Is defoamer harmful to human body

Introduction: defoamer is a common food additive in our life, but what's the difference between defoamer and defoamer? Is defoamer harmful to human body? There must be a lot of people concerned about these problems Next, let's give you a brief introduction The main components of food grade defoamers include calcium carbonate, sorbitan fatty acid ester, silicone oil, food preservative and so on Of course, there will be a certain amount of short chain fatty acids in general defoamers There are many kinds of defoamers, such as organosiloxane, polyether, grafting of silicon and ether, containing amines, imines and amides, which have the characteristics of faster defoaming speed, longer foam inhibition time, wider applicable medium range, and even harsh medium environment such as high temperature, strong acid and strong base Is defoamer harmful to human body? According to the hygienic standard for the use of food additives in China, the maximum usage of defoamer in brewing process is 1g / kg, that of soybean product process is 1.6g/kg, that of sugar production process and fermentation process is 3G / kg, and that of general industrial use is about 0.5-2.5 ‰ If the defoamer is added within the scope permitted by the state, it is not harmful to health If it is excessive, it is harmful as other food additives (1) Carcinogenic problems For example, some artificial sweeteners and pigments have been proved to be carcinogenic by animal experiments (2) Acute and chronic poisoning Because the raw materials used in the manufacture of additives are impure, some toxic compounds are polluted, causing people's acute and chronic poisoning If industrial defoamer is added, it is harmful Hazard: Industrial defoamer is widely used in coating, paint, papermaking, petroleum and other industries Due to its low purity and containing heavy metals such as arsenic and lead, it is very harmful to human health Lead is a kind of accumulated metal, which will cause chronic lead poisoning and harm to nervous system, blood system, cardiovascular system, bone system, etc.; while arsenic will cause changes of human nervous system, such as numbness of hands and feet, weakness of limbs, etc What's the difference between defoamer and defoamer? Literally, we can see that the difference between them is that defoamer intrudes into the bubble from the interface of the bubble and makes the bubble unite and float out of the liquid surface Defoamer is the elimination of harmful foam These two are different For more information about defoamers, you can go to Baibai safety net, more food safety knowledge is waiting for you, and you can also use food safety detector to check whether there are harmful substances in food Editor in charge: he xianrob
