- Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
GH/T 1443-2023 standard is applicable to powdered products made from Cordyceps fruiting bodies through drying and crushing. It is the first time to establish a three-level quality grading system in the supply and marketing industry:
Key indicators Special grade (≥10000mg/kg) First grade (5000-10000mg/kg) Second grade (≤5000mg/kg) Cordycepin content 10000 5000 5000 Moisture (≤) 9% Ash (≤) 7%
Microbial control requirements
The standard strictly stipulates that the total colony count is ≤30,000 CFU/g, and Salmonella/Staphylococcus aureus must not be detected. The detection method refers to the GB 4789 series of standards:
Actual application case
A biological enterprise in Jiangsu adopted high performance liquid chromatography (NY/T 2116) When determining cordycepin, attention should be paid to the temperature control of 80℃ water bath extraction during sample pretreatment. A deviation of ±2℃ will lead to a difference of up to 15% in the test results.
Analysis of the Evolution of Standard Technology
Compared with previous local standards, this document:
- Added cordycepin as a core quality indicator
- Clarified the three-level classification system
- Introduced the requirements of GB 2763 pesticide residue limits
Implementation suggestions
- Manufacturers should establish a raw material traceability system, focusing on the harvesting season of Cordyceps fruiting bodies (the content decreases by 30-40% in the rainy season)
- It is recommended to use nitrogen packaging technology to control the moisture content to ≤7%, which can extend the shelf life to 24 months
- The temperature and humidity need to be monitored during transportation (RH≤65% is recommended)
