Harm of milk powder emulsifier

Introduction: many of the foods we eat are added with emulsifier to extend the shelf life Baby's milk powder also contains emulsifier So, what's the harm of milk powder emulsifier? Is it harmful to eat emulsifier? Next, let Baibai safety net explain it to you There are oil and water in many foods at the same time But if oil and water can't mix, they can't form stable and uniform food There are some "hydrophilic" and "hydrophobic" parts in the molecule of emulsifier The hydrophilic part likes to stay in the water, and the hydrophobic part likes to stay in the oil The result of mutual compromise is that the emulsifier molecules like to stay in the interface between the water and the oil Let the hydrophilic part go into the water, and the hydrophobic part in the oil If the oil is divided into small drops and coated with such a layer of emulsifier on the surface, they can be evenly distributed in the water - thus forming the situation of "water emulsion blending" commonly known Soybean milk and milk are typical examples If the oil is dispersed into small drops and exists stably, it is "emulsion" The emulsifier used in milk powder is usually some lecithin which is harmless to human body Adding emulsifier to milk powder can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, and make the insoluble oil (hydrophobic material) and water (hydrophilic material) form a stable emulsion food additive The emulsifier used in milk powder is mainly for the better combination of oil and water, and there will be no oil on the surface of milk powder What is the harm of milk powder emulsifier Xiaobian said that the milk powder containing emulsifier is generally a natural emulsifier that does not harm the baby's body, generally no harm, but it can not be ruled out that there are illegal businesses adding excessive emulsifier, because there is a standard for the amount of food emulsifier in China If the amount of emulsifier exceeds the standard, it may cause harm to the gastrointestinal and liver of the human body, let alone small Children, therefore, parents should pay attention to the amount of milk powder emulsifier when replenishing milk powder Is it harmful to eat emulsifier? Only excessive consumption of emulsifier may cause harm to health Although the harm of emulsifier is not as serious as you think, people take food as the most important thing, after all, it is to eat something in the stomach For ordinary people, mastering food safety knowledge is one of the ways to prevent food harm, and you can use food safety detector Check whether the food is within the safety range Editor in charge: he xianrob
