However, some unscrupulous businesses adopt the method of fake and real, the pursuit of high profits, in order not to make health leeks, you can distinguish the true and false Ejiao from the following aspects:

Look at the appearance: high-quality ejiao is amber or brown-black, with keratin-like substance, bright color, smooth appearance, no pores or oil holes, no defects in the corners, and uniform thickness. When the packaged ejiao is slapped on the ground and other hard objects, the high-quality ejiao has an even degree of breakage, and the keratin surface of the transverse fault is shiny and transparent. A better quality ejiao will not stick to your hands.

Smell: Real Ejiao has the unique "gum fragrance" of traditional Chinese medicine, while fake Ejiao has a "miscellaneous smell" and even an obvious fishy smell. Since Ejiao excipients have soybean oil, high-quality Ejiao has a faint soybean oil smell, and it will emit a gum fragrance when dissolved in hot water. The main raw material, which is not pure donkey skin, ejiao dissolves in hot water and emits a fishy smell.

Tapping: **The texture is crisp and hard, it will not bend when broken, it is easy to break, there is no pores in the section, and it will break into several pieces if you beat it hard. Counterfeits are tough, not easy to break, and can even bend.

4.Melting: Good solubility after powder dissolves in water, and it is true that it emits a gelatinous fragrance.

5.Tasting: Take a small piece of ejiao and taste it, the real ejiao taste is fragrant. On the contrary, it is bitter and has a fishy smell.
