Does food desiccant explode in water

Introduction: there are many unexpected things in life, such as the reaction of food desiccant when it is in use with water, some phenomena of scalding appear, so does food desiccant explode when it is in use with water? Now people have little knowledge about some food additives, so it is often said that the phenomenon of eating food desiccant by mistake occurs, so what are the hazards of desiccant ? if the contact between food desiccant and water may cause explosion, there are relevant reports After the combination of food desiccant and water, the water flowed into a boy's eyes and caused blindness Is it harmful? Let's learn about the problem of food desiccant explosion in water through the safety net of Baibai First of all, we need to see what kind of food desiccant it is Generally, lime desiccant will explode when encountering water The main component of lime is calcium oxide Calcium oxide in the face of water will produce a sharp chemical reaction, the instant release of a large number of heat If the amount of lime contained in the plastic bottle is large, the heat generated by chemical reaction will make the plastic bottle expand rapidly, which will cause the plastic bottle to burst seriously If the quantity is less or the cap is not sealed, the lime may burn the plastic bottle Silica gel desiccants generally do not react, so don't worry So not all food desiccants will explode in water, sometimes it's just a normal water absorption reaction, but it's important to know more about food safety knowledge in life It's recommended to prepare a food safety detector, which can know which food desiccant is, and know whether it will react in water Editor in charge: he xianrob
