Background Technology

[0002] Frog oil (also known as snow frog oil) is a traditional tonic food with high nutritional value, rich in protein, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and various trace elements. Traditional frog oil processing methods often rely on chemical reagents for deodorization or high-temperature treatment, which easily destroys nutrients and leaves noticeable fishy residue, affecting taste and flavor. Furthermore, the lack of precise control in cleaning and drying processes leads to high impurity rates, easy oxidation, and difficulty in maintaining color and shape. In addition, existing technologies such as supercritical extraction and high-temperature sterilization have low energy utilization rates and high production costs. Traditional packaging methods are also ineffective in effectively isolating oxygen and microorganisms, resulting in short shelf life and easy spoilage.
