Production method of Hengfeng Ge powder

Raw material selection → cleaning → peeling → slicing → color protection → rinsing → steaming → cleaning → drying → crushing → sieving → finished product

(1) Raw material selection: Select undamaged fresh kudzu root, clean it with tap water, and remove dust and debris attached to the surface

(2) Slicing: Cut the peeled kudzu root into slices of a certain size using a vegetable slicer. The purpose of slicing is to shorten the drying time, and the thickness, length, and width of the slices are all 1 cm. The slicing process should be completed as quickly as possible to control the occurrence of enzymatic browning during the slicing process

(3) Color protection: After cleaning and peeling the kudzu root, use a mixture of 0.35% citric acid and 0.30% sodium metabisulfite to protect the color for 1 hour

(4) Steaming: Color protection inhibits non enzymatic browning, but browning still exists due to the presence of oxidase in kudzu root. Therefore, it is necessary to heat the enzyme and steam for a period of time. After steaming, kudzu root is easy to maintain its color and the whole powder is easy to brew. Steam for 16 minutes

(5) Drying: Use drying equipment to dry to ensure the hygiene of the product. The drying time can be determined according to the size of the kudzu root slices, and the final moisture content is required to be below 6%. Dry in a 60 ℃ blast constant temperature drying oven

(6) Grinding and packaging: Grind the dried kudzu root slices with a traditional Chinese medicine grinder to achieve a fineness of around 80 mesh for kudzu root powder

How to distinguish the authenticity of Hengfeng Ge powder<69. However, due to the relatively complex and inconvenient nature of the above detection methods, the following introduces some simpler identification methods that are easier to operate

1. Under normal circumstances, pure kudzu root powder has a white appearance with crystalline luster, followed by pale yellow kudzu root powder in terms of quality, while gray white kudzu root powder often falls short in terms of production technology and hygiene conditions

2. When a small amount of pure kudzu root powder is put into the mouth, the kudzu root powder will quickly and naturally melt in the mouth, giving a cool feeling and ginseng flavor, such as Guangxi Jin Fen Jiang kudzu root powder. Even without adding sugar or honey, good kudzu root powder can still taste a light sweet aftertaste without any other odors. However, kudzu root powder with a sour taste and a fishy odor is not suitable for purchase

3. Pure kudzu root powder is brewed with warm water to produce a milky white milk like appearance. After brewing with warm water, it is heated or brewed with boiling water above 90 degrees Celsius to produce a light yellow transparent gel like appearance with high adhesion. It can be lifted with a spoon and flow down evenly in a linear shape. However, when brewed with warm water, it is easy to form a transparent paste, and after brewing, the color turns white and it is difficult to form a linear flow. Most of them are adulterated kudzu root powder with other starches or even talcum powder added
