In the process of food processing, although there is no excessive use of additives according to national standards, there are many misunderstandings about food additives. In fact, food additives are not so terrible. There are preservatives in soy sauce, stabilizers in milk, crispy agents in bread. Food additives are widely used in daily life. Food additives are indispensable ingredients in food processing. There are basically no processed foods without additives. Today CD will tell you about the health hazards of foods containing sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP)?
CD first popularized the production of food additives to everyone through strict evaluation and testing, and through a series of animal experiments to its acute toxicity, genetic toxicity, carcinogenic toxicity, teratogenic toxicity and other comprehensive evaluation, in the determination of no potential safety hazards to the body can be approved to use, to ensure the safety of human consumption.
SHMP is widely used in food additions. Its specific functions are as follows:
SHMP is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham and so on. It can improve water holding capacity, increase knotability and prevent fat oxidation.
SHMP used in soybean paste and soy sauce can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste.
SHMP can increase juice yield, viscosity and inhibit decomposition of vitamin C when used in fruit and cool beverages.
SHMP can improve the expansion ability, increase the volume, enhance the emulsification function, prevent the paste damage, improve the taste and color, and prevent gel precipitation in dairy products and beverages.
SHMP added to beer can clarify liquor and prevent turbidity. It can be used in canned beans, fruits and vegetables to stabilize natural pigments and protect food color. In addition, SHMP solution sprayed on cured meat can improve the anti-corrosion performance.
In fact, the most unsafe food is microbial contamination. Food stored for a long time is vulnerable to bacterial and fungal contamination. Toxins produced by fungi can also cause cancer. So as long as regular food grade SHMP is added to food according to regulations, it is safe for consumers to eat at ease.
