Can sodium tripolyphosphate in the list of food ingredients be eaten normally?
Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking. Food safety is a major basic livelihood issue related to every family and everyone. Food additive industry of our coutry started late, but developed very rapidly. Adding sodium tripolyphosphate in food processing is to improve the quality of products and provide higher quality products.
Food additives play an important role in improving the color, flavor, nutritional value and shelf life of food. On the one hand, food additives have greatly promoted the development of food industry and are known as the soul of modern food industry. On the other hand, the abuse of food additives and the non-standard of the industry have brought more and more problems to food safety.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is an additive used in food additives to improve food quality, prolong food storage life, facilitate food processing and increase food nutrients. It is often used to improve the quality of food such as color, aroma and taste in the process of food processing, and to be added to food for the needs of anti-corrosion and processing technology.
Therefore, the addition of food grade sodium tripolyphosphate to food processing must comply with the following principles:
1. The addition of sodium tripolyphosphate can not destroy the nutrients of food and affect the quality and flavor of food.
2. The addition of sodium tripolyphosphate shall not cover up the defects of rotten and deteriorated food.
3. Added food sodium tripolyphosphate is convenient and safe to use, meets the corresponding quality indicators, and does not produce toxic and harmful substances.
4. The addition of sodium tripolyphosphate in food shall not exceed the scope and amount.
In the ingredient list, you may often see the figure of sodium tripolyphosphate. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is a food additive with active research and development in the food industry.
However, eating too much of anything will have side effects, such as rice, as we all know salt. If a person eats one kilogram of salt and two kilos of salt every day, the probability of high blood pressure will increase. Therefore, based on the above considerations, the additive of sodium tripolyphosphate has also been tested countless times, and the national standard will limit the amount of additives in food and check at all levels. Are you still worried about the safety of food additives?
