What is the function of dried starfish? Its nutritional value is not high

Sihaiwang: we are familiar with starfish, but we seldom eat them. Living starfish is rarely used because of its little meat. But dried starfish can be used in soup, and its medicinal value is also very high. What's the function of dried starfish? What's the nutritional value of dried starfish? Today's editor will show you.

I. The role of dried starfish

1. Antithrombotic effect

The EPA of dried starfish has antithrombotic effect in vivo and in vitro, and can enhance the fibrinolytic ability, shorten the time of euglobulin dissolution, and inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen.

2. Function of blood substitute

Dried starfish can provide human plasma substitute. The clinical trials of Japanese medical experts have proved that gelatin extracted from starfish can be used as plasma substitute. Starfish's plasma is a good medicine for treating tumor, which has good effects of expanding blood volume, improving microcirculation, and participating in metabolism of the body; it can enhance the immune response of the body to tumor cells.

3. Anti ulcer effect

The fresh starfish was dried and crushed into fine powder to prepare suspension.

It has obvious inhibitory effect on acute gastric ulcer.

It can not only reduce the area of gastric ulcer, but also promote the regeneration of gastric epithelial cells and ulcer healing.

4. Tonifying the kidney

Starfish yellow can significantly increase the number of white blood cells and red blood cells caused by kidney deficiency caused by over exertion, and has the effect of Tonifying the kidney, beautifying the Yang and strengthening the body.

II. Nutritional value of dried starfish

Compared with sea cucumber, the quality and value of dried starfish have the following characteristics:

1. Starfish are carnivores that eat oysters, abalone, sea cucumber, crabs, scallops and so on, with strong vitality

Starfish, also known as Starfish (commonly known as haipanche), belong to the echinoderm family with sea cucumber and sea urchin, but their eating habits are different.

Sea cucumbers often feed on seaweed in the sea bottom sediment, while starfish mainly prey on slow-moving marine animals, such as oysters, abalone, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, crabs and scallops, which are particularly vigorous.

2. The regeneration ability of starfish is very strong

Tear a living starfish into pieces and throw it into the sea. Each piece will soon grow out of the lost parts, and grow into several complete new starfish. This amazing regeneration skill makes it a trivial matter for it to lose its arms and legs.

Scientists found that when a starfish is killed by the same species, it will immediately separate the injured part from the escape, and at the same time, the body's backup cells are activated. These cells contain all the genes of the lost part of the body, and cooperate with other tissue cells to regenerate the lost wrist or other parts.

This kind of extremely strong regeneration ability is better than that of sea cucumber.

3. Dried starfish has complete nutrients and high content of active substances

The viscera of starfish is the gonad of starfish, commonly known as starfish yellow. Starfish yellow is rich in protein (15.46%) and fat (10.97%), and contains a certain amount of carbohydrates and minerals.

The content of protein and fat in starfish yellow is higher than that in sea urchin yellow and sea cucumber. Starfish yellow has a complete range of amino acids, of which essential amino acids account for 47.33%.

The proportion of essential amino acids is reasonable. There are also abundant tau (taurine, up to 7.5 & mu; g / mg) in starfish yellow.

Therefore, starfish yellow is a kind of high quality protein source. In addition to starfish yellow, starfish shells also contain a wide range of amino acids. The composition of amino acids in starfish shells conforms to the characteristics of collagen amino acids.

Collagen is extracted from starfish shell, which can be used to make sea cucumber substitutes. In particular, starfish yellow contains active zinc that can be directly absorbed by the human body, making it a good zinc tonic.

4. The nutritional value of dried starfish is comparable to that of sea cucumber

The dried starfish yellow also contains a certain amount of copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and other inorganic elements needed by human body;

The fat in the gonad (starfish yellow) also contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are 11.14% and 6.25% of the total fatty acids, respectively.

In recent years, studies on the pharmacological action and clinical application of EPA and DHA have found that EPA and DHA have antithrombotic, hypolipidemic, improving biofilm fluidity, antitumor, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, which can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, known as human essential fatty acids.

5. There are slight spicy and slight toxicity in starfish

Starfish fished from the sea are not suitable to be eaten directly without being treated with depharmaceous and detoxification, which is easy to cause adverse reactions. They must be processed in accordance with scientific methods before being eaten.

6. Eat well and enjoy a healthy new taste

With the continuous development and improvement of modern science and technology, many experts and scholars focus on the development and research of marine animals such as starfish, which is really a great talent and fruitful. Many research results show that starfish is a kind of animal with rich nutrients and high value of physical fitness, comparable to sea cucumber.

It can not only be used in medicine, but also can be eaten directly.

In some coastal cities of Shandong Province, starfish has been sold by supermarkets, and has been served as a family of healthy food.

All star hotels in Dalian and Japanese and Korean restaurants also put frozen starfish on the exhibition stand as a brand dish of nutrition and health care, which has won the favor of consumers.

This kind of frozen starfish is also given as a gift by the prescient leaders.

It can be seen that the quality and value of the original ecological starfish, which has been wronged for n centuries, has finally been revealed and will be recognized, accepted and liked by the Chinese people as well as the sea cucumber.
