Function of emulsifier

Introduction: a common food additive in our life is emulsifier Many bread, ice cream and other foods contain emulsifier What is the function of emulsifier? Is it harmful to eat emulsifier? We can learn about these problems together with Baibai safety net Why is the bread soft after several days? Some netizens said that it is because of the addition of emulsifier If the emulsifier is excessive, it will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease for those people with poor liver function, especially the elderly Today, a food safety expert and professor of the school of food science, Dalian University of technology, said that was not true In fact, many baked goods, including bread, will be added with emulsifiers in the process of production, not only in China, but also abroad Emulsifier has already passed strict toxicological safety evaluation, which is very safe Consumers don't need to pay attention to such online rumors, let alone fear 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 which can reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water and produce emulsification effect by changing the complementary phase liquid into the evenly dispersed phase emulsion As a common food additive, emulsifier is used to process food to help preserve food texture and extend shelf life What is the function of the emulsifier? The function of the emulsifier is to reduce the interfacial tension and form a protective film on the surface of the dispersed phase The role of emulsifier in food is emulsification; foaming; suspension; demulsification and defoaming; complexation; crystallization control; wetting; lubrication Is edible emulsifier harmful? In terms of safety, emulsifier has already passed strict toxicological safety evaluation and is very safe It is not only used in China, but also widely used in the world But the use of emulsifier should also be appropriate, not too much use, our understanding of emulsifier is still very little, you can learn about food safety knowledge and use of food safety detector, these two aspects can not only understand the information of food safety, but also detect whether there are excessive substances in food through detection Editor in charge: he xianrob
