    Introduction: in order to improve the taste of meatballs, some people will add various additives in the production process to attract customers In the supermarket, we saw a Haixin crab like pork stick with 25 ingredients In addition to surimi, water, frozen protein and starch, the additives include acetate starch, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and capsicum red The compound thickener includes carrageenan, gellan gum and sodium carbonate You can't eat hotpot without meatballs As you know, meatballs in hotpot side dishes are all fishy Because these meatballs may be simulation meatballs If they are real meatballs, the business may lose a lot A little partner who is engaged in catering work once calculated a small account: fresh beef costs 40 yuan a Jin, which is made by hand Generally, it is made according to a jin of meat, with three liang of starch, three egg whites, and some minced garlic and onion The weight of the meatballs made is a little more than a Jin, so the cost of each jin of beef balls is 40 yuan If we want to add the cost of labor, equipment, site and other costs of the manufacturer, plus the profit of the supermarket, how much beef can the twenty-three yuan one catty beef ball in the farmer's market contain? Someone went to the market and found that the twenty-nine yuan one catty frozen ball in the supermarket is less than twenty yuan in the vegetable market The meatballs made of fresh pork, beef or fish, without any added ingredients, are cooked and frozen, with a shelf life of no more than one month, and the flavor is light But frozen balls will add various ingredients, including flavors, spices, etc the beef balls have the flavor of beef, shrimp balls with shrimp flavor, and the packages smell sweet, and rice meat dumplings will be fragrant when cooked In order to improve the taste of meatballs, some people will add various additives in the production process to attract customers In the supermarket, we saw a Haixin crab like pork stick with 25 ingredients In addition to surimi, water, frozen protein and starch, the additives include acetate starch, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and capsicum red The compound thickener includes carrageenan, gellan gum and sodium carbonate Baibai safety net reminds us that although all kinds of added ingredients in those simulation pills taste good, their nutritional value is not high, and the harm of various additives containing sodium elements to patients with hypertension, heart disease and kidney disease is self-evident Therefore, for the sake of health, it is not suitable to eat more of various frozen pills Editor in charge: Hu Lingling
