Multi-indicator Quality Analysis of Ginger Based on Amino Acids and Heat of combustion from Three Different Origins
Three different origins of ginger were selected as the research objects,and the heat of combustion,combustion stability,fat,crude fibre,ash,trace elements and amino acid contents of ginger were determined to evaluate the quality of ginger by multiple indicators.The results showed that the heat of combustion of ginger from three origins ranged from 10 014.83 to 22 424.44 J/g,and the order of the heat of combustion was as follows:Shijiazhuang,Hebei>Linyi,Shandong>Hekou County,Honghe River,Yunnan,and the order of combustion stability was as follows:Linyi,Shandong>Hekou County,Honghe River,Yunnan>Shijiazhuang,Hebei;the crude fibre content(%)of three types of ginger ranged from 11.50%to 13.47%in the following order:Honghekou County,Yunnan>Shijiazhuang,Hebei>Linyi,Shandong;the fat content(%)ranged from 1.58 to 2.41%in the following order:Shijiazhuang,Hebei>Linyi,Shandong>Hekou County,Honghe,Yunnan;the ash content(%)ranged from 8.12 to 10.75%in the following order:Shijiazhuang,Hebei>Hekou County,Yunnan>Linyi,Shandong.The order of multiple indicators of heat of combustion,combustibility(combustion stability of ginger),fat content,ash,crude fiber,trace element content,and amino acid content was:Hekou County,Honghe River,Yunnan>Shijiazhuang,Hebei>Linyi,Shandong.This study establishes a multi-index analysis and evaluation system for three types of ginger,providing strong scientific basis for large-scale development of ginger resources and ginger classification research.
