mainly the oil in pine pollen. The broken pine pollen tastes more bitter, because the oil in the pine pollen will be completely released after the wall is broken.
4. Nutritional differences
Pine pollen cannot be broken, and its nutritional value is the same. However, after wall-breaking treatment, because the protected cell wall is gone, after a period of time, the bioactive substances such as enzymes contained in it will be more prone to denaturation and deterioration, resulting in reduced nutritional value.
