Red currant rice is fermented by the red currant mold, so we first need to make red currant mold first. We have to prepare a suitable medium for the growth of the bacteria, and then plant the bacteria on top of the medium, after a period of time it will grow bacteria, we have to choose the good growth of the bacteria inoculated into the new medium. It needs to be repeated 3 times to get good quality Aspergillus rubra colonies. After cultivating the Aspergillus erythropolis colony, we need to prepare the spore suspension. Put the colony into the container, and then add the appropriate amount of sterile water, so that the spores are mixed into the sterile water, and then transfer the solution to other containers, wash the glass beads into the container and shake well to make the spore suspension.
The next step is to deal with the raw material rice, select high-quality rice, remove the impurities, so that the purity of the higher. At room temperature with the right amount of cold water to soak the rice for a day, so that the grains of rice to fully absorb the water, the time to fish out the rice into the steamer repeatedly steamed. Finally, mix the prepared spore suspension with the rice and carry out the fermentation culture for about 20 days, during the fermentation period, there should be enough light, and a moderate amount of contact with the air. After the rice is fermented, it should be taken out and air-dried in the sun for a few hours, but not exposed to the sun. After completing the above process red currant rice is ready.
Medicinal value
The Chinese medicine believes that the red currant rice function: activate blood circulation, eliminate blood stasis, strengthen the spleen and eliminate food. The main diet accumulation, epigastric distension, red and white dysentery; post-partum not exhausted; bruises. The clinical role of red yeast rice in modern western medical research is to treat and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. As we all know, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the first killers threatening the lives of middle-aged and elderly people, and hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia is one of the main causes. The accumulation of cholesterol in the human body is mainly through two major pathways, exogenous, refers to from the diet, accounting for 1/4; endogenous refers to its own synthesis accounts for 3/4, the largest proportion. The metabolic pathway shows. The body's own synthesis of cholesterol needs to go through a series of metabolic processes, the key is hydroxymethyl garcinia cambogia coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) in its reductase (HMG-CoA-R) under the action of the generation of mevalonate, and then further synthesize cholesterol, and the effective ingredients in the red yeast is the HMG-CoA reductase of the competitive inhibitors, which will block the pathway of synthesizing cholesterol, and play a role in treating and The active ingredient in red yeast is a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, which blocks the pathway of cholesterol synthesis and plays a role in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
