It usually blooms in the third year after planting. The flowering time of honeysuckle is concentrated, about 15 days. Timely picking is the key to improve the yield and quality of honeysuckle. Generally, the first crop of flowers is picked in the middle and late May, and the second, third and fourth crops are picked one after another after 1 month. The harvest time must be before the bud opens. When the bud turns from green to white, the upper part expands, and the lower part is turquoise, the picked honeysuckle is called Erbaihua; When the buds turn completely white, the picked flowers are called white needles within one day, and the quality of the buds picked from early morning to before 9 am is the best, so when the dew is dry, the immature buds will not be damaged, and the honeysuckle has a strong aroma and good color retention. Early maturity, poor quality and low yield; It's too late to reduce the medicinal value.

Second, processing

After picking, it should be treated in time to prevent compost fermentation. It can be dried or dried.

(1) fuck. Spread the flowers thinly on the drying table to dry. Don't flip it at will, or it will turn black or rot. It's best to dry it on the same day. It's gray and the color is good.

(2) The initial drying temperature should not be too high, and should be controlled at around 30℃. After drying for 2 hours, the temperature can be raised to about 40℃, and the flowers will gradually emit steam. After 5 ~ 10 hour, keep the room temperature at 45 ~ 50℃ for baking 10 hour, and most of the water can be discharged. Finally, raise the room temperature to 55 ~ 60℃ to make the flowers dry quickly. Drying has better quality and higher yield than air drying. But be careful: you can't turn over when baking, and you can't stop baking halfway, otherwise it will go bad.

The specific treatment method is as follows:

1. Immediately after picking honeysuckle, dry it in the sun or in the shade, preferably in the same day or two days. Put the picked buds into the drying tray, the thickness depends on the intensity of sunlight, generally 3 ~ 6 cm is appropriate, and the sunlight is strong, so it should be spread thicker to avoid drying too fast and deteriorating quality. If the sun is weak and the shop is too thick, the flowers will turn black easily, and they will not dry that day. At night, set up the flower basket and leave some gaps to let the water out. Don't flip it at will in the first sunshine (never use your hands) to avoid the color turning black. Wait until it's 80% dry. After drying in the sun, it is compacted and sealed in the dry place. However, at this time, the flower core is not completely dry. It will be in against the tide in a few days, and then it will be aired for half a day to a day. Residual leaves and impurities will be removed by air separation, then packaged and stored in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture and moths. In addition, flowers can also be laid directly on the beach or stone, among which red sandstone is not against the tide, and dried flowers are the best.

2. If baking occurs in rainy days, it should be dried in time. If it is too late to dry or dry, it should be smoked with sulfur and spread indoors, so that it will not be moldy and deteriorated within a week. Because drying is not affected by external weather, it is easy to master the temperature, which is higher in output and better in quality than drying. According to the experiment in Pingyi county, Shandong province, the rate of first-class flowers dried in the sun is as high as 95%, and the rate of first-class flowers dried in the sun is only 23%. Therefore, it is considered that drying is an effective measure to improve the product quality in honeysuckle production, and baking and drying can effectively avoid the shortcomings of low yield, poor quality, long time and great influence by weather. Generally 12 ~ 20 hours can be completely dried. You can't turn it by hand or other things when drying, otherwise it will turn black easily. When it is not dry, you can't stop drying, which will cause thermal deterioration.

3. Other processing methods In addition, honeysuckle can be processed by the following methods:

(1) Sun drying after fresh frying: immediately fix the collected fresh products, that is, put a proper amount of fresh products into a clean hot pot, stir fry evenly until the flowers wither evenly, and then take them out and sun dry them or put them in a cool and ventilated place. When frying, the heat must be strictly controlled to avoid being burnt.

(2) Drying after steam treatment: loosely put the flowers in a steamer with a thickness of 2-3 cm, or spread them on a bamboo basket with this thickness, put them in a wooden steamer in layers, and calculate the steam covering time in the boiling water pot. Depending on the size of the container, steam for 3-5 minutes, then take it out to dry or dry. Steam treatment should not take too long to prevent flowers from ripening and changing their taste. This method increases the water content of flowers, so it should be aired or dried in time. If it is dried in the shade, the quality of the finished product is poor. If there is a little green in the collected flower buds, they can be spread loosely in a ventilated place for 12 ~ 24 hours, so that the green buds can be steamed for a short time without affecting the color of the finished product.

(3) Drying after sulfur fumigation: spread the flowers loosely on a bamboo basket with a thickness of about 5 cm, and put them into a fumigation furnace or a wooden barrel in layers, with loose and uniform flower layers and transparent gaps between layers, so that sulfur smoke can be dispersed evenly, and fresh products can receive the same degree of sulfur, then seal and smoke with sulfur for 2-3 hours ... > >

Question 2: How to make fresh honeysuckle into dried honeysuckle, that is, how to process and dry it.

Question 3: How to dry honeysuckle? Lonicera japonica is dried by vines.

For details, please consult fengqiu county, Xinxiang City, Henan Province.

Because fengqiu county is the largest and most orthodox honeysuckle planting base. Many people grow this. Our family bought this.

The common drying method is to spread honeysuckle thinly on the flat ground after the vine is dried, and then spread it out when the sun is shining. You can sunbathe from 10 to 2 pm. It's not good to be too hot at noon, so the color of honeysuckle will turn yellow. The temperature can be controlled at 25 to 32 degrees. ..

Reminder: The most important thing is to pay attention to the heat during the picking of honeysuckle vines. Too big or too small fire throat will directly affect the color and quality of Erhua. In rural areas, villagers usually make a room specially for Fujierhua.

Question 4: The processing method of honeysuckle can directly make tea.

Question 5: How to process fresh honeysuckle can be dried or dried. Details can be discussed privately.

Question 6: How can the honeysuckle planted in our family be processed to make tea? We must first pick honeysuckle (the golden flower is immature) and dry it before making tea.

Question 7: Where does honeysuckle processing come from? Do you have a lot there? If the quantity is large, it is best to build a drying room to dry. If the quantity is small, you can spend hundreds of dollars to buy a microwave oven. Dried flowers are the most valuable

Question 8: How is dried honeysuckle made? Honeysuckle picking and processing method 1, flower picking time

The flower picking time last year was from 9: 00 to 12. Dew or rainy days are not suitable for picking. If there is drying equipment, you can also pick it. The flowers picked in the morning are bluish white, heavy, easy to dry, rich in fragrance, high in commodity output and good in quality. Flowers collected after noon and on cloudy days have poor quality and low processing rate. From the development process of flowers, habits can be divided into green shoots, green and white, big white needles, silver flowers and golden flowers. The upper part of the bud expands and grows into a rod, which is better when it is bluish white, commonly known as the big white needle. At this time, the flowers are about to open, which is the best picking time and can be processed into fine products.

2. Selection method

When picking, use bamboo baskets or rattan cages, not cloth bags, plastic bags or cartons, so as to avoid fermentation, discoloration and mildew of enzymes and protein in the body. Buds and flower tissues are very tender, so be sure to handle them with care, and avoid pinching them with your hands, so as not to affect the quality.

3. Drying and drying

Immediately after harvesting, dry it in the sun and dry it in sunny days. Dilute with bamboo paper or straw mat, the thickness is 1 cm, and it can't be turned over. When it's 70% dry, put it under the lamp to dissipate heat and sweat, and then dry it. To the extent that flowers are not brittle or rotten. It must be dried at a low temperature in rainy days, first at a low temperature of 35℃-40℃ for 2-3 hours, and then at a temperature of 50℃ until it is 90% dry without damage. Drying rooms should be built in large planting areas and producing areas to prevent mildew and improve the quality of goods. Generally, 6-7kg of dried flowers is 1 kg of goods.

4, processing classification

Processing must start from picking flowers and drying, and it is best to dry them separately according to quality, and pick out impurities at any time to produce more first-class products. The national standard of honeysuckle commodity is divided into four grades.

First-class products: the goods are dry, the flower buds are in a holding shape, the upper part is thick and the lower part is thin, slightly curved, the surface is blue and white, and the corolla is rough and hard, with a sense of topping; The smell is fragrant and the taste is sweet, sour and bitter. Flowers, broken buds and yellow stripes shall not exceed 5%. No black stripes, blackheads, branches and leaves, impurities, insects and mildew;

Second-class: basically the same as first-class, with only 5% flowering. Broken bud yellow stripe does not exceed10%;

Third-class: the goods are dry, the buds are rod-shaped, thick on the top and thin on the bottom, slightly curved, the surface is green or yellow-white, the corolla is thick and hard, and it has a top feeling when held. The smell is fragrant and the taste is sweet, sour and bitter. Flowers and blackheads shall not exceed 30%. No branches and leaves, impurities, moth-eaten, mildew;

The fourth category: dry goods. Buds or open flowers, regardless of color. No more than 3% branches and leaves, no impurities, no moth and mildew.

In the near future, the supply of futures is in short supply, which is generally treated as mixed level. However, we should pay attention to the quality of planting, take GAP as the principle, build an industrial base, build genuine brand-name goods, and improve word-of-mouth and efficiency. Wonderful Use of Honeysuckle Honeysuckle belongs to Lonicera. Caprifoliaceae. As a common Chinese medicine, unopened flower buds and rattan leaves are used as medicine. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, dredging meridian passage, promoting blood circulation, cooling wind and dissipating heat, and is widely used to treat acute fever and surgical infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, wind-heat cold, erysipelas, acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, joint pain, carbuncle, abscess, urticaria, mumps, bacillary dysentery, etc. It has antibacterial, antiviral, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, cholagogic, liver protecting, blood lipid reducing, antioxidant, antifertility, bidirectional immune system regulating, and central nervous system exciting pharmacological effects.

The research results of the national "Sixth Five-Year Plan" project sponsored by Chongqing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine show that the functional components produced in Flos Lonicerae have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and have inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Streptococcus A, Streptococcus B, Streptococcus acidophilus and Shigella dysenteriae, as well as all malignant sores, erysipelas, furuncles, suppurative dysentery, lymphadenitis, arthritis and dysentery. (Ming) Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica talks about honeysuckle, saying, "Treat all kinds of rheumatism, all kinds of bad sores of Myrica rubra, and clear away heat and detoxify." China Pharmacy Dictionary records honeysuckle dew, which is cooked with flowers, slightly inferior to dried flowers, and its flavor is rich and sweet. Replace tea with Xia Yue. Long-term use will prolong life, and there is no sore poison when feeding children.

According to the research results of the national "Sixth Five-Year Plan" project undertaken by Chongqing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the contents of chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid and volatile oil in Lonicera macranthoides in Jiangjin are more than twice as high as those in other varieties. & gt
