    Introduction: many of the foods we eat contain emulsifiers Emulsifiers are used more and more in the food industry If we use too much emulsifier, what will happen? Is it harmful to eat emulsifiers? Let's explain it to you through the small edition of Baibo safety net Emulsification is the function of one kind of liquid to disperse uniformly in another kind of immiscible liquid with very small droplets Emulsification is a liquid-liquid interface phenomenon Two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, are divided into two layers in the container The oil with small density is in the upper layer and the water with large density is in the lower layer If a proper surfactant is added under strong agitation, the oil is dispersed in water to form emulsion, which is called emulsification Emulsifier is the active agent which can make emulsification Food emulsifier is a kind of material which can improve the surface tension between various components in the emulsification system and form uniform dispersion or emulsion, also known as surfactant In other words, it is a kind of food additive that can change the complementary phase liquid into the evenly dispersed phase (emulsion), and add a small amount of it can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, and produce emulsification effect What about the use of excessive emulsifier food According to the editor, from the perspective of nutrition, it is not good for human body to use too much emulsifier Many studies think that too much emulsifier will bring harm to human stomach and liver Some studies say that if you eat too much emulsifier, it will do harm to people with poor kidney function Therefore, it is better to avoid using too much emulsifier for everyone's health Emulsifier food is better Is the edible emulsifier harmful? The edible standard of food additives in China also allows the emulsifier to be added into the food Under normal circumstances, if the standard of the emulsifier is in line with the edible standard of food additives in China, the edible emulsifier is not harmful, but it is better not to use it excessively, otherwise it is harmful to the human body We use the food safety detector If the emulsifier is over the standard, we can learn more about food additives, which is helpful for us to know more about food safety Editor in charge: he xianrob
