龙涎香(Ambergris)是抹香鲸肠道病态分泌而形成的一种脂肪物质,类似于结石,从体内排出,漂浮于海面或冲上海岸而寻得。它具有令人喜爱的麝香气味,其主要用途则是一种极好的固香剂,因此很久以来一直被用于香料制造。至于龙涎香的来历,有着许多假说,其中二种说认为海中栖息有大量龙的中国学者,提出了一个传说法,当龙睡觉时会张着大嘴伸向岸边,它的口水流到海里凝固,从而形成宝贵的龙涎香。从19世纪起,龙涎香才被公认为抹香鲸的排泄物。抹香鲸捕食乌贼为生,捕食时常被乌贼的尖足抓伤其肠壁,为愈合肠伤,龙涎香便在肠道
Ambergris (Ambergris) is a fatty substance formed by the sickly whales’ intestinal pathological secretion. It is similar to stones, which are discharged from the body and float on the sea or washed up to the coast. It has a desirable musk odor and its main use is an excellent fixative and has long been used in the manufacture of spices. As for the origin of Ambergris, there are many hypotheses, two of which say that Chinese scholars who have a large number of dragons inhabiting the sea have proposed a legendary method. When the dragon sleeps, it will open its mouth to the shore and its saliva will flow to the shore. The sea is solidified, thus forming a valuable ambergris. From the 19th century onwards, Ambergris was recognized as the excrement of sperm whales. Sperm whale prey on squid for a living. The squid is often scratched by the squid’s sharp foot to scratch the intestinal wall. In order to heal an intestinal wound, the ambergris will be in the intestine.
