  【Overview】
  Betula plants known. About 100 species worldwide, mostly in the north temperate zone, a few types of distribution to the frigid zone. Made in China, 29 kinds. Among the most widely distributed Birch, from the northeast, north to the northwest and southwest have. There are also red birch, Betula large, black birch and so on. Birch shrub or small tree usually, relatively hard wood, poor corrosion, moisture deformation, can be used for plywood and other timber joinery; bark extract can be pyrolysis tar, but also souvenirs; ornamental trees. Birch is a deciduous tree or shrub. More bark smooth, mostly thin-bedded, peeling and splitting. Alternate, simple leaves, leaves usually with glandular dots below, the edge of a heavy toothed, veins pinnate with petiole. Flowers unisexual, monoecious. Catkins. With a membranous wing nuts, fruit leathery shell. Seed solitary, with membranous testa. Birch happy light, shade intolerant. Hi more humid, the soil not strict, in the more fertile brown forest soil grow well. Sprouting ability, self-coppice after cutting. Fast-growing, in the middle of the local site conditions, the annual growth of up to 1 meter. Around 15 years strong. Afforestation or PLANTING can live. Live fewer weeds and planting soil in more humid areas, with mature seeds collected in autumn with the broadcast. Need to use warm water soaking the seed nursery, 40 to 50 cm height can Chupu afforestation. Plantation in the burned area should be _select_ed, small felling and forest edge or clearing slopes as well.

  】 【Distribution and characteristics of
  In China, almost all the national distribution, and to the northeast, northwest and southwest mountain area the most. Among them, the white birch (b.platyphy-lla, see photo) the most widely distributed, from the northeast, north to the northwest and southwest have. In addition, red birch (b.albosinensis) mainly distributed in North China and Northwest China, Shuo Hua (b.costata) and black birch (b.dahurica) mainly in the Northeast and North China. Yue Hua (b.ermanii) narrow range, mainly grown in Northeast China Changbai Mountain and large and small Mountains and other places, Changbai dry high altitude mountain birch forest composed music unique landscape. Weeping birch (b.pendula) mainly distributed in the Tianshan and Altai. Mountain birch (b.delavayi) mainly in Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet.
  Birch happy light, shade intolerant. Hi more humid, the soil not strict, in the more fertile brown forest soil grow well. Bud very strong, self-coppice after cutting. Small, winged seeds easily spread. Clear-cutting in the forest slash and burned on the ground, birch can be used as pioneer species invaded rapidly, forming pure forest; but after the formation of birch, some spruce and other shade tolerant species such as the formation of mixed forest can gradually invaded; Finally, they gradually replaced by those who are later. Birch is a fast-growing species, juvenile fast growth medium in the local site conditions, annual growth of up to 1 m high. Generally 50 years after entering senescence. Around 15 years of solid, more solid and strong. Large and small in not obvious.

  】 【Birch juice
  A collection of birch juice
  Birch 16 cm in diameter or more generally to the juice, juice taken every year in spring time is appropriate, about mid-March to mid-April, the flow is proportional to the diameter, 20 cm above the birch juice a day and night can be 20 kg. Juice of about ten days of a mining, long-term flow of juice may cause the phenomenon of dead birch trees, the juice to the best sunny side. United States, Canada, the Czech certificate in accordance with the normal impact of mining little birch juice can be taken l0-20 years. Birch juice plant with an annual output of up to 31-150 kg, the amount of juice per hectare yield 20-60 tons. Domestic and international experience shows that mining production 1-3 years in diameter, wood structure, nutrients and plant-like birch generally had little effect, and even adopted the growth of birch is only 4 years decreased by 20%. South Africa adopted a place of birch juice observed 3-5 days later than the germination, the other no significant change. Woodworking hand tools to drill the juice as the most simple, 40-60 cm in height from the ground is appropriate, between two trees to the south, or drilling, the largest flow. 1-1.5 cm in diameter, depth 6 cm is appropriate, guided by more than drilling fluid equipment nontoxic plastic tubes and pots and other food containers such as juice, do take control [7.20].
  2 birch juice chemical nutrients:
  Birch juice is rich in nutrients. To birch juice, for example, which was 1.31% dry matter content, reducing sugar content was 0.43%, 454.0% threonine, glutamic acid 8789.1 mg / l, glycine 744.9 mg / l, alanine 1895.6 mg / l, Valine 934.1 mg / l, isoleucine 313.9 ms / l, leucine 566.1 mg / l, tyrosine 369.3 mg / l, phenylalanine 474.4mg / l, histidine 2712.7 mg / l, Lysine 325.3 mg / l. Birch juice is very rich in trace elements, beneficial to humans of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese and zinc were higher, while copper, lead and trace elements is very low. Yun-Fang Wang, Xu Guoying and other forest on the plains of the spring Burqin mining the chemical composition of birch sap were studied, and its dry matter content of 1.36-1.42%, ph value of 5.69-6.44, total nitrogen 4.5-9.5mg/l00rnl, A total of 20 cyano acid 30mg/l00ml, 1.1-1.4% of total sugar content, mainly fructose and glucose, total acid 25-55mg/l00ml, vitamin c, b1, b2, pp and so on. And rich in trace elements copper, iron, zinc and manganese. Particularly rich in a semi-metallic element selenium. Sap of the Qinling Hua Chen Tieshan nutrients were determined and analyzed, the total sugar content was 0.813%, 0.03% protein, vitamin b1, b2, vc, ve, 16 amino acids and potassium, calcium. Magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, strontium, germanium and other 15 kinds of mineral nutrients and trace elements. h. kallio reported -5 Finland Birch Liquid early April the highest concentration of glucose and fructose in early, at 5-8mg/ml, while birch solution by the end of March -4 Xinjiang mid-up to the total concentration of glucose and fructose 7.00-13.84mg/ml. Birch sap Xinjiang acute tests, ames test, micronucleus test, sperm abnormality test showed no lethal toxicity of Xinjiang birch sap and mutagenic. See birch juice is a safe, nutritious and healthy food materials.
  3, the storage and preservation of birch juice:
  Birch juice rich in sugar, protein and other nutrients, microbial contamination can easily lead, leading to spoilage. Birch juice shortly after harvest preservation, can be used with a simple ice-cold shaded shed or the basement, filled with ice and snow pit inside. Temperature of not more than 5 ℃ cases, fresh juice of 3-5 nights. Loading hopper must be cleaned and disinfected after each use. To avoid tannin discoloration vc, must use wax seal.
  Low dry matter content of the birch liquid (typically 0.5-1.2%), and are to be collected and are in the forest, so to storage, transport and use to bring certain difficulties. Jiang Desen, Weizai Yu, Li Qingsheng were birch juice concentrates such as Technology, birch juice after filtering through multi-level, concentrated into the vacuum evaporation pan birch juice concentrate obtained the relative dry matter content of ≥ 3, ≥ 6, ≥ 9 % of the three sizes, easy storage and transport birch juice.
  Birch sap as a natural material, their pollution and isolated microorganisms were identified, found, natural birch juice and drinks in the number of different bacteria, yeasts, molds and actinomycetes of pollution. Among them, mostly mold, yeast, bacteria, followed by actinomycetes least. Microbial contamination in the distribution of clear, based on several control study compared the method of microbial inactivation of the acid treatment which ph2.0 not inactivate all microbial contamination, and 90 ℃ using heat sterilization methods or membrane filtration technology board achieve the desired results. Chen Tieshan, Zhang Yuanmin acceptance of birch juice in a small amount of sodium benzoate (1g/kg), add citric acid (1.5g/kg) to adjust the acidity to make ph value ╭ 3.5, then the proportion of ascorbic acid are then added (0.1g/kg ), sodium bisulfite (0.1g/kg), Preservation can achieve good results, can be stored at room temperature for 6 months. Thomas W. Huang, Jianhua using preservatives on fresh birch juice was found to add a single preservative sodium benzoate preservative effect of the compound as preservative, benzoic acid 0.03%, 0.03%, ethyl paraben, sorbic acid ratio of 0.05% add, with less preservatives and preservative effect and reliable.
  4 birch juice food development:
  4.1 birch juice
  Birch juice is a popular soft drinks, by the National Science and Technology Commission as the "Spark Program", is the top grade natural beverages. Chen Tieshan the Qinling Hua sap as raw materials, deodorization, the development of a sweet refreshing drink birch juice. Mountain Wing Kai, Cuigui Ping, Zhang pearl and other analysts believe that the flavor of birch juice Brix important factors, birch juice acidity and the content of aromatic components; according to orthogonal test to determine the best formula birch juice 7% sucrose , citric acid 0.25%, 1.0% of honey, passion fruit flavor 0.10%, 20% of birch juice, salt 0.05%. Lau Shennongjia red birch sap as raw material mixture of the red birch juice health drink, the basic process: in addition to smell red birch juice → → Add sugar, citric acid preparation → Filter → cooling → sealing → sterilization is finished. Product color was yellow, with red birch juice, fragrance and taste, slightly after the astringency, sweet and sour taste, flavor, coordinated, clear and transparent, a small amount of vegetable precipitation. Jiang Zhonghai in Heilongjiang Province as raw material out of birch juice, carbonated, non-carbonated juice drinks, and birch, birch juice and transparent, was brown, with the juice of fresh, no smell, solid content of 5% - 15% of the total acidity of 0.08-0.1. Chen Tieshan prickly pear juice after the juice is mixed with birch flavor taste processed into a new compound with excellent drinks. Liu Yuanchang the birch juice concentrate, according to the proportion of 0.6% -0.9%, added to the fermented yogurt, add 0.15% 0.25% pectin and modified starch as a stabilizer were prepared yogurt flavor and soft, lingering fragrance compound yogurt Betula .
