In this regard, people in the industry joked that the nutritional value of dried sea cucumbers below 2000 yuan per catty is not as good as pork.

recently, Ms. Huo is going to buy some dry sea cucumbers and return home to their parents for the Mid Autumn Festival. In order to get cheap and inexpensive sea cucumbers, Ms. Huo has visited several large supermarkets, gift shops and seafood markets. But, Ms. Huo is more and more confused. She took a fancy to a sea cucumber produced in Yantai, which sells more than 3000 yuan a catty in high-end gift shops, but sells only 1000 yuan in seafood market. "It looks almost the same. I really don't know where to buy it." She complained to the reporters.
in the evening of September 9th, a reporter visited several sea cucumber counters in a large supermarket. Reporters noted that one of the sea cucumber is full of color, black and bright, the four rows of thorns on the back are thick and straight, and the producing area is marked as Dalian. Sales staff told reporters that this dry ginseng sold 5180 yuan per catty, 30 per catty.
, in a high-end gift shop in Jiefang Road, a reporter found that a kind of dry sea that was sold here was similar in appearance to reporters in the mall, and the origin was also marked as Dalian, but it sold 3500 yuan per Jin. "How much cheaper is your sea cucumber than the shopping mall?" the reporter asked. The shopkeeper explained that the channels of delivery were different.
10, on the morning of 10, in a market stall, the boss said to the reporter that his sea cucumber was produced from Dalian, a genuine Liao Shen and only 1800 yuan per Jin. Reporters carefully observed that the dried sea cucumber head, color, thorns and other characteristics are similar to 5180 yuan a pound of sea cucumber. "This is really made in Dalian? Why is it so cheap?" the boss told reporters that they had a sea cucumber farm in Dalian, so they were cheap.
at another stall in the market, the reporter said that he was sent to buy the group. The boss pulled the reporter aside and whispered, "you come to me to buy it! I have all the sea cucumbers here!" the reporter said the cheapest, the boss immediately said to provide 500 yuan and a jin of dry sea cucumbers.
[b] (>) price analysis [/b]
[b] 1 jin dry sea cucumber cost price = fresh sea cucumber unit price x (22-24 Jin) processing cost [/b]
why is the difference price of dry sea cucumbers with similar shape? Is it true that the price of the purchase link is caused by the layer price?
at present, the most nutritious sea cucumber in China is the sea cucumber Lu Shen from Yantai and Liao Shen from Dalian. From the shape difference, it is divided into the sea cucumber and the light ginseng (also called the sea cucumber). Among them, the nutritional value of the sea cucumber is much higher than that of the light ginseng. Besides, the factors such as culture mode, age and processing cost also determine the price of sea cucumber.
"as long as in any one link fraud, poor quality sea cucumber will appear at low price signs, tempting consumers." Li Baoye, director of the Ji'nan Food Industry Association marine food Specialized Committee, told reporters. How much is the normal price of dry sea cucumber? Li Baoye gave a reporter an account. In the traditional processing methods, the sea cucumbers needed 22 Jin to about 24 Jin of sea cucumbers for each 1 jin of qualified sea cucumbers due to the different seasons, the outgoing rate and the water quality environment. Therefore, 1 kg dried sea cucumber cost price = fresh sea cucumber unit price x (22 Jin -24 Jin) processing costs. "Apply this formula, in accordance with the current market price of fresh sea cucumber into the market, a jin of dry sea cucumber cost at about 3300 yuan, lower than the price of sea cucumbers can not eat." Li Baoye told reporters.
Li Baoye's statement has been endorsed by many sea cucumber businesses, and one of the large sea cucumber sales managers said, "eating sea cucumbers under 2000 yuan is better than eating some pork. This kind of sea cucumber is mixed with many fake things, and nutrition has been destroyed. " The salt content of two sea cucumbers of [/b]
[b] two kinds of sea cucumbers was nearly 4 times [/b]
10 days at 10:00. The reporter filled two containers with two capacity of 300 milliliters filled with pure water, and then took out one of each of the dry sea cucumbers of about 5000 yuan per Jin and about 2000 yuan per Jin, and soaked them into two containers respectively. . Around 18:00, two sea cucumbers were all sent through. Among them, the color of pure water impregnated with high price sea cucumber has no obvious change. The pure water immersed in low price sea cucumber becomes pale yellow and has a pungent odor. After calculation, the reporter found that the salt content of clear water is 16%, the salt content of light yellow liquid is up to 72%, the salt content of dry sea cucumber with about 2000 yuan per Jin is nearly 4 times of the dry sea cucumber with about 5000 yuan per Jin.
why is the salt of low price sea cucumber so much salt? . He added that adding salt to sea cucumbers is the most common form of counterfeiting. The counterfeiters dry the fresh sea cucumber first, and then burn out a pot of boiling water with a temperature of over 150 degrees Celsius, saturated with salt, and soak sea cucumbers for 3 to 4 days, then dry, which is called "collision collision". So repeated "hit the cylinder" four or five times, a pound of fresh sea cucumber can absorb a catty of salt, in other words, two Jin dried sea cucumber can soak a pound of salt. "The" cylinder "of the sea cucumber looks big, full, and even more, some of the formalin 'beauty', bright color, looks like a good sea cucumber, in fact, the nutrition has been lost, eating also crisp hair hard. Li Baoye also confirmed to reporters that the business owner said that he was not empty. In addition to salt, some people also add saccharin and alum to sea cucumbers. For every cylinder, the profits of processors increase a lot. He also said.
the business user told reporters that, in addition to adulteration, there were other varieties of Indonesian red ginseng and Antarctic ginseng, which were dyed black and brown in poor nutritional value and were sold as sopopoptera. In addition, "North ginseng and southern culture" is also a common trick. The breeds of Bohai Bay are raised in the north and then transported to the south to grow in the south, thereby shortening the growth cycle and increasing the output, but their nutritional value is much worse. "
and another businessman revealed to reporters that he had seen a more downright counterfeiting technique: first, the shrimp flavor, sodium gluconate, salt and water were blended, stirred evenly, poured into the wood mold, stuck out a "sea cucumber" and then soaked in the cold water to shrink it into the size of the sea cucumber and finally cut it with shear. The knife is cut from it and disguised as a good true sea cucumber bottling sale.

[b] sea cucumber in addition to salt can not add [/b]
the fraud in the face of sea cucumbers, the relevant departments have no regulatory measures? Li Baoye told reporters that from October 1, 2009, the Ministry of agriculture, the "People's Republic of China fisheries industry standard dry sea cucumber" Type implementation. This standard divides dried sea cucumbers into four grades according to their quality. It clearly stipulates that in addition to salt, dried sea cucumber can not contain any other additives.
but Li Baoye said that this standard stipulates that the maximum salt content of dried sea cucumber should be less than or equal to 40%, and some operators will be doped with this standard. "In Japan and South Korea, the government forbids operators to mix salt into sea cucumbers. In fact, dried sea cucumber should be adulterated with salt and completely dry. "
[b] (>) expert recruitment [/b]
[b] to select the sea cucumber to identify [/b]
how to identify the adulteration in the sea cucumber when choosing the dry sea cucumbers? Li Baoye introduced some tips.
1, distinguishes the cucumbers from the light ginseng. Observe whether there is a thorn in the body, if there is no thorn, the gloss is brighter, so it should be light ginseng.
2, dry sea cucumber processed by regular process, its color and lustre is black gray or gray, the shape is complete and correct, the individual is uniform, the size is consistent, strong and shiny, the piercing point is straight and complete, the incision is small and neat, the foot under the abdomen is dense and clear, the body surface is salt free frost, the attached charcoal grey or grass and wood ash are less, No impurities and odors are the upper products.
3, dried sea cucumber is hard to separate, light weight, percussion with charcoal and elastic. Poor dried dried sea cucumber is easy to break off, salt crystals or impurities fall off, hand weighing is heavy, knocking or throwing inelastic and echo, salt content is above 60%.
4, transversely cut dry sea cucumber, its body is clean and salt free crystallization, no visceral, sediment and other impurities, the thickness of the section is uniform, above 3 - 5mm, the cross section is dark brown, bright and bright. The adulterated dried sea cucumber has obvious salt crystallization or impurity in the body. The colloid layer is thin and the thickness is uneven and even broken, forming a hole, and the tissue is aging, which belongs to the inferior quality products.
5. If dried sea cucumber's openings and bars are black, it may be stained sea cucumbers.
6, when buying dried sea cucumbers, do not blindly pursue cheap prices. We must combine the dry rate of dried sea cucumbers to make a comprehensive comparison. A pound of dried dried sea cucumber can produce 10 pounds of sea cucumbers, and a pound of dried dried ginseng can not be more than 5 jin after the water is released. It can't even be eaten.
