Ass hide glue cake is very hard. Is it fake

The high hardness of ass hide glue cake is not necessarily fake, but may be related to the ratio of raw materials, boiling process or storage conditions. The traditional ass hide glue cake is mainly made of donkey hide gum, supplemented with walnuts, black sesame, etc., and the texture is slightly hard, which is normal, but industrial additives or colloid substitutes may also cause abnormal hardness.

Traditional hand-made ass hide glue cake, due to its high content of donkey hide gum and long cooking time, usually presents moderate to hard texture after cooling, and has slight toughness when chewing. This hardness is derived from the coagulation characteristics of collagen in ass hide glue, which is a normal process performance. If the proportion of nuts in the ingredients is high or if auxiliary materials such as yellow wine are added, it will also affect the softness and hardness of the finished product. When purchasing, the cross section can be observed. The cross section of the real ass hide glue cake is amber with auxiliary particles. The fake may be even in color without impurities.

Some inferior ass hide glue cakes will use gelatin, carrageenan and other food additives to increase elasticity, resulting in unusually hard or chewy food. Such products often have a clear sense of gel and lack the unique medicinal flavor of ass hide glue. Improper storage, such as prolonged exposure to a dry environment, can cause the pastry to become hard and firm due to water evaporation. It is recommended to buy products from formal channels. The real ass hide glue cake will be slightly hard after cold storage at low temperature, and it should be able to recover its flexible texture after softening at room temperature.
