Food additives are synthetic substances or natural substances extracted from plants and animals to improve the color and taste of food and extend its shelf life. Although people show a strong rejection of food additives, but the fact is: food additives have entered millions of households, and people's lives can not be separated. Take a piece of food, the food ingredients column labeled food ingredients, a large part of the substances are food additives, such as bleaching agents, coloring agents, preservatives, sweeteners, and so on. Since the food contains so many kinds of food additives, does it mean that the food can not be purchased for consumption?


Food additives


In fact, food additives and health hazards, the two are not opposing relationships, let us take a deeper look at the role of food additives, I believe that after reading, will give people who have prejudice against food additives some inspiration.


With the development of society, people's lives are becoming more and more convenient, many goods can be easily purchased in the supermarket. In recent years, food safety problems in China have been frequent, and there are often media reports of black-hearted manufacturers making counterfeit products, illegal use of food additives and endangering people's safety and health. Nowadays, when it comes to food additives, many people can't help but feel afraid that once they eat food containing food additives, they will endanger their health.


Food additives are produced, in the end, to meet the needs of people's production life. In life, we make food, because of the limitations of food traits, there are great defects in processing and storage. This is when it is necessary to artificially add certain specific additives to the food to help us better handle the food.


When it comes to food additives, the first thing that pops into many people's minds is preservatives. It's no wonder, because the use of preservatives is so widespread, and in recent years there has been a lot of news about the illegal addition of preservatives. Are preservatives really that terrible?


Many people's understanding of the role of preservatives, only to stay in the manufacturers to facilitate the preservation of food, to extend the shelf life of food, in order to better save resources and save costs. In fact, adding preservatives to food can also stop or slow down the oxidation of food, prevent food from deteriorating due to microbial activity, and prevent the formation of harmful fat oxides in food to avoid food spoilage and endanger the safety of the consumer. Therefore, preservatives are added not only to ensure the quality of food, or to protect human health and safety.


In order to better food processing, the food industry often use to some food processing aids.


Coagulant can effectively reduce the fluidity of the processing materials in the food processing process, to facilitate the shaping and processing of food. The use of coagulants is well known in the production of tofu. In the process of making tofu, brine is generally used to help solidify and shape the tofu. Depending on the amount of brine added, the softness of the tofu can also be controlled to make what is known as old tofu and young tofu.


There are also some common coagulants, such as cured bacon and bread making to the use of calcium sulfate, jam, canned food in the long use of calcium chloride, soy products used in the production of magnesium chloride, etc., these are important food processing aids.
