cadmium
Cadmium is one of the most common contaminants of heavy metals. The harm of cadmium to the human body is mainly chronic accumulation. Long-term intake of foods with excessive cadmium content may lead to health hazards such as kidney and bone damage.
Peroxide value
The peroxide value mainly reflects whether the oil in the food is oxidized and deteriorated. Generally, it will not cause damage to the health of the human body, but when it is severe, it will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Total number of colonies
The total number of colonies is indicative of microorganisms, not pathogenic bacteria. It is mainly used to evaluate the cleanliness of food and reflect whether the food meets the hygiene requirements in the production process. The total number of colonies in food is seriously exceeded, which will destroy the nutritional composition of food, accelerate the spoilage of food, and make food lose its edible value.
