Why do scorpions need to be cooked with salt water? Scorpions have high medicinal value. However, if you fry scorpions, it is recommended to avoid eating too much oil, which will cause indigestion in the stomach. Although scorpions have a certain nourishing and health care function, they should not be eaten often. Let's see why scorpions need to be cooked with salt water.
Why do scorpions use salt water to cook 1 salt water? How to process scorpions? What's the effect?
The efficacy and function of salted scorpions were introduced in Jiaxian plastic greenhouse scorpion farm, Pingdingshan ecological scorpion breeding base. Scorpion is put into boiling water or boiling salt water during processing, boiled until the whole body is stiff, taken out and dried in the shade in a ventilated place. The main purpose of cooking with salt is to prevent corruption and moth-eaten. Impurities should be removed, salted and dried when dispensing.
In other words, scorpions should be kept dry, clean and salt-free when used. At present, most scorpions used in the market are salt scorpions, whose surfaces are covered with salt frost. In severe cases, salt particles are attached to the whole scorpion, and in severe cases, salt accounts for about 1/3 ~ 1/2 of its weight.
Weight gain by filling the abdomen with foreign bodies: After the scorpions cooked normally are dried, the ventral back collapses, drains and shrivels. Light weight. The abdomen is full of food or foreign objects, the abdomen is full and the back of the abdomen protrudes outward. Heavy quality. Dyeing: After normal drying, the scorpion's head, chest and back should be green-brown, and its back and abdomen should be brown. The dyed scorpion is yellow-green, bright and unnatural.
The efficacy and taboos of scorpions
Efficacy:
Scorpions are often used to treat epilepsy, rheumatism, hemiplegia, mouth-eye distortion, deafness and hand-foot convulsions.
2. Scorpion venom has the effects of expelling wind and detoxifying, relieving pain and dredging collaterals, and has certain curative effect on esophageal cancer, liver cancer and colon cancer.
3. Scorpion is rich in nutritional value and is an important nourishing health care product.
Taboo:
1, it is forbidden for people with blood deficiency and wind and pregnant women. Scorpions are poisonous, so the dosage should not be too large.
2. Eating too much scorpions can cause headache, dizziness, high blood pressure, palpitation, palpitation and anxiety. In severe cases, blood pressure suddenly dropped, breathing was difficult, cyanosis was in a coma, and most of them died of respiratory paralysis.
3. Allergic users may have systemic rash and wheal, and may be accompanied by fever.
4. Scorpions can also cause proteinuria and neurotoxicity, manifested as facial masseter tonic spasm and systemic exfoliative dermatitis. There is skill in peeling scorpions.
Economic value of scorpions
Scorpion is an important medicine for treating wind, which has the functions of expelling wind, relieving convulsion and attacking poison. The medicinal value of scorpion mainly lies in its pharmacological toxin components. At present, there are about 150 kinds of Chinese and western medicines used in scorpion. Scorpion venom is famous for treating pain and is widely used in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Some foreign medical institutions have incorporated their efficacy into the research of overcoming cancer. Edible value of scorpions: In addition to this medicinal value, scorpions also use alcohol as health wine, and there are fried scorpions in high-end hotels in Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou.
Scorpion breeding has the characteristics of less investment, less manpower and mature breeding technology. In the early stage of raising scorpions, the investment in fixed assets is small, and the farm can make full use of the yard and empty shed behind the house. Facilities only need heat preservation and moisture preservation facilities such as pots and bricks. Breeding does not require much manpower, and tens of thousands of scorpions only need half a labor force. This job is more suitable for people who are cautious, resilient and weak.
Why do scorpions need to be cooked with salt water? 2. Cleaning treatment method.
1. Remove impurities, wash and dry (China Pharmacopoeia 1995).
2, such as salt parallel imports, bleaching to slightly salty (not suitable for bleaching in summer). Clear parallel imports, slightly wash and dry (Shanghai).
Prepare herbs by frying.
1. Wine-making: Take scorpion, wash impurities, wash with wine and dry in the sun (Yunnan).
2. Remove impurities from mint, sift the ash, wash the salt frost with mint, take it out, filter and dry the scorpion, and dry it in the sun or at low temperature. Each clean scorpion 100kg and mint leaves 20kg. Mint water method: take mint leaves and add appropriate amount of boiling water, cover them, soak them for half an hour to remove residue (Hunan).
3, wine, licorice to remove impurities, rinse with wine or licorice water, dry. 100kg scorpion, 20kg yellow rice wine or 6kg licorice (Fujian).
4. Wash the scorpion with clear water and soak it in raw onion. Each clean scorpion 100kg, raw onion 10kg (integrated).
5, licorice, ginger system First, put licorice and ginger into the pot and fry until the soup boils, so that licorice is delicious, pour the scorpion into the bath, take it out and dry it. Each clean scorpion 100kg, licorice and ginger 10kg (integrated).
Features of the finished product: the head, chest and front abdomen are flat and oblong, and the rear abdomen is tail-shaped, contracting and bending, and the whole body is about 6cm long. The head and chest are green-brown, with 65,438+0 pairs of short pincers in front and 65,438+0 pairs of long pincers behind, which are shaped like crab pincers, with a trapezoidal carapace on the back, 4 pairs of feet and 7 joints on the ventral surface, and 2 claws at the ends. The front abdomen consists of seven sections, the seventh section is darker in color, and there are five ridges on the rear nail. The back is green and brown, and the back abdomen is brown. There are 6 sections, all of which have longitudinal grooves. The last section has a sharp hooked stinger, and there is no distance below the stinger. The smell is slightly fishy and salty. After processing with wine and licorice, it is slightly alcoholic or licorice sweet.
Sexual taste, pungent and flat meridian tropism; Toxic. Liver meridian.
Indications: calming wind, relieving spasm, attacking toxin, dispersing stagnation, dredging collaterals and relieving pain. Can be used for infantile convulsion, convulsion, wind-drinking, hemiplegia, tetanus, rheumatism, headache, ulcer and lymphoid tuberculosis.
Usage and dosage: 2,4 ~ 4,5g, or made into pills or powder. External use: grinding and dressing.
The prescription told the prescription that scorpions, scorpions and scorpions all gave birth to scorpions.
The processing effect of raw scorpion is toxic, and the effect of expelling wind and dredging collaterals can be increased after wine processing. Licorice and ginger can reduce toxicity. Mint itself has the function of expelling wind and detoxifying, so mint processing can not only reduce its toxicity, but also produce synergy.
Chemical constituents mainly contain scorpion venom. In addition, it also contains cholesterol, ammonium stearate, trimethylamine, betaine, taurine and glyceric acid. Fatty acids include palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Inorganic substances mainly include arsenic oxide, barium oxide, cadmium oxide, chromium oxide, copper iodide, mercury oxide, manganese oxide, strontium oxide and elements such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium, bismuth, sodium, aluminum, iron, silicon, phosphorus, lead and tin.
Modern research
1, technological research: processing at the place of origin: first, soak the live scorpions in 1% salt water for 4-6 hours, pick them up, rinse them with clear water for three or four times until the sediment is washed away, then boil them in salt water for 3-4 hours (the salt content of scorpions is 75 grams per 0 kg and 5 kg), and then add scorpions in the water to cover them. Some people first soak in 20% light salt water, the ratio of salt to scorpion is 2: 8, and cook for 6~8 hours.
Boil for 3~4 hours, and the salt content is 15%. Or put it into water after fishing, scald it with boiling water after spitting out the soil, take it out immediately, dry it at 80 ~ 90℃ until it can be crushed, put it into cartons, seal it with plastic paper and store it in a cool, ventilated and dry place. Scorpion is cooked with salt water. Because the soaking time is long and the effective components are lost, the steaming method is used instead. Put the scorpion into a container, add 0% or 5% salt water to wash it thoroughly, drain the internal and external sediments, and then add the above salt water to soak the scorpion after 2-3 hours.
Soak for 2-3 hours, take out, mix 500 grams of scorpion and 90 grams of refined salt, soak for about 1 hour, then steam for 45 minutes, take out and dry. In recent years, it has been found that the scorpion processed with alum has antiseptic effect, but the scorpion processed with alum has high alum content, which is not only astringent and difficult to take, but also has side effects such as heartburn, murmur and vomiting, which affects the clinical efficacy. Therefore, scorpion should not be processed with alum. Ancient and modern people at home and abroad have explained unscientific and "salt water system" from different angles.
There is no need to object to the traditional processing method of "brine boiling" of scorpion, and it is proposed to use "far infrared radiation" drying method instead of "brine boiling" to improve or ensure the curative effect of scorpion.
2. Quality study: The processing method and quality of scorpion were discussed with the contents of moisture, total ash and total nitrogen as indicators. It is considered that the moisture content, ash content and total nitrogen content of processed products should be controlled below 65438 00%, 30% and 65438 05% respectively. The shorter the cooking time, the better, which can prevent the loss of effective components and ensure the internal quality of scorpion.
3. Clinical research Scorpion can be divided into fresh water scorpion, salt water scorpion and live scorpion due to different processing methods. Scorpion with brine is mainly used in clinic. Through the analysis of salt content, it is considered that it is more appropriate not to exceed 15%. The vast majority of clinical medicinal materials are powder users. In order to ensure the quality, powder and capsule can be considered clinically. Firstly, the salt content of scorpion was determined. If it is too high, the content can be controlled by screening combined with boiling, and then dried at low temperature.
Crushing in ST- 170-B high-speed pulverizer into fine powder with particle size of 100 mesh, and then sealing the powder in a clean container for external use and direct use when making pills; If the decoction is taken orally, it can be encapsulated, which not only masks the fishy smell of the medicine and is convenient to take, but also reduces the dosage, saves the medicinal materials and exerts the drug effect.
Why do scorpions have to be cooked with salt water? Scorpions salted with salt have no effect. Scorpion's sting is in the tail, that is, the back abdomen. Soaking scorpions in salt water can make them spit out impurities in their stomachs and reduce toxins, but it will not destroy protein in the body.
Therefore, after eating scorpions, their protein enters the human body and is regarded as an invasive pathogen by the immune system. The immune system releases specific immunoglobulin, which combines with invasive proteins to generate many chemicals, causing allergic symptoms such as skin redness, diarrhea, headache, sore throat and asthma.
You should remember the following tips:
First, prevent food intolerance. Some game is rarely eaten at ordinary times. It should be taken in moderation to avoid food intolerance caused by eating too much, leading to bloating and diarrhea.
Second, prevent allergies. Some wild vegetables contain photosensitive substances, which will cause photosensitive reactions after eating. Outdoor activities should be avoided as much as possible. Stay away from allergies. Some people are sensitive to dust mites, catkins, pollen or animal hair, fungi and insects. Go out for an outing to minimize contact.
Third, when you have allergies, please don't use drugs indiscriminately. Go to the hospital in time and treat under the guidance of a doctor.
