FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Mother-of-pearl is the term used for the iridescent substance that forms the inner layer of the shell of certain mollusks.

Mother-of-pearl is the shell that produces pearls, which the ancients thought could nurture pearls, and was therefore named after the mother of pearl.

Mother-of-pearl shells secrete pearl when they are stimulated by the intrusion of a foreign object, which wraps the foreign object, and this is the principle of pearl formation, so mother-of-pearl is essential for the formation of pearls.

Mother-of-pearl is often used for purposes such as making unique veneer sheets, mosaic tiles, caviar spoons, and jewelry.

Shellfish itself does not produce toxins, and shellfish poisons are actually formed by the toxic algae in the ocean passing through the food chain to algae-feeding shellfish and other organisms and accumulating in their bodies to form toxic polymer compounds.

Shellfish toxins are colorless and tasteless, mainly stored in the digestive organs of shellfish, which are harmless to shellfish, but if the poisoned shellfish are consumed by people, shellfish poisons will be rapidly released in the human body and lead to human poisoning.

Depending on the symptoms of poisoning, there are four main types of common shellfish toxins, namely diarrheal shellfish poison (DSP), paralytic shellfish poison (PSP), neurological shellfish poison (NSP), and memory deficit shellfish poison (ASP), and none of them have special treatment drugs.

Among them, paralytic shellfish poisons are special because they are highly resistant to high temperatures, and common cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and frying do not degrade the poisons, which are the most widely distributed and frequent shellfish poisons in the world.

1). The main symptoms of diarrheal shellfish toxin poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc;

2). The main symptoms of paralytic shellfish toxin poisoning are tingling and paralysis of the mouth and lips, and spreading to the face, neck, and extremities, accompanied by headache, dizziness, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. In serious cases will stop breathing and die of asphyxiation;

3). The main symptoms of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning are muscle and joint weakness, reversal of hot and cold sensations, difficulty in speaking and stammering, etc;

4). The main symptoms of memory deficit shellfish toxin poisoning are dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of short-term memory function.

Since shellfish toxins are colorless and tasteless, it is impossible to distinguish shellfish containing shellfish toxins from other safe edible shellfish in terms of appearance and odor, and ordinary heating methods at home do not completely reduce the content of toxins.

Therefore, please note the following points when buying and eating shellfish:

First, to keep a good shopping place.

Consumers should buy shellfish through regular channels, try to go to regular supermarkets or markets, and avoid buying shellfish from red tide areas.

Second, pay attention to the place of fishing.

Pay attention to the red tide warning, high-risk shellfish, and other warnings, it is recommended not to harvest (wild) shellfish during the red tide warning.

Third, use the scientific way of eating shellfish.

When eating shellfish to remove the digestive glands and other internal organs, steamed shellfish, and soup discarded, and each consumption should not be too much. If nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle paralysis of the limbs, and other symptoms occur after consumption, immediately rush to the hospital for treatment.

Mother-of-Pearl Shell cleaning is a term used in marine biology that refers to the process of cleaning and treating shellfish shells.

Mother-of-Pearl shells are usually the shells of shellfish organisms, and due to long-term immersion in seawater, a layer of dirt and seaweed will be deposited on the shell surface, which affects the ornamental and preservation value of the shells, and therefore need to be cleaned and treated.

When cleaning Mother-of-Pearl shells, generally need to soak the shells in light salt water or light vinegar water to soften the surface layer of dirt and algae, and then gently scrub with a brush or rag, and finally rinse clean with water.

Here we will introduce other cleaning methods:

1. Buy fresh scallops, rinse the mud and sand on the shell with water first.

2. Use a knife, the recommended knife for Western food. Put the knife into the Mother-of-Pearl shell, open the shell into two, and also cut the shell inside the shell flesh. At this point, you will see both sides of the shell with shell meat.

3. With the knife, against the bottom of the shell, they will be completely out of the shell meat. This step must be close to the bottom of the shell, in order to pick out the complete shell meat.

4. Separate the flesh from the shell.

We first open and clean the shell meat, and use the knife to remove the guts of the shell meat, which is the dark-looking stuff. Then put the complete shellfish into a large bowl. Add a little salt, soak it in salt water for two or three minutes, and rotate the shellfish clockwise with chopsticks, the purpose of doing so is to make the sediment on the surface of the shellfish sink into the bottom of the bowl.

5. Fish out the shellfish, just pour out the water in the large bowl, put an appropriate amount of raw flour in the bowl, then put the shellfish into the bowl, and gently scrub the shellfish with your hands. This way the powder will take away the residual sediment in the shellfish thoroughly. Finally, wash it again with water, and the shellfish will be processed.

6. If you do garlic vermicelli or black bean sauce steamed scallops, we also need shells as the bottom bracket, then we can choose a fine bristle brush or toothbrush, and then the shells on the mud and sand are thoroughly brushed off.

Proper maintenance methods of Mother-of-Pearl shells: 

  1. Protection against acid attack

To keep the luster and color of the Mother-of-Pearl shell from being affected, avoid exposing the pearls to acids, alkalis, and chemicals such as perfume, soap, and styling water.

Do not wear pearl jewelry for swimming or bathing. So please put on your lovely shellfish after you have put on your makeup. 

  1. Stay away from the kitchen

Shellfish have tiny air holes on their surface, so they should not be allowed to inhale airborne dirt. Shellfish can absorb substances such as hair spray and perfume. So do not wear pretty pearls to electric hair, and be careful in the kitchen.

Do not wear pretty shellfish jewelry to cook, steam and soot can seep in and make it yellow. 

  1. Avoid exposure to the sun

As shellfish contain some water, pearls should be kept in a cool place, avoiding as much as possible direct sunlight or being placed in too dry a place to avoid dehydrating the product.

  1. Anti-scratching by hard objects

It is important to store shellfish jewelry separately so that other jewelry does not scratch the skin of shellfish jewelry.

If you plan to wear shellfish on top of your clothes, the texture of the clothes should be better to be softer and smoother. Materials that are too rough may scratch your precious ornaments.

The kiss test:

A real mother-of-pearl button will feel cooler to the touch compared to a plastic one as mother-of-pearl does not retain as much heat.

The best way to tell the temperature difference is by giving them a quick kiss and touching your lips to find out which one is colder than the other.
