The difference between emulsifier and improver

Introduction: food emulsifier and bread improver are both substances used to make bread What's the difference between emulsifier and improver? Is it harmful to eat emulsifier? Let's have a look together with the small edition of Baibai safety net Emulsifier can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, and make the immiscible oil (hydrophobic material) and water (hydrophilic material) form a stable emulsion food additive Bread improver is a kind of baking material used in bread making, which can promote bread softness and increase bread baking elasticity, effectively delay bread aging and prolong shelf life What's the difference between emulsifier and improver? According to the small edition of Baibai safety net, bread improver is generally a compound food additive composed of emulsifier, oxidant, enzyme, inorganic salt and filler, while food emulsifier forms a complex complex complex through the interaction of starch and protein in flour to strengthen gluten, improve processing performance and improve bread tissue, In general, the adding amount is 0.2% ~ 0.5% Emulsifier is lipophilic and hydrophilic, which gives the product more emulsifying effect, makes the product softer and more expansive Bread improver is to improve bread tissue, strengthen gluten and other functions; bread flour can only add yeast, emulsifier can not add or 2% - 3%, bread improver is generally 0.4% - 1% Is edible emulsifier harmful? Emulsifier has been widely used in the food field of our country, and many emulsifiers have been approved to be added to food in our country As long as emulsifier is added according to strict food additive's edible standard, it is generally harmless, but if it is added excessively or eaten, it should be noted that it may affect human intestinal function Therefore, in order to our own health, we should try to eat less emulsifiers When we doubt the amount of emulsifier, we must use the food safety detector to check whether the emulsifier content exceeds the standard, so as not to harm our health At the same time, we should learn more food safety knowledge to help us understand more food safety problems Editor in charge: he xianrob
