This exposed the fact after surveying donkey-hide gelatin manufacturer of some of Shandong in CCTV " Weekly Quality Report " recently. It is herbal in legendary god of farming it start it state from " through ", classify by top grade donkey-hide gelatin as, being pushed by the public to again.

And reporter finds " the first finance and economics daily " in investigating and interviewing, except the bad workshop concocts " donkey-hide gelatin of question " Must strengthen supervision to close down outside, present production and supervision of donkey-hide gelatin are messy like the part in that is donkey-hide gelatin " medicines or food " Localization clear,indeterminate in duty without being led to the fact by supervision departmented.

"As medicines, no matter raw materials or production process, so long as the quality of medicines goes wrong, enterprises will receive corresponding punishment soon. " The relevant officers of national Bureau of Drugs Supervision say to the staff reporter.

Medicine eats the homology awkwardly

Donkey-hide gelatin is a kind of nourishing food, also called donkey-hide gelatin, have a history of more than 2500 years in our country. As top grade, since ancient times, are used for pharmaceutial use, the 1990 version, 1995 version, 2000 version " pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China " (call " pharmacopoeia " in the following text) Relevant quality stipulates: Regard glue that donkey's cover is boiled as the normal product of donkey-hide gelatin.

But on February 28, 2002, this localization of donkey-hide gelatin began to change. On the same day, Ministry of Public Health released " notice on further standardizing raw materials management of health food ", stipulate in the notice, donkey-hide gelatin is classified as the article list that is both food and medicines. Therefore, there are 10 kinds of donkey-hide gelatin medicines using medicines registered in national Bureau of Drugs Supervision, and big and small donkey-hide gelatin food and health product, arise at the historic moment.

"Donkey-hide gelatin serves as medicines, there are relevant standards to stipulate in " pharmacopoeia ", but as food and health product, there is no national standard at present, the standard of the current food is standards that enterprises make respectively, how much donkey-hide gelatin is contained inside food, enterprises have the final say too. " The technical staff of a donkey-hide gelatin enterprise says to reporters.

"The supervision of the health product was to supervise by health authorities in the past, after making the scheme three times, all parts are all carrying on personnel's adjustment, has not finished adjusting yet at present, the substantive work has not been launched yet, the regulations of regulatory file that and the health product supervises also need further improving, because personnel have not put in place yet, just carrying on investigation of some work at present. The incident of CCTV's report, involve the existing problem of the production ink. " A staff member of local Bureau of Drugs Supervision of Shandong says.

Medicine eats the homology the localization causing donkey-hide gelatin presents awkwardly. Ministry of Public Health reported to according to July 1, 2005 " The report on eating donkey-hide gelatin in the dual-purpose article list from medicine and withdrawing relevant questions " ,"Donkey-hide gelatin eats dual-purpose articles as medicine, can apply for the medicines authentication code according to the use, require to produce according to the management of medicines relevant laws and regulations and medicines good operation regulation of manufacturing enterprise; Also may apply the authentication code of health food, require to produce according to " management of health food " and health food manufacturing enterprise GMP; Can also apply for ordinary food production, relevant laws and regulations manage and " food the intersection of enterprise and common the intersection of hygiene and norm " require regulation that produce carry out " according to ordinary food .

And the relevant department's staff members who make food standard say, donkey-hide gelatin which belongs to the health product is supervised the department to make by medicine, the supervision of the ordinary food is in the charge of quality testing department.

Because the department that the health product supervises hands over the question, the supervision of donkey-hide gelatin is in the ashy area at present, but as the standard of donkey-hide gelatin of food, make by enterprises, this has offered free space for that donkey-hide gelatin made the fake.


How to measure true and false

The " pharmacopoeia " regulation regards glue that donkey's cover is boiled as the normal product of donkey-hide gelatin, the glue that the cow hide is boiled is Gelatinum oxhide. But what a normal product donkey-hide gelatin of differentiation, consumers might not know the facts of the case.

"The national standard of measurement is that the content of amino acid which is for the donkey-hide gelatin composition is measured at present, the content of amino acid that donkey's skin makes into donkey-hide gelatin is taller, and other leather types take second place, can detect metal chromium in the animal leather leftover bits and pieces or leather leftover bits and pieces, have toxicity. But the detection of amino acid does not possess the specificity for donkey-hide gelatin, we have already developed the new detection method at present, can use DNA detection means, can distinguish different skin such as the donkey, horse, ox, DNA of different types animal is different, but not declared the national standard yet at present. " The person of the research institute of a donkey-hide gelatin says.
