    Introduction: do you know what is natural bulking agent? Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of natural bulking agent? Let's go to Baibai safety net to find out Natural bulking agent is extracted and purified from shell by special method It is completely natural, white and tasteless, containing 98% dietary fiber, and has great nutritional value It should have high-efficient water absorption and oil absorption capacity, and form the main network structure Bulking agent has great application value in food processing Here are the advantages and disadvantages of natural bulking agent Advantages 1 Neutral pure white powder, tasteless and odorless, does not affect the flavor and color of the product, and does not react with any raw materials 2 Water absorption is 7.4 times, oil absorption is 3.9 times, which can effectively reduce the cost and provide a good taste 3 It is not affected by acid and alkali, heat and freeze resistance, and high-speed shear does not affect its functionality 4 It can be added together with other dry materials or added after rehydration, which is convenient for use As a fashion food, puffed food, with its good taste and dazzling packaging, is loved by consumers, especially teenagers and children However, when you eat this delicious puffed food, you have thought about its harm to you According to experts, the current market expansion of food (including fried dough sticks and bread) almost all have excessive aluminum residue The reason for aluminum exceeding the standard is that the enterprise added baking powder (chemical bulking agent) to the food in the production process If we want to change the situation of aluminum exceeding the standard, we must choose non aluminum bulking agent However, the cost of non aluminum bulking agent is 3-4 times higher than that of common chemical bulking agent Therefore, in order to reduce the cost, some bad traders will inevitably choose low-cost chemical bulking agent, so the phenomenon of aluminum exceeding the standard still exists Aluminum is not a trace element needed by human body, but a harmful food pollutant Although aluminum is a low toxic metal element in toxicology, it will not cause acute poisoning, but the aluminum entering the cell can combine with a variety of important substances such as proteins, enzymes, adenosine triphosphate and so on, which will affect a variety of biochemical reactions in the body, interfere with the normal metabolism of cells and organs, lead to some dysfunction, and even some diseases Long term consumption of expanded food with high aluminum content will interfere with people's thinking, consciousness and memory function, and cause nervous system diseases, such as memory loss, visual and motor coordination failure, brain injury, mental decline, and dementia in severe cases Excessive intake of aluminum can also replace the calcium deposited in bone, inhibit bone formation, and cause osteomalacia In addition, most of the expanded foods with high aluminum content are high-fat and high calorie foods, which will make the body fluid acidic, and also easily lead to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other rich diseases At the same time, high salt and monosodium glutamate are common in puffed food, which can easily lead to hypertension and cardiovascular disease in adult children The above is the introduction of the relevant contents of the leavening agent Can the food leavening agent be eaten for a long time? We need to remind our friends that although the leavening agent is helpful for the taste effect of the food in the baking process, it will also cause harm to the body if it is eaten for a long time This is something that needs to be paid attention to by the food loving friends, not just food, We should pay more attention to health Now the country has a food safety detector, which can accurately check whether the food is safe, edible, and will not cause physical harm If you want to know more about food safety, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
