Introduction: Acidity regulator can be used in our food industry and many industries It has a wide range of uses Let's learn about the harm of acidity regulator together with Baibai safety net Acidity regulator is the general name of acid, alkali and salt substances which can enhance the acidity and adjust the pH in food or have buffering effect 17 kinds of Acidity Regulators are allowed to be used, including citric acid, potassium citrate, lactic acid and tartaric acid, among which citric acid is a widely used acidizer Citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, etc can be used for all kinds of food according to normal needs Is acidity regulator harmful? Take citric acid as an example to introduce it to you Citric acid is a kind of edible acid, which is harmless to human body and can enhance normal metabolism Add citric acid to some foods to taste good and promote appetite Currently, citric acid is allowed in jam, beverage, can and candy Although citric acid has no direct harm to the human body, it can promote the excretion and deposition of calcium in the body For example, long-term consumption of food containing citric acid may lead to hypocalcemia Children have nervous system instability, excitability and autonomic nervous disorder; adults have hand and foot convulsions, muscle spasms, sensory abnormalities, pruritus and gastrointestinal symptoms Because citric acid can affect the metabolism of calcium, people who often eat cans, drinks, jams, sour sweets, especially children, should pay more attention to calcium supplement, drink more raw milk, fish head, fish bone soup, eat some shrimp skin, etc., so as not to cause blood calcium deficiency and affect health What is the function of acidity regulator? In addition to adjusting the pH of food, controlling the acidity and improving the flavor, there are many other functional characteristics Its effective application is mainly controlled by the characteristics of food, usually organic acids and buffering salts Because many organic acids are the normal components of food, or participate in the normal metabolism of human body, they have high safety and are widely used Acidity Regulators are widely used We should learn more about food safety, understand the problems related to many Acidity Regulators, and learn to use food safety detector, which is very helpful for us to distinguish food safety Editor in charge: he xianrob
