1, beef tendon is rich in proteoglycan and collagen, fat content is also lower than fat meat, does not contain cholesterol. Mainly structural components, distributed in cartilage, connective tissue, cornea and other matrix, followed by joint synovial fluid, eye vitreous and other mucus, lubricating effect. In the matrix, proteoglycans and collagen are connected in a specific way, giving the matrix a special structure.

The matrix contains a large amount of hyaluronic acid, which binds to hyaluronic acid receptors on the cell surface and affects biological behaviors such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation. It can enhance the physiological metabolism of cells, make the skin more elastic and resilient, delay the aging of the skin, for anti-wrinkle beauty is more effective.

2, the cow's foot tendon has the effect of strengthening the tendons and bones, the waist and knee weakness has a good dietary treatment, helps the growth and development of young people, slowing down the development of osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly women.

3, modern molecular biology research cow tendon is very rich in matrix scleroprotein. Extracellular matrix scleroprotein is a class of biological macromolecules with special structure and function. It consists of collagen, elastin, proteoglycan and glycoprotein. In epithelial cells and endothelial cells under the ECM to form the basement membrane. Abundant in connective tissues such as animal tendons.

Expanded Information:

Select fresh beef tendon, the requirements of the color white Bright, no residual carrion, transparent meat, dense texture, elastic. If it is yellow, soft texture, no elasticity, indicating that the tendon is too long to buy.

There are many kinds of beef tendon, yak is the best, yellow cattle is second, again is buffalo, strong cattle is the best, calf and old cattle is second. When purchased cow's feet tendons are deep-fried in a pan, they are found to be heated thick paste that turns into a ball when cooled.
