A kind of donkey-hide gelatin beads and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides donkey-hide gelatin pills and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that a donkey-hide gelatin block is heated and softened to become into grains of 0.4-0.6 mm; dehumidification, sterilization and drying are performed to reach moisture of 13%; dehumidified and sterilized clam meal is evenly mixed with donkey-hide gelatin grains according tothe ratio of 1 to 2, then the mixture is heated to reach 90-110 DEG C, so that the donkey-hide gelatin grains and the clam meal are fully mixed and evenly heated, the donkey-hide gelatin grains become pills of 1.0-1.5 mm after heated expansion, irregular donkey-hide gelatin pills and the clam meal are screened out, and the donkey-hide gelatin pills are obtained. The prepared donkey-hide gelatin pills are smaller, higher in purity and better in effect, have more comfortable taste, basically do not adhere to the clam meal, meanwhile a production line is adopted for production in the whole process, and the production efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine, in particular to a preparation process of donkey-hide gelatin beads of decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine. [0002] technical background [0003] The traditional method of producing "Ejiao beads" is based on the regulations on page 176 of the 2015 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The production of "Ejiao beads" in Chinese medicine decoction pieces is to take the donkey-hide gelatin and dry it until soft, cut it into dices of about 1 cm, and scald it with clam powder. Beads, take out when there is no sugar core inside, sieve off the clam powder, and let cool. This product is spherical in shape, brownish-yellow or off-white in surface, with white powder attached, light in body, crisp in quality, hollow or porous in cross-section, light yellow to brown in color, faint in smell, slightly sweet in taste, and the water...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The donkey-hide gelatin beads produced by the method and technology on the Pharmacopoeia have the following defects: 1. The donkey-hide gelatin beads have relatively large particles, and the particle diameter is generally 6-7mm. Too much, the purity of donkey-hide gelatin beads will naturally be affected, and the absorption effect is poor when people take it

2. There are too many clams sticking to the donkey-hide gelatin beads, and the particles are relatively thick

When people take it, they will feel that there is a lot of deepness in the container of brewing donkey-hide gelatin beads, and the mouthfeel is poor when taking it, which limits people's acceptance

3. There are more clam powder on donkey-hide gelatin beads, and the coarser particles make the product unattractive in appearance and poor in color, which is not conducive to packaging

4. Traditional donkey-hide gelatin beads are basically made by hand. Each pot can only fry 200-300g, and the production is not easy to increase.

[0005] During the actual production process, it was found that if the clam powder is too fine during the heating process, the clam powder will form mist in the equipment and escape from the equipment, and the entire workshop will be filled with dust, which will affect the health and environmental protection of the workshop staff; Inhomogeneous heat, resulting in insufficient heating of donkey-hide gelatin blocks, affecting the quality of donkey-hide gelatin blocks

Secondly, the production process is to bury the donkey-hide gelatin block in the clam powder when the donkey-hide gelatin block is heated. When the temperature of the clam powder is 70-90°C, it is not easy to soften the donkey-hide gelatin block because the temperature is too low. The donkey-hide gelatin block is carbonized, so the temperature control is very strict in the actual operation process, which makes the operation more difficult

At the same time, the operations of burying donkey-hide gelatin blocks in the clam powder are all manual. Although the single output has been improved, it is still impossible to realize the flow-type batch production, so the production efficiency is low.
