How to distinguish the real Ejiao from the fake How to distinguish the real from the fake

At a glance at the surface characteristics, the surface of the first Ejiao is black-brown, the rubber block is very flat, the color is uniform, and there are no oil holes and pores. The surface of the fake Ejiao rubber block is usually brown or blue-yellow, some have oil holes, air holes, etc., and the rubber block is not very regular.

The second is to look at the texture, the texture of the first Ejiao is hard and brittle, put the glue block on the desktop or hard object and gently pat, it will be broken, into countless small pieces, and the fake Ejiao is not easy to break.

If you buy it at a regular pharmacy, will it be fake? Personally, it is recommended that drugs should be bought from formal channels.

First, look at the packaging:

The word "Ejiao" on the packaging of Dong'e Ejiao has an obvious sense of concave and convex feeling, the packaging box is not covered with bright film, and the printing batch number is not obvious to the hand touch. There are 4 pieces of rubber blocks, and the batch number and expiration date of the product on the aluminum foil are embossed and pressed on one side of the aluminum foil, and the packaging printing is very clear and exquisite.

2. Check whether there is a pull ring design in the box

After opening the tin box package of the genuine "Dong'e Ejiao", there will be an iron pull ring in the upper right corner, and you can check whether the pull ring can be pulled apart after purchase.

3. Smell the fragrance.

**Ejiao has a gum fragrance, you should smell the gum block directly, it is best to break it into powder and smell it, and fake Ejiao has a fishy smell, which is very different.

There are several ways to distinguish the authenticity of Ejiao.

"One look".

**Ejiao is an amber or brown-black rectangular flat block, with flat block shape, neat corners, shiny surface, and the edge of the Ejiao block is translucent when the light is seen through.

"Two pieces".

Ejiao is brittle in texture and fragile when patted with your hands, and small pieces of ejiao will melt within half an hour when put in hot water, and then refrigerated in hot water will form jelly.

"Three smells".

When ejiao is dissolved in hot water, it will emit a gum fragrance, while the taste of fake ejiao is fishy.

Ejiao is especially suitable for people with yin deficiency (often manifested as dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nose, dry mouth, irritability, poor sleep, etc.) and lack of qi and blood.

Ejiao into medicine:

In the boiled Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood, add some crushed ejiao blocks to let the ejiao melt into the Chinese medicine juice, which can enhance the effect of the Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood.

Ejiao porridge:

Take an appropriate amount of rice or millet and cook it; Take an appropriate amount of ejiao and put it in hot water, dissolve it, add it to the porridge and cook it slightly, stir until it cooks. It has the effect of nourishing blood and kidneys and strengthening the body.

Honey Egg Ejiao Paste:

Take an appropriate amount of ejiao and put it in hot water to dissolve, add 1 egg and 1 spoon of honey, put it in the refrigerator after cooking to make it paste-like, and take 1 spoonful of warm water on an empty stomach every day. It is especially suitable for people with qi deficiency and cough.

Ejiao should be as yellow as amber, as black as lacquer. The real one has no skin odor, and it is not soft in summer. Fire test:

Take a small sample and burn it in the crucible, it bursts at first, then expands and melts and emits white smoke, with a strong aroma of sesame oil, and the residue after ash is jet black, loose, in the form of a sheet or clumpy, and does not bond with the crucible; Water test: boil and dissolve, the solution is light brown-red, turbid, and white substances are precipitated, there are oil droplets on the liquid surface, take the gel and dissolve it in water, the liquid is clear, no turbidity; Slapping: Holding and slapping the tabletop vigorously, the fragment section is brown, translucent, and no foreign matter is true, if the slapping is soft but not broken, it is suspected to be a counterfeit.

The first counterfeit product of Ejiao is kraft glue, which is hard and not easy to break, has a strong turbidity odor when burned, and there are no oil droplets on the liquid surface of the water test solution; the second is miscellaneous skin glue, which has the aroma of soybean oil when burned, and the water test solution is dark gray-brown-red, and there are a few oil spots on the liquid surface; The third is bone glue, the surface is opaque and dull, there are small holes caused by bubbles, irregular wrinkles on the side, hard and not easy to break, and the gas is slightly smelly; Fourth, gelatin, smooth and bright, brittle, slight or ink-like odor. After the fire test, it becomes a white flaky powder and does not stick.

In addition, the Ejiao solution does not agglutinate after standing for 4 hours, and the counterfeit solution condenses into a paste.

In addition, the appearance of turtle gum and deer gum is similar to that of ejiao, and it should also be distinguished: turtle gum, the surface is brown and slightly greenish, with a yellow "oil head" on it, and it is as clean as amber and hard in light view; Deer glue, the surface is black-brown, translucent to light, one side has a yellow-white porous thin layer, brittle and fragile, the section is reddish-brown, with a vitreous luster.
