Food additive sodium hexametaphosphate refuses to "feed" in violation of regulations
"315" arrived as scheduled. At this time in the past years, food safety issues are still attracting attention, and the issue of food additives is the focus of public attention. With the continuous development of the food industry, food additives have become an indispensable base material in food processing. Food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, etc. play an important role in food processing.
As we all know, instant noodles, fried dough sticks and baked goods are all popular foods, but the problem of excessive addition of food additives has always been criticized. So, let's take a look at the role of food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate in food:
1. Sodium hexametaphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausages, ham, etc., which can improve water holding capacity, increase cohesiveness, and prevent fat oxidation;
2. Used in bean paste and soy sauce to prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period, and adjust taste;
3. Used in fruit drinks and refreshing drinks, it can increase the juice yield, increase the viscosity, and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C;
4. Used in ice cream, it can increase the expansion capacity, increase the volume, enhance the emulsification to prevent the destruction of the paste, and improve the taste and color;
5. Used in dairy products and beverages to prevent gel precipitation;
6. Adding to beer can clarify the liquor and prevent turbidity;
7. For beans, canned fruits and vegetables, it can stabilize natural pigments and protect the color of food;
8. The aqueous solution of sodium hexametaphosphate is sprayed on the cured meat to improve the anti-corrosion performance.
However, in recent years, illegal use of food additives has occurred from time to time, causing some people to talk about "additives". In this regard, experts said that food additives themselves are not "a scourge". Appropriate and compliant additions can add luster to food.
In fact, the use of sodium hexametaphosphate in food additives is an objective need to improve food quality, ensure food safety, develop healthy food, and promote food innovation. It is also the advancement of science and technology, and it will also "delicious" our lives.
