Nowadays, people can buy all kinds of food, but it is not clear how these foods are made. They are often threatened by various food rumors. Food-grade additives are one of them. But the advantages of food additives outweigh the disadvantages, such as the use of sodium hexametaphosphate in food, as long as the food additives are strictly added or allowed to be used within the scope.
Many of the food additives used today have a history of thousands of years. For example, invertase, an enzyme used in wine-making, has a history of nearly 6,000 years, and brine, a coagulant for tofu, has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. These food additives have been tested for hundreds of thousands of years and proved to be compatible with human health.
Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is also used in food additions after strict and repeated practical tests. With the progress of science and technology, the original preservation of food and its taste can not meet the needs of modern people. Sodium hexametaphosphate is the improver of food quality.
In the process of meat processing, hexametaphosphate chelates metal ions, reduces the binding of metal ions to water, makes proteins bind more water, improves water retention and prolongs shelf life.
For example, when processing fish sausage and ham, adding sodium hexametaphosphate can promote the softening of food and improve the quality of food. Maintain the flavor of food, while maintaining the nutritional composition and tenderness of meat. Soy sauce, soy sauce processing. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and regulate appetite. There are many beverages, beer, ice cream processing, etc. in life will use sodium hexametaphosphate.
The direct service object of food additives is the food industry. Food additives should meet the needs of the food industry. When new food comes out, there may be corresponding food additives. Sodium hexametaphosphate promotes the development of food industry.
