It is not advisable to add edible alum to the jelly, how should merchants seize the market opportunity?

Recently, a manufacturer illegally added edible alum in the processing of skin jelly and was liable for food safety infringement damages and was fined the news that people were seen. In the "National Standard for Food Safety, Standard for the Use of Food Additives" (GB/T2760), it is clear that edible alum is mainly used as a leavening agent and stabilizer, and is appropriately used in the processing of puffed foods and flour products on demand, such as jelly and other foods are not allowed to be used, but why are there still merchants who do not change it? It is reported that the addition of edible alum to the skin jelly is mainly to make the skin jelly easy to form and store, which is also a more stubborn type of problem in the production of skin jelly. Under the premise of retaining the consumption of skin jelly, how should merchants grasp the market opportunities?

Speaking of skin jelly, everyone may be more familiar with the use of pork skin, pork and other broths at home during the New Year's Festival, and the soup and ingredients stored in refrigeration will become solidified the next day, which is the original origin of the homemade version of skin jelly, simple and easy to make. Although people have mixed opinions about the taste of pig skin, because the pig skin itself is a meat raw material with high protein content, it has a good physiological health care effect on human skin, tendons, bones, etc., and it can be said that there is no lack of market. The jelly made of raw materials has the same taste or Q elasticity, or toughness, and the color and flavor are complete, which is loved by many people.

As mentioned above, the appearance of jelly in many places is mostly concentrated in the Spring Festival period, because the meat products purchased in the family during this period are not only large in quantity, but also more extensive in parts, so that there will be excess pork skin to make jelly. On the other hand, in ordinary life, people often rarely buy pig skins alone, and it is not realistic to spend a lot of time boiling under the fast-paced life, so how to satisfy the appetite? The various jelly ready-to-eat products that have sprung up on the market give the answer. After xiaobian searched for "skin jelly" on a platform, a variety of vacuum packaging skin jelly, skin jelly canned goods have jumped in front of the eyes, and the condensed and transparent skin jelly looks very attractive.

However, because the production, condensation and preservation of the skin jelly require a lot of "effort", such as the skin jelly often because of the illegal addition of edible alum and become a major category of food safety problems naturally attracted attention, many product reviews have asked "whether there is a glue feeling when eating". In this regard, the old saying often says that "the people take food as the sky, food takes safety as the first", there will be a market when there is demand, and there may be profits in the market, and all meat manufacturers should always adhere to the bottom line of food safety.

First of all, the difficulty of skin jelly molding is the first difficulty faced in its production. It is reported that whether the molding is in place and the proportion control of pig skin and water during boiling and the control of the boiling process, as some merchants have formed a quantitative water and material ratio in many attempts, and used measurement tools to make it precise, as well as the grasp of the key points of the three-boiling and one-rubbing process in the boiling process, the help of automatic temperature control of the sandwich pot, etc., all of which have laid the foundation for the skin freeze cooking in place and easy to form.

Secondly, after the jelly appears in the form of instant food, how to keep it fresh is also a big test. At present, one is through vacuum packaging, can make the food preservation period, shelf life is extended; another form of the second skin jelly instant food products is to appear in canning, with the canned food itself in recent years is not relying on the use of additives to achieve the purpose of preservation and preservation, but through pretreatment, canning, sealing, sterilization and other processes to prevent the growth of microorganisms awareness of the increase, The use of advanced sterilization equipment to convert the skin jelly product to the skin jelly can be said to reduce people's concerns about whether the skin jelly will add additional preservatives and excessive or illegal additives.

In fact, on the basis of the continuous demand for frozen food in the consumer market and the continuous innovation of food processing technology, there is a favorable space for the industry. For manufacturers, it is more necessary to improve the health standards of the production environment and equipment, and make good use of vacuum packaging equipment and canned food processing technology, which will provide certain technical support for the quality maintenance and stability of the jelly and the extension of the shelf life.
