Dosage standard of thickener in food

Introduction: we all know that many foods are added with food thickener, so what is the dosage standard of thickener in the food? Is it safe to add thickener in the food? Let's have a brief introduction to Baibai safety net Thickener, also known as gelling agent, is also known as paste or food gel when used in food It can increase the viscosity of the system and keep the system in a uniform stable suspension state or opacification state, or form a gel Widely used in food, coating, adhesives, cosmetics, detergents, printing and dyeing, rubber, medicine and other fields Thickeners are mostly hydrophilic polymer compounds, which can be divided into animal, plant, mineral, synthetic or semi synthetic according to their sources It can be simply divided into two categories: natural and synthetic The thickeners commonly used in beverage production and the thickeners used as emulsion stabilizers mainly include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, propylene glycol alginate, carrageenan, xanthan gum, pectin, guar gum, Robinia bean gum, etc What is the dosage standard of thickener in food? The small edition of Baibai safety net introduces the dosage standard of several thickeners 1 Carboxymethylcellulose sodium has many functions, such as thickening, suspension, emulsification, stability and so on In beverage production, it is mainly used as thickener of fruit juice beverage, emulsion stabilizer of protein beverage and stabilizer of sour milk beverage The dosage is generally 0.1% - 0.5% 2 PGA: PGA is a light yellow slightly fragrant powder, soluble in water, with a general dosage of 1% When the concentration is high, the viscosity is large, and when the temperature is high, the viscosity decreases It can also be used as a stabilizer for fruit juice, yogurt and emulsifying agents The general dosage of PGA is 0.1% - 0.5% 3, xanthan gum: it can be widely used in thickeners, emulsifiers, stabilizers and gel fortifiers It can be used in pulp drinks, protein drinks and so on, which can increase the strong feeling of drinks and stabilize the suspension of various components Xanthan gum can also be used in solid powder drinks with a standard dosage of 1% 4, carrageenan: thickener, suspension, gel, emulsifier and stabilizer, the general consumption of 0.03% - 0.5% For example, the dosage of cocoa milk is 0.025% - 0.035%, the milk gel is 0.2% - 0.3%, the yogurt is 0.02% - 0.03%, and the K and the beverage are selected At the same time, carrageenan and Robinia gum have synergistic effect, which can improve the milk strength and viscosity Xiaobian simply introduces the dosage standards of several common thickeners, which we must pay attention to Is it safe to add thickener in food? Within the normal dosage standard stipulated by our country, and the thickeners used are thickeners produced by regular manufacturers, then, they are generally safe, but because there are many food additives in food, we'd better not eat them often to avoid the harm to human body caused by long-term or excessive consumption of thickeners For the sake of our health, we should also learn more about food safety and learn more about food safety problems, which is helpful to us For the use of food safety detector, it is also a good tool to detect food safety Editor in charge: he xianrob
