Our country stipulates that food additives are artificial synthetic or natural substances added to food in order to improve the color, aroma, taste and other quality of food, as well as for the needs of preservative and processing technology. At present, there are more than 2,000 kinds of food additives in China, mainly antioxidants, bleaching agents, colorants, leavening agents, flavor enhancers, nutritional enhancers, preservatives, sweeteners, spices and so on.
Delicious ≠ food, proper addition does help to improve the taste of food, but excessive addition, the human body is harmful and no benefit. Nowadays, some unscrupulous merchants are blinded by the interests and use excessive additives in brine dishes, such as chili pepper essence, nitrite, a drop of incense, colorants, etc.:
Capsicum extract:
Chili pepper essence, alias "chili pepper oleoresin", is a product extracted from chili peppers, concentrated and obtained, with a strong spicy taste, a kilogram of chili essence diluted can be used as 120 kg of peppers, long-term excessive consumption will cause certain harm to the stomach and intestines.
nitrite:
Although nitrite looks very similar to table salt, it is much more toxic. If a large amount of nitrite is ingested orally (mistakenly or over-ingested) in a short period of time, it is easy to cause acute poisoning. Poisoning can occur when the intake reaches 0.2-0.5 g, and death when the intake exceeds 3 g. Nitrite itself does not cause cancer, the terrible thing is that nitrite and the protein amino acid decomposition products in food combine to produce nitrosamines, which have a carcinogenic risk and belong to a class of carcinogens.
A drop of incense:
One of the main ingredients of "a drop of incense" is ethyl maltol, which makes two or more fragrances more harmonious and makes the overall fragrance more uniform. Excessive consumption of ethyl maltol has an impact on the human liver, bones and joints in advance brittle and cancerous and other diseases, serious may also lead to headaches, nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties.
Colorants:
Colorants, that is, pigments, are divided into two categories: natural and synthetic, natural is generally red yeast rice, red yeast red, caramel color, etc.; synthetic generally have carmine, lemon yellow, etc., but because of their side effects, the dosage must be in accordance with national regulations.
Modern medical research has confirmed that the amount of food additives needs to be controlled within a certain degree and standard, and food additives that exceed the standard and dosage will cause serious harm to the human body's functional immune system.
Some brine shops do not pursue spice ratios and technical learning, and only want to use additives to enhance the taste and color of their products, and eventually they will only cocoon themselves.
