(Ben Jing)

[synonyms] Fu Zhijiao (Ben Jing), pen Fu jiao (Tao Hongjing), donkey hide jiao (Qian Jin Shi Zhi).

[source] it is a rubber block made from the skin of equine donkey after dehairing. See the "donkey meat" section for animal morphology.

[method] soak donkey skin in water, change water 1-2 times a day, take it out when it can be shaved, scrape it off, cut it into small pieces, then rinse it with water for 2-5 days, add water to the pot. Boil for about 3 days and nights, take out the thick liquid, add water and fry again, repeat 5-6 times, fry until the gum is extracted, remove the dross. Filtrate the gel (or add a little fine alum), and deposit it. Remove the impurities and filter the gel. Add the appropriate amount of yellow wine and sugar sugar 2 hours before the gel is released. Pour it into the gel tank until it is condensed. Remove the natural mixture and cut the growth cube. Each piece weighs about 1 liang or 2 liang, and the small piece weighs about 1.5 yuan.

[medicinal material] it is a regular rectangular block, usually about 8.5 cm long, 3.7 cm wide and 0.7 or 1.5 cm thick. The surface is brown black or black, smooth and glossy. Slightly transparent to light. It is hard and brittle, with brown black or black cross section, smooth and glossy. The air is weak and the taste is slightly sweet. It is better to be dark, bright, transparent, odorless and not soft in summer.

It is mainly produced in Shandong and Zhejiang. Shandong is the most famous producer and Zhejiang is the largest producer. In addition, it is also produced in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Shenyang and other places.

[chemical composition] it is mainly composed of collagen and its partial hydrolysates, with nitrogen content of 16.43-16.54%, basically protein. Many kinds of amino acids were produced by hydrolysis, including 10% arginine, 7% arginine and 2% histidine. In terms of amino acids, donkey hide gelatin is similar to gelatin, but the former contains more lysine, cystine and tryptophan. It contains 0.75-1.09% ash and 0.079-0.118% calcium.

[pharmacological action] ① effect on blood cells

After a large amount of blood was drawn to cause hemorrhagic anemia in dogs, the red blood cells and hemoglobin increased faster than those in the control group by intragastric administration of Ejiao solution (30 g / day, total 10 days).

② The effect on calcium metabolism

Ejiao can improve the calcium balance in animals. Using Ejiao to gavage and adding calcium carbonate in food can increase calcium absorption and retention in the body and increase blood calcium slightly. This calcium transport may be related to glycine contained in * Jiao.

③ Prevention and treatment of progressive muscular dystrophy

Only 20% of guinea pigs fed with donkey hide gelatin had progressive muscular dystrophy, most of them were healthy and asymptomatic. After the disease has occurred, and then donkey hide gelatin, can also gradually reduce the disease. The author thinks that vitamin E can prevent and cure this disease. The effective reason of Ejiao may be related to its ability to prevent the oxidative damage of vitamin E in feed. The special feed contains a moderate amount of vitamin E, but it also contains animal fat, which is easy to make vitamin E oxidation failure and cause this disease.

④ Other functions

It has been proved in cat experiments that in the critical period of traumatic shock, when it is difficult to save with normal saline, injection of refined Ejiao solution can raise the blood pressure and make it safe. In 4 cases of cholecystography (15-20g, take with water), only 1 case had obvious gallbladder contraction, and the other 3 cases had no change.
