Can sodium peroxide be used as food bleaching agent

Introduction: sodium peroxide is generally used in bleaching textile products, straw, fiber, etc Can sodium peroxide be used as food bleaching agent? Sodium peroxide is one of the products of sodium combustion in oxygen or air The pure sodium peroxide is white, but the common sodium peroxide is light yellow, because a small amount of sodium peroxide (NaO2, light yellow) is generated in the reaction process Sodium peroxide is easy to be deliquesced and corrosive, and shall be sealed for preservation Sodium peroxide has strong oxidability and can be used to bleach textile products, wheat straw, fiber, etc So can sodium peroxide be used as food bleaching agent? Sodium peroxide has oxidation, corrosiveness, strong alkaline reaction with water, and certain bleaching effect If it is used as a bleach, it will react with the water in the food Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline substance, which is harmful to human body There are other substances generated in the reaction process, which is not safe, so it is not used Sodium peroxide has strong oxidizability It will explode when it meets reductive substances such as cotton, carbon powder and aluminum powder in the melting state Therefore, attention should be paid to safety during storage, and do not contact with inflammables It is easy to absorb moisture, has strong corrosiveness, and can cause burns Pay special attention when using sodium peroxide Many foods use bleach, so is it safe to bleach? In fact, if it is used according to the national regulations, it will not be dangerous Now the state has a food safety detector, which can quantitatively detect 50 parameters in the food on the spot So that we can eat more safe food, more food safety knowledge in the hundred safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
