even day, the reporter visited supermarkets, drugstores, farmers market and other places, found the problem wolfberry, these wolfberry color is bright red, on the paper towel, a gently wipe can drop a layer of orange. People in the industry say that half of the market in Ji'nan is shoddy inferior wolfberry.
citizens: 70 yuan to buy 2 jin of poor quality wolfberry
a few days ago, to the Lantau Peak market to catch up with the big collection, bought two Jin wolfberry back, who knows to get back to let the son say is fake. A few days ago, the citizen Feng Lao Han met his heart and soul. When it came to the market, he saw that the wolfberry sold by the mobile vendors was big and bright, thinking that it was the best quality wolfberry. Once again, the price of wolfberry was 30 yuan a Jin, and he bought more than two Jin.
but for Feng Lao han to buy wolfberry home, his son, when the color of wolfberry is wrong, is bubbling in the water, and the water immediately becomes like tomato juice, and the wolfberry tastes bitter. My son immediately checked the Internet and found that a Chinese wolfberry was dyed, and I knew I bought inferior wolfberry. Feng Lao Han said, but when he returned to the market to find hawkers, the street vendors had disappeared.
Feng Lao Han told reporters that he bought more Chinese wolfberry than the common wolfberry, and the color was bright red. The peddlers claimed to be wolfberry from Ningxia. At that time, the peddlers also sold another wild Lycium barbarum at a price of 60 yuan a Jin. The color of the wolfberry is dark red and much smaller. But I think the better the quality is, the better it is. Feng Lao Han said.
purchase: two kinds of Lycium barbarum products vary greatly.
in a market of farm produce, a wolfberry is placed before a dry goods stall. Reporters saw that wolfberry is not big, but its color is very bright, many sticky together, and smells sweet. The reporter rubbed the wolfberry with a paper towel and left orange red. The stall said that wolfberry was 60 yuan a Jin from Ningxia.
reporters taste the Lycium barbarum, the taste of the pulp is sour, but soon there is a lot of bitterness. The stall owner said that wolfberry would be bitten with its mouth, and it would not be bitter to soak or use medicine. The reporter then bought one or two wolfberry.
then, the reporter visited the drugstore and supermarket, and the price was between 50 yuan and 100 yuan per catty. In a supermarket, promoters also said that wolfberry came from Ningxia, a catty of 76 yuan. But the reporter saw that the wolfberry sold in the supermarket and the previous journalists were obviously different from the wolfberry in the farmers' market. The supermarket's Wolfberry color was dark red and dry, the particles were clear, and did not stick together. The wolfberry seen in some pharmacies is much the same as that in supermarkets.
identification: colourful Lycium barbarum is
, so, this two sample phase difference of Chinese wolfberry, which is true which is really false? The reporter took two kinds of wolfberry to a Chinese medicinal material identification personage identification. After careful identification, the expert said that the colourful Lycium barbarum bought by reporters on the farmers' market is tricky. The normal wolfberry should be this dark red, with less seeds and more flesh. The taste of the flesh is sour and sweet. If you don't bite the seeds of wolfberry, you won't feel bitter.
the person also analyzed the price of wolfberry according to the reporter's purchase. The wolfberry in the farmer's market may not be dyed with the inferior wolfberry, but the color of the illegal traders in order to make the normal wolfberry better. And according to the taste and viscosity of Lycium barbarum, it is suspected that the wolfberry is mixed with sugar, because the moisture absorption of sugar makes the Lycium barbarum so sticky.
saying: Sulphur fumigating wolfberry sulphur dioxide exceeding the standard
when interviewed, Song Xigui, the chief pharmacist of the Ji'nan municipal Pharmaceutical Inspection Institute, said to the reporter that about half of the wolfberry in the market is at present the inferior wolfberry, which is sold for small vendors and individual clinics. Song Xigui said that the good color of Chinese wolfberry is dark red, mostly from Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places, which are produced from Qinghai's Wolfberry big, especially the best in Ningxia wolfberry. Poor wolfberry comes from Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces. These wolfberry fruits are small and have many seeds. In order to make these inferior wolfberry products better, illegal traders have been using sulfur smoked for a long time to stain wolfberry. Hebei inferior wolfberry purchase price is only ten yuan a kilogram, and if sold according to Ningxia wolfberry, it can sell at least 60 yuan a kilogram. The effect of sulfur fumigation is preservative and preservative, with sulfur fumigated wolfberry, it can make the spots on the surface of the wolfberry and the mildew
light, and the color becomes more red. Song Xigui said that in addition to dyeing wolfberry, there is also a kind of Lycium barbarum on the market to add sugar, so as to increase the weight of wolfberry. Sugar coated wolfberry fruit is clutching with hands, and it smells sweet and greasy.
Song Xigui's statement was also confirmed by Professor Ning, Professor of food and biological engineering, Qilu University of technology. Professor Ning said that last year, she had done an experiment with a Chinese wolfberry produced from Hebei, which showed that the content of sulfur dioxide in the samples of Lycium barbarum was several times more than the national standard. "Sulfur dioxide is a chemical product that is used to dye wolfberry. It will be very harmful to human body after eating." Professor Ning said.
indeed, sulfur dioxide is a serious hazard to the human body. Du Huizhen, director of the Nutrition Department of Qianfo Hill hospital, said that the use of sulphur not only destroyed the nutritional components of wolfberry, but also contained heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury, as well as sulfite and other carcinogens in Chinese wolfberry, and had damage to the liver and kidney after being eaten.
raise a wake up
buy wolfberry don't overly "color"
how to distinguish true and false wolfberry? Song Xigui said, the citizens try to buy the dark red wolfberry, do not buy too bright, the more bright the more the more problems. The smell of sour wolfberry, which is smoked with sulphur, is bitter. It can smell before buying. The natural wolfberry has natural aroma. The tip of the normal Chinese wolfberry is mostly yellow or white, while the stained wolfberry fruit is red and dark brown with sulfur. The stained wolfberry is moist while the normal wolfberry is dry and full.
