"Children's soy sauce" is said to be high in price. It's not reliable to add more nutrition

There are also University questions in soy sauce Nowadays, when you go to the condiment area of the supermarket, you will soon be dazzled by various kinds of soy sauce: organic soy sauce, pure natural soy sauce, no added soy sauce, children's soy sauce There are various names, different prices and different standards The price of "children's soy sauce" is a little higher than that of "non children's soy sauce" Is the quality better? With questions, the reporter visited Shanghai supermarket and some food experts, "ask for freshness" The price of "children" has soared In a large supermarket near Zhongshan Park, all kinds of soy sauce in the seasoning area are particularly eye-catching, with rows of shelves In the main dark soy sauce pile, several bottles of soy sauce in light color "coat" attract people's attention, which reads "children's organic soy sauce" and also indicates "30% salt reduction" However, at a glance, a bottle of 160 ml "children's organic soy sauce" costs 29.9 yuan And its "neighbor", a special soy sauce in June, is also a 160 ml "body shape" The price is only 4.5 yuan The price of soy sauce is 6.6 times higher than that of soy sauce On the nutritional composition table, in the same serving (15 ml), the bottle of "children's organic soy sauce" contains 523 mg of sodium, while the "neighbor" super soy sauce contains 825 mg of sodium On the Internet, the propaganda of "children's soy sauce" is increasingly fierce Some advertisements call it "brewed low salt light soy sauce specially developed for children's health", and some businesses call themselves "the seasoning expert who can fully consider the taste characteristics of children in the development period, soft and delicious, rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates and other nutrients required by children, supplement children's growth needs in daily food and drink, and enhance children's appetite", etc Seeing such a "professional" commentary, young parents can't help believing it Soy sauce is not good for more According to Ma Zhiying, a food expert, soy sauce is actually divided into two categories: brewing soy sauce and making soy sauce As the name implies, soy sauce is made from soybean and wheat by fermentation The preparation of soy sauce is based on the content of brewing soy sauce not less than 50%, and then added with the permitted substances Reporters visited many supermarkets in Shanghai and found that most of the sales are brewing soy sauce, which is difficult to prepare Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration announced the sampling inspection of 11 kinds of food The results showed that in 697 batches of brewing soy sauce samples, the number of unqualified samples was 31, and the unqualified rate was 4.4% Among the 21 batches of soy sauce samples, 3 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified rate was 14.3%, which was the highest in this sampling inspection The main reasons for the unqualified spot check are that the microorganism exceeds the standard and the food additives are used beyond the limit Huang Zhihui, Secretary General of the seasoning Committee of Shanghai Food Association, said that there are several batches of amino acid nitrogen unqualified, which refers to the content of nitrogen element in the form of amino acid The higher the index, the higher the content of amino acids in soy sauce, the better the flavor The minimum content of amino acid nitrogen in soy sauce shall not be less than 0.4g/100ml There may be many reasons for the disqualification One of the reasons is that the ratio is not up to standard or inferior According to the standard, the content of brewing soy sauce should not be less than 50% in the preparation of soy sauce, but it is difficult for some small enterprises to reach it "Brewing soy sauce should be used as much as possible during home cooking." Ma Zhiying said Moreover, some experts pointed out that soy sauce is an important source of salt or sodium In general, soy sauce contains about 6% sodium - which means that if you eat a spoonful of soy sauce (about 15 grams) a day, you'll get about 40% of the adult's daily controlled intake of sodium For Shanghai families who like soy sauce, soy sauce is not more beneficial "Supplementary nutrition" is not reliable As for "children's soy sauce", according to the reporter, there is no relevant standard Famous popular science writer Yun inadvertently pointed out some of the gimmicks First, "children's soy sauce" is low in salt Traditional soy sauce often contains more salt, because the high salt content has a certain antiseptic effect In modern society, soy sauce needs to be repackaged, transported and preserved, with a considerable shelf life The salt content of soy sauce can not be too high, and its antiseptic effect is limited Therefore, some preservatives, such as potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate, will be added Cloud inadvertently said that many consumers are upset when they hear about preservatives In fact, they are all very safe - the amount of preservatives is not high, and the consumption of soy sauce is very small, which is not worth worrying about at all Because high salt is a great health risk, some manufacturers develop "low salt soy sauce", which reduces the salt consumption by about half, but the corrosion pressure is greater, which is inseparable from the preservative Second, "children's soy sauce" supplement nutrition There are some proteins, polypeptides or amino acids in soy sauce, but the content is only a few percent Considering that soy sauce is a seasoning, the daily consumption is usually a few to ten grams, and the contribution of protein and amino acid to nutrition can be ignored As for the "organic acids" and "carbohydrates" in the mouth of the businessmen, they are even more fooling They eat vegetables, fruits, rice and steamed bread casually, "organic acids" and "carbohydrates" are much more than soy sauce Therefore, no matter how "children's soy sauce" is "carefully developed", the so-called "supplementary nutrition" is not very reliable Chen Jie
