China has a long history of liquor, the entrance is soft and energetic, the sweetness is endless, and it is the impression of many people on liquor.
Baijiu has also become one of the most familiar Chinese elements for foreigners, and "Chinese Baijiu" has also been officially included in the English dictionary.
However, people who love to drink liquor know that the "sweetness" of some liquor may be achieved by an additive - cyclamate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" >, multiple batches of liquor detected cyclamate, off the shelves! </h1>
According to the food sampling situation recently released by the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, there are 14 batches of unqualified samples, including 52 ° of tunlao's northeast pure grain wine, which is operated by Beijing Yipinfang Catering Co., Ltd., and the reason for the unqualified is that cyclamate does not meet the national standards for food safety.
Coincidentally, on March 31, the Heilongjiang Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a notice on the unqualified situation of 12 batches of food, saying that a total of 12 batches of unqualified samples were detected, including 2 batches of cyclamate detected in alcoholic products.
On March 24, the sampling results released by the Shandong Provincial Market Supervision Bureau showed that Tai'an Fu liquor (strong aromatic liquor) produced by Taishan Niu Liquor Co., Ltd. in Tai'an City, Shandong Province, with a specification and model of 500mL/bottle, was detected to exceed the cyclamate standard and could not be used in accordance with national regulations.
In addition, from the sampling information released by the market supervision departments of Chongqing, Henan, Shandong and other places, it can be seen that many liquor companies have added cyclamate in violation of the law.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > Second, alcohol cyclamate is repeatedly banned, where is the harm? </h1>
Cyclamate, just listening to the name is very confusing. In fact, cyclamate is not sweet at all.
Cyclamate, also known as sodium cyclohexylsulfamate, is a commonly used synthetic sweetener that is widely used in breads, pastries, beverages, prepared wines and preserves.
Cyclamate can improve the taste of the product, the sweetness is 30-40 times that of sucrose, but the price is much lower than sucrose, which can reduce production costs and increase profits.
As a sweetener, cyclamate is a legal food additive, provided that it meets the "National Standard for Food Safety" and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives. For example, in the candied cold fruit, the use of cyclamate can not exceed 8.0g/kg; in canned fruit, biscuits, jelly, prepared wine, etc., the use of cyclamate can not exceed 0.65g/kg.
However, it should be noted that although cyclamate can increase the sweetness of liquor, according to national regulations, the use of cyclamate is prohibited in liquor.
As for the reason, on the one hand, it is because excessive cyclamate intake is not conducive to liver and nervous system health, on the other hand, it is not conducive to the long-term development of the industry.
Li Hong, deputy director of the Department of Brewing and Traditional Fermentation of the China Food Fermentation Industry Research Institute, said that baijiu is a unique type of liquor in China, and the use of cyclamate is not allowed in order to inherit the purity of liquor and let liquor continue forever. After all, from ancient times to the present, liquor has been brewed by hand and has never added any chemical ingredients.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > third, debunking the rumor that "cyclamate causes cancer"</h1>
Some people said: "The reason why the addition of cyclamate is forbidden in liquor is because cyclamate is carcinogenic!" "As the saying goes, carcinogens that don't talk about doses are hooligans. Similarly, even if cyclamate is put on a carcinogenic "hat", it is not casually carcinogenic.
First of all, experts said that there is no clear evidence that cyclamate will cause cancer, and it is still debatable that cyclamate will cause teratogenicity and carcinogenicity.
Secondly, the normal amount of cyclamate used will not be harmful to human health. According to international standards, the allowable daily intake (ADI) for cyclamate is 11 mg/kg bw. In general, a normal daily diet is difficult to achieve harmful intake of cyclamate.
Therefore, we don't have to look at cyclamate with colored glasses. Cyclamate has its value of existence, of course, it is not excluded that some unscrupulous merchants illegally add cyclamate to food for the sake of profit. At this time, we have to polish our eyes and learn to recognize.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > fourth, fake wine is harmful, teach you to identify</h1>
China's wine culture has a long history, whether it is a party to go to school, or a birthday wedding, the figure of wine is indispensable on the table. However, a variety of wines emerge in an endless stream, and the media also reports from time to time about "dead people who drink fake wine", which can't help but leave a few eyes on the authenticity of wine.
If you accidentally drink fake wine, you may experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, etc., and you may be confused, comatose, convulsive and even die.
Therefore, we must learn to identify the authenticity of wine.
A look at the label, the printing of the real wine label is very exquisite, the handwriting is clear, the color is bright, the pattern is accurate, the label of the fake wine is usually perfunctory, the font size is different, the printing is not clear, the pattern is blurred, and the paper quality is inferior.
Second look at the bottle cap, most of the bottle caps of real wine use aluminum metal anti-theft caps, the lid surface is smooth, the sealing is tight, easy to open, the text and pattern on the lid are very clear, the specification is consistent.
Three look at the carton packaging, check whether the printing of the packaging is exquisite, the seams on the edges are not neat, strict and tight, if there is a gap, or the elasticity is not the same, you should be vigilant about buying fake wine.
Looking at the degree of turbidity of the wine, the real wine is clear and transparent, there is no sediment, the fake wine is relatively turbid, and the sediment is occasionally visible.
Five smells, real wine smells fragrant, there is a slight grain smell, fake wine taste is relatively heavy, even a bitter smell or other abnormal taste.
It is said that "drinking is pleasant, drinking a lot hurts the body", many people think that they only drink a little wine every day, and the harm to their health is not great. In fact, the damage of alcohol to the body is irreversible, there is no safe amount of this statement, as long as you drink alcohol, no matter how much, the health risk of the body will be greater than before drinking. Therefore, try not to drink alcohol in order to avoid the harm of alcohol to health.
