[Explanation] A few days ago, the new product of "Pulpated Yogurt" rolled off the production line, and the pulp of "or degradable uric acid" has once again entered the public's field of vision. Can the Pulpated Water that has been empowered by scientific research alleviate the gluttony and the worries of illness?

Recently, a reporter from China News Agency came to the School of Life Sciences of Lanzhou University to find answers.

　　In Lanzhou, there is a saying that is similar to the city (rumor), that is, you often drink syrup and do not suffer from gout. Is it because certain probiotics in the syrup are working? Through research, it is indeed found that the syrup is There are many strains that can degrade uric acid, so the strain we extracted is called JL3, which has a better effect (degrading uric acid).

　　[Explanation] The syrup is made of cabbage, celery, radish, etc. as raw materials and fermented with yeast.

Ming Dynasty physician Li Shizhen recorded in his "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the syrup had the effect of "regulating the middle and replenishing qi, promoting harmony, relieving cough and eliminating food, and improving urination".

　　In March 2021, the research team led by Professor Li Xiangkai of the School of Life Sciences of Lanzhou University published the research results of "Lactobacillus in slurry water may reduce uric acid" in the well-known journal "Intestinal Microbiology" in the field of microbiology.

　　In December of the same year, Li Xiangkai succeeded in researching and developing the "Pulpated Yogurt".

In this regard, he explained that the "slurry yogurt" is not to add slurry to the yogurt, but to extract the probiotic JL3 from the slurry and add it to the yogurt to make a product.

　　Many friends may ask whether this thing can be used to treat gout. In fact, we can’t come to a very certain conclusion about this. Probiotics play a role. The most important point of it is that it must be in the human intestine. Only by colonizing inside can it be effective, so this varies from person to person.

　　[Explanation] Li Xiangkai said that as a delicacy that can be made by ordinary people, syrup cannot be accepted by more people due to geographical reasons.

As a researcher, deciphering the effectiveness of the slurry and its derivative products will help increase the visibility of the slurry.

　　Pulp water is now produced in the form of various households, its strains, and its components are more complicated, and there is no uniform standard.

For example, in Lanzhou City, the main drinker is raw jelly, and some places also drink cooked jelly.

So, we chose to develop a product with a unified standard.

(Development) Pulp yogurt also hopes to promote Gansu's special cuisine to the whole country.
