Ginseng processing products can be divided into red ginseng, molded red ginseng, sun-dried ginseng, all-needed sun-dried ginseng, fresh-keeping ginseng and active ginseng according to processing technology.
Red ginseng is made of high-quality fresh ginseng by scrubbing, steaming and drying. Molded red ginseng is made from high-quality red ginseng by shaping, softening and pressing with a special mold. Red ginseng and molded red ginseng are steamed at high temperature during processing, so that hydrolase, amylase and maltase in ginseng roots are denatured by heating, which not only prevents the hydrolysis reaction of ginsenoside, but also prevents the hydrolysis and saccharification of amylase in ginseng roots, which is beneficial to the maintenance of nutritional components.
Sun-dried ginseng is made of fresh ginseng, which is scrubbed and dried at 40 ~ 50℃. All-beard sun-dried ginseng is made of fresh ginseng, which is washed and dried or dried at 40 ~ 50℃. When the sun-dried ginseng and all-beard sun-dried ginseng are processed, the activity of hydrolase is inhibited under dry conditions, so that the ginsenoside is prevented from being hydrolyzed and the nutrient components are not lost; Ginseng loses moisture, and in a dry state, it is not easy to be infected with microorganisms such as mold to prevent mildew.
@ @ @ Buy common sense
There are many kinds of ginseng processed products, each with its own characteristics and great quality differences, but consumers can buy products with confidence and satisfaction as long as they grasp the following points:
(1) Don't choose ginseng products with serious drainage, firmness and falsehood. There are two possibilities for this phenomenon whether it is red ginseng or sun-dried ginseng: first, ginseng is short in age; Second, improper management in the processing process leads to desizing, drainage and shrinkage. Such products are not only greatly reduced in nutritional value, but also easy to absorb moisture and become soft, moldy and deteriorated in a humid environment.
(2) Don't choose ginseng whose roots are cracked and cracked, and whose roots are small and dull. The rupture of ginseng roots leads to the overflow of serosity and the loss of nutrients; Exogenous and endogenous, it is easy to absorb moisture and soften in a humid environment, which is not conducive to preservation. For red ginseng, the nutritional value depends on the shape and color of ginseng roots. Therefore, when buying, you must choose products with large ginseng roots, complete ginseng shapes and luster.
(3) Pay attention to the packaging method and complete label identification of products. Products packaged in sealed or vacuum can avoid moth-eaten, mildew and deterioration due to their good isolation from the outside world. Generally speaking, the labels of the products of regular enterprises are relatively complete, so you can buy them with confidence.
(four) to choose the products of larger enterprises. Due to the strict quality control of materials, advanced production technology and equipment, high management level of enterprises and guaranteed product quality.
