The things you don't know about food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP

In recent years, food safety has become an increasingly important topic for eating. Food additives, as a non-negligible part of them, have also attracted more and more attention. Because of the illegal use of food additives, people have a certain misunderstanding. Today, let's learn a few things you don't know about food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP.


1. What is food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP?

Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is a food additive commonly used in phosphates, and can be used in food as a moisture retention agent, acidity regulator, stabilizer, leavening agent, anticaking agent, and coagulant. It has the functions of preventing deterioration, improving senses, maintaining nutrition, convenient supply, and convenient processing. Let people more conveniently and better enjoy all kinds of food.


According to the provisions of my country's Food Sanitation Law (1995), food additives are artificial or natural substances added to food for the purpose of improving the color, aroma, and taste of food, as well as for the needs of anti-corrosion and processing technology. Although food additives are little angels, they cannot be eaten as food alone.


2. Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is not a scourge, there is no need to talk about discoloration

When it comes to food additives, if the first reaction is: Toxic. And feeling that you are in the fear of being dominated by food additives, the heart of that food additive deity must be: It can be said that there are additives in almost all packaged foods. If the producers and processors strictly follow the "National Food Safety Standard Food Additives Use Standards" (GB2760-2014) and the relevant announcement of the Health and Family Planning Commission to add food grade sodium hexametaphosphate, then this behavior is legal, and it is also for consumers safe.


3. Basic requirements for using food grade sodium hexametaphosphate

(1) Over-range addition. One is to add substances that are not food additives to food, and the other is that it is legal for certain additives to be added to a certain type of food, but it is illegal to add it to other types of food.

(2) Overdose use. For example, our country's "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2920-1996) stipulates that food grade sodium hexametaphosphate can be used for canned food, fruit juice (fruit-flavored) beverages, and vegetable protein beverages, and the maximum usage amount is 1.0g/kg. If the dosage exceeds 1.0g/kg, it is overdose.


Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is intended to be added to the food production industry for the purpose of improving food quality and color, aroma and taste, as well as for the needs of anti-corrosion and processing technology. In the modern food industry, food grade sodium hexametaphosphate can be regarded as a 'broken little angel' when used with reasonable and legal additions.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
