The main way to distinguish the quality of decapsulated artemia cysts is to observe their color, odor, stability, and packaging information. The following are specific methods:
Color discrimination
High quality decapsulated artemia cysts have a uniform orange red color and a natural glossy surface; If the color is too dark or appears light and dark, it may be a product that has been dyed or aged to remove the shell.
Odor assessment
Fresh decapsulated artemia cysts have a faint sea odor. If the odor is pungent or has a chemical smell, it may be a preservative product.
Observation
Under the microscope, the good quality decapsulated artemia cysts are plump yellow spherical in shape.
Stability test
Soak the decapsulated artemia cysts in water, high-quality products will sink to the bottom and have a stable shape; If it quickly loosens or floats, the quality is poor.
Packaging information verification
Choose a reputable brand with clear labeling (product name, ingredients, production date, shelf life, etc.) to avoid products with poor quality.
