Side of traditional Chinese medicine (109) immune life honey

The effect of honey and function

Honey, the bees are insects to be picked from flowering plants flower nectar made from honey in the honeycomb. Bees taken from plants flower water content is about 80% of the honey or secretions, in his second in the stomach, in the body under the action of invertase after 30 minutes of fermentation, returned to the hive spit, hive temperature often remain at about 35 ℃, over a period of time, water evaporation, become a water content less than 20% of honey, storage to the hole in the nest, wax seal. Honey ingredient in addition to glucose, fructose also contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. 1 kg of honey contains 2940 calories. Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, low temperature crystallization can be created and generate the crystallization is glucose, do not produce crystal part mainly fructose.

Usage: honey, it is best to use below 40 ℃ warm water or cold water diluted.

Chemical composition

ingredients

Honey bee, different environment, there were significant differences in their chemical composition. Its main composition is fructose and glucose, the content of total accounted for about 70%, still contain a small amount of sugar (< 8%), malt sugar, dextrin, gum and nitrogen compounds, organic acids (about 5%), moisture (16% ~ 25%), essential oil, pigment, wax, natural spices, plant debris (especially the pollen grains), yeast, enzymes and inorganic salts, etc.

Citrus honey

Honey only commonly contain trace vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, biotin, choline, etc. In the nitrogen compounds are protein, peptone, amino acids, etc. Still contain invertase, catalase, amylase, oxidase, reductase, such as enzymes, and contain acetylcholine. Ash content of magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus and trace elements of iron, copper, manganese, nickel, etc. Organic acids contains citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, etc.

Fresh ripe honey, transparent or translucent gel for viscous liquid, some honey placed under low temperature, can be gradually condense into crystals. The proportion of honey is 1.401 ~ 1.443.

Honey color from white to deep amber, difference is bigger, because nectariferous plant variety, honey have different flower fragrance.

The basic function

Honey is a kind of nutritious food. Honey, fructose and glucose is easy to be absorbed by human body. 1 kg ripe honey calorific value of 3280 calories.

Honey for some chronic diseases have certain curative effect. Secret honey for heart disease, high blood pressure, lung disease, eye disease, liver disease, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, nervous system diseases, gastric and duodenal ulcer disease Have a good auxiliary medical effect.

Insomnia in oral 1 tablespoon honey a day before you go to bed (join) within 1 cup of warm boiled water, can help fall asleep as soon as possible. At the same time, the enzymes in the honey and minerals, help enhance immunity. [14]

The main classification

According to the bee species

Bee species resources of existing in our country are mainly composed of Italian bee and the bees. They gather honey respectively called meaning of honey and honey honey (soil).

According to the source

We know that bees make honey, it collected the \"processing\" sources of raw materials, mainly is the honey, but in nectariferous lack, bees gather nectar or honeydew so we will be divided into natural honey and honeydew honey honey.

Natural honey

Natural honey bees gather nectar from brewing. They derived from plants flower nectary inside or outside the nectary, we usually mean by honey is a natural honey, and from different nectariferous plant, is divided into a flowering plant as the main body of single nectar, such as linden honey, litchi honey, sting HuaiMi, clover honey, rape, Chinese date honey, wild honey osmanthus-scented honey, longan honey, tender nectar, etc.

Bees while at a certain period only collecting nectar from a plant, however, most of the honey often have several types of plants or nectar, pollen, the southern end of litchi flower then have longan flowers, rape the end and then have a clover blossom, so will contain litchi honey in longan honey, milk vetch honey there will be a small amount of the early rape honey ingredient. In general, honey is a main source of one or more of the following flower. Generally speaking, a single nectar is the dominant nectariferous plant pollen percentage, for example, in the northeast of linden honey, lime tree pollen should be dominant, juicy honey. But there are also many plants bloom at the same time and take the honey, because it has two or more pollen mixed together, generally called miscellaneous nectar, or \"hundred flowers\" honey.

When people do not understand honey plant before, only to produce season divides into the honey honey honey, Xia Mi spring, autumn and winter honey.

Honeydew honey

Honeydew honey is from the bee honey on the leaves and stems of plants or insects metabolites - made from honey dew, aphids suck the juice through the function of the digestive system, learned of the protein and sugar, then the excess sugar and water excretion, sprinkled on the branches and leaves of plants from bees, taking it as raw material to honeydew honeys.

According to the physical state

Honey under normal temperature, atmospheric pressure, with two different physical state, namely liquid and amorphous (regardless of the honey is stored in the nest honey, or separated from the nest room) in general, just separated honey are liquid, clear liquid after, after a period of time, place, or under the low temperature, most of the honey to form solid crystal, so people usually put it into liquid crystallization honey and honey.

Crystallization honey due to the size of the crystal is different, can be divided into big crystal grain, small grain crystallization and crystal, crystal grain diameter gets bored with 0.5 microns for grain crystallization; Particle diameter is less than 0.5 microns for small size crystal; Crystal particles is very small, seems to be homogeneous, called a greasy or grease crystallization.

According to the mode of production

According to different production mode, production of honey can be divided into separate honey and honey nest, etc.

The separation of honey

Separation of honey, and separation of heart or squeezing honey, honey is honey in the honeycomb card out, put in a YaoMi machine, through the role of the centrifugal force roll out, and the filtering of honey, or use the squeeze separated from the honey comb method brand honey and filtering. This fresh honey in a transparent liquid state, some honey after a period of time will crystallization separation crystallization, such as rape honey out soon. Some honey or over a period of time in the low temperature crystallization occurs.

The nest honey

Nest honey, honey, also called grid using the biological characteristics of bees, in the hive of normalization, brewing out honey, nest nest with honey honey honey has both separation effect, but also has the characteristics of honeycomb is a known as the most perfect, the most high-end natural honey products. People according to the flow of nectariferous plant honey and honey bees to block the spleen behaviour, can be produced according to the format of different single honey, a nest box can be divided into four range, 8, 12 pieces. Experiments prove that as long as the bee is enough, no matter size box, honey bees are able to build brand, and block. The faster the single honey piece area, the greater the block. Sold on the market the nest honey is made of non-toxic transparent hard plastic grid, different sizes and shapes, or honey all of the cover sealing good brand with a knife cut into a certain shape of nest honey honey piece of hard plastic box, first make a certain format of frames, then put the small pieces of comb foundation embedded in cells, into a nest box after add honey, the bees in the lattice builds the nest spleen, storing honey, block into the nest honey, honey nest with double and single, brewing, conform to the specifications of the nest honey, remove the ripe honey nest blocks, boxes, packaging, which become the goods on the market the nest honey.

According to the color

With honey bee plant species, different color difference is very big. Both in single flowers and a mixture of honey, have a certain color, and is often pale colour of honey, its good taste and smell. Therefore, the color of honey, can be used as the basis for classification of honey, also can be used as a measure of honey quality indicators. It is generally believed that light color most in terms of quality is better than the dark honey honey. Honey in the international market is divided into special honey (single nectar, such as mixed linden honey and honey, honey, there are color difference between, it can be divided into white, white, white, shallow water amber, light amber, amber and deep amber 7 levels, the basis of its distinguish color is PuFang colorimetric instrument, according to PuFang colorimetric instrument readings classification is as follows:

Nest honey honey - piece of white water 8 MM

8 to 17 MM, white

17 ~ 34 MM white

Light amber 34 ~ 50 MM

Light amber 50 ~ 85 MM

Hu pearl color 85 ~ 114 MM

Deep amber 114 ~ 140 mm

Honey plants

According to the honey plants can be divided into single nectar and miscellaneous nectar (honey)

Single nectar

From different nectariferous plant, according to the honey plants can be divided into a flowering plant as the main body of single nectar, such as basswood, litchi, longan honey honey honey, orange, loquat honey, rape honey, honey HuaiMi, clover honey and Chinese date honey, wild honey osmanthus (Ling), thorns honey honey, motherwort and so on.

Miscellaneous nectar (honey)

Many kinds of plants flowering and take the honey at the same time, in which a single plant nectar's advantage is not obvious, called miscellaneous nectar or best nectar. According to the bee plant has the advantage of classifying honey honey color, aroma, taste, health care benefits are relatively stable, so is more scientific classification method.

Related to the original

Honey from the doctors don't record: jaggery, birth wu valley, heyuan valley, and all the rocks. Color such as white cream is good. Tao hongjing... : jaggery cliff honey also namely, mountain rocks of intercropping. Small alkali, honey color green red, taste food upset. The bee black fly. And wood honey to eat the honey, the hanging branches. Color the tea-house. Empty tree and others are raised for the white, and rich taste. \"Compendium gleanings\" : the author according to the ordinary honey also have wood, there is also the author in the soil, to dry in the north, more than in the bachelor, south to wet, more than in the wood, the over all the land, its honey one also. Xuanzhou with honey, the color yellow taste bitter, hot, Lord bee bit of coptis flower. West cool have pear nectar, the color white as coagulate fat, also make the pear flower, each out one by one. Figure by \"compendium\" : there are two kinds of food honey, a mountain forest tree room, a family as a nest of sill adoption. The bee is very small and light yellow, thick honey and mei mei. \"Of materia medica\" : all who try the honey to burn red chopsticks inserted, put forward that the gas is true, the smoke is false.

The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine thinks, honey taste gansu, 2 by the spleen and stomach, yiqi, runchang purge can fill. The spring weather is changeable, the weather suddenly cold and warm, people would be easy to catch a cold. Because honey contains a variety of minerals, vitamins, and the function of clearing lung detoxification, therefore, can enhance human immunity, spring is the most ideal tonic. Therefore, in the spring, if every day can drink 1 ~ 2 spoon honey, with a cup of warm boiled water a blunt or milk, have nourishing effect to the body.
