The function of neotame as food additive

Introduction: neotame is also a kind of food additive Everyone is very strange to neotame So what role does neotame play in food? The editor will introduce you in this article Everyone is very unfamiliar with the concept of neotame Neotame is also one of the food additives At present, the price of domestic neotame products is relatively low The quality is also stable So what are the functions of neotame, a food additive? Let's introduce it to you 1 Function in canned fruit: reduce the overall proportion of syrup, so as to reduce the phenomenon of fruit floating, without adding more fruits In GB2760, the only sweetener allowed to be used in canned products Neotame showed good stability in the process of heat treatment of canned products It can replace 40%-50% sucrose and reduce the cost of the product The shelf life of the product is 12-24 months Flavor: sweet orange, bayberry, loquat, litchi, pineapple, longan Recommended sweetness multiple: 6500-7000 2 Function in cold fruit: suggestions on the use of neotame: ⑴ the amount of neotame (calculated relative sugar sweetness) accounts for about 30% of the total sweetness It can be used in combination with sugar, aspartame, stevia, cyclamate and other sweeteners (2) the multiple of neotame used in plum is about 6500-7000 times In other cold fruits with lower acidity, it can be used more than 7500 times (3) the amount of acid can be reduced properly If no additional acid is needed, more acid can be removed as much as possible when washing the fruit embryo, so as to balance the sweet acid ratio 3 In all kinds of drinks: ⑴ carbonated drinks: neotame can last for 16 weeks in cola carbonated drinks It is consistent with the shelf life of low-energy carbonated drinks sold on the market It can also be used in lemonade (2) non carbonated beverage: neotame can be used in hot filled lemon tea, solid powder beverage, yogurt and other foods, and in these foods, the neutral shape is very stable and the quality is good (3) solid beverage: the sugar is partially replaced by 30% sugar, and the cost can be reduced as much as possible without changing the taste of the original whole sugar formula; aspartame is replaced in the formula, and the label does not need to indicate phenylalanine; it is premixed with sugar powder or other powder additives in the proportion of 1-2%; the test shows that the concentrated neotame premix can be properly dispersed and adsorbed on the carrier surface; In the production of solid drinks, it is very common to premix a small amount of raw materials such as pigments and spices, so the use of neotame is only a very simple process; at the same time, the mixing of pigments and neotame in sugar can be observed by vision to ensure full mixing; the mixing time must fully ensure dispersion, but the time must be controlled to reduce the flying powder 4 Functions in dairy drinks: the solid substance of the product itself is relatively rich, even if the sweetener may lose a small product consistency, it can be supplemented by the stabilizer of dairy products; pH 4.0-4.5 is the most suitable for the stability of neotame; neotame is relatively stable in the fermentation process; Replacing part of the sucrose in these products with neotame reduces calories and potentially increases nutritional value (milk replaces the volume of sucrose) The result is a healthier consumer product 5 Function in jelly: the sweetness of jelly is usually 18-22 sweetness, and the taste is the best; therefore, the sweetness beyond 15 sweetness can be adjusted by sweetener 6 In baked food: lower cost; mixed with sugar and alcohol to make sugar free products, health concept; neosweet presents satisfactory flavor and tissue characteristics in baked food, with good stability; filler: wheat bran, wheat fiber, maltitol, malt paste 7 Function in chewing gum: on the basis of the original formula, the addition of neotame has a longer sweetness delay, which meets the need of extending sweetness The sweetness of the product is related to the mint flavor As long as the sweetness persists, the mint flavor will continue to present at the same time Because of its enhanced flavor, the new sweet can reduce the flavor of peppermint gum The results show that the solubility of propylene glycol is 20%, glycerin is 10%, and it is premixed with sugar powder or other powder additives in the ratio of 1-2% Note: it is not recommended to use flavors as solvents directly 8 Function in table sweetener: because neotame has no hygroscopicity and low energy, it is very suitable to be used as table sweetener Research shows that neotame can be stored for at least 156 weeks when it is used as table sweetener 9 Function in starch food: adding neotame to starch food can inhibit starch aging and extend the shelf life of food; adding neotame to egg, fish and other protein rich food can inhibit protein denaturation and maintain good taste of food 10 In the field of Medicine: as a sweetener, neotame is only used to modify the taste without affecting the efficacy After a long time of sweetening, it can cover up the bitter taste in medicine, or the peculiar smell of vitamin and other substances; the dosage is small, it will not increase the volume of the tablet; when used in oral liquid, the taste is clearer than that of using sucrose 11 Function in toothpaste and cosmetics: using neotame as sweetener of toothpaste and mouthwash can effectively keep the product cool New sweet can also be used for lipstick, lipstick, bath and moisturizing cosmetics 12 Function in cigarette filter tip: the bottleneck of sweet feeling technology of cigarette filter tip is that the sweet feeling lasts too short to maintain the sweetness until the cigarette is finished The sweet aftertaste characteristics of neosweet solve this problem well The above tells you so much about neotame, and more about food additives For example, what are food additives?
