On January 7, 2021, the National Health and Medical Commission issued Announcement No. 9 of 2020, officially listing cicadae fruiting bodies, sodium hyaluronate, and Lactobacillus kumi subsp. Jianzhiyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. provided legal support for the processing of related compressed candies, solid beverages, substitute teas and other foods.
The recommended consumption of cicadae fruiting bodies is ≤3 g/day (calculated as dry product), infants, pregnant women, lactating women, and those who are allergic to edible fungi are forbidden to eat. In the process of food processing, the daily consumption of food can be determined according to the above regulations in combination with the amount of cicadae fruiting bodies added.
Cicada, also known as Cordyceps, is a high-quality Cordyceps. Studies have found that Cicada has a significant two-way immune regulation effect, can selectively kill cancer cells, and significantly inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells and other physiological effects.
Studies have shown that the pure powder of cicadae fruiting bodies can significantly enhance humoral immunity through antibody-producing cell detection and serum hemolysin experiments. The artificially cultivated cicadae fruiting bodies are safe and non-toxic as medicinal and edible fungi, and can improve the immune organ indexes such as spleen and thymus in mice. In view of the low public awareness of cicadae, its food development, processing and utilization have great potential. market.
The significance of the cicadae fruiting body being listed as a new resource food raw material:
1. Enriched the categories of Chinese food raw materials;
2. Traditional food raw materials have "identity";
3. Completion of international standards;
4. It provides a basis for "Dezhou Jianzhiyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd." to process cicada fruiting body food.
