It is normal for Lycium barbarum to turn white in water. White floc is the main component of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has high solubility at high water temperature, and when the temperature decreases, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide precipitates to produce white floc, which does not affect normal eating.

Polysaccharide, the main component of Lycium barbarum, dissolves in water when Lycium barbarum is boiled in water. When the water temperature drops, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide precipitates, resulting in white flocculent floating objects.

The higher the water temperature, the better the solubility of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide in water. When the temperature decreases, the more Lycium barbarum polysaccharide precipitates, the more white flocs. On the contrary, when the water temperature is lower than 70℃, the amount of polysaccharide precipitation is small and no floc can be seen.
