    Introduction: there are two kinds of thickeners used in our daily life: oil and water So, what are the methods of using oil thickeners? Is it safe to add thickeners to food? These problems can be understood together with the small edition of Baibai safety net Thickeners are water-based and oil-based Especially the application of water phase thickener is more common Thickener is essentially a kind of rheological assistant After adding thickener, it can adjust the rheological property, make the adhesive and sealant thickened, prevent the filler from settling, give good physical and mechanical stability, control the rheological property in the construction process (no sagging, no dripping, no flying liquid during sizing), and also play a role in reducing the cost It is very important for the manufacture, storage and use of adhesives and sealants It can improve and adjust viscosity, and obtain stable, anti sinking, anti permeability, anti flowing, thixotropic and other properties Food grade thickener - meat meal is a water thickener, and it is also an oil thickening agent That is to say, it can absorb a lot of water when it meets water When it absorbs 30 times of water, it can form gels When it absorbs 50=-100 times, it can be mushy and water absorbs 100-200 times Meat meal is extracted from marine algae and konjac, the terrestrial plant In the process of growth, algae will absorb carbon dioxide in the sea through photosynthesis, which is good for the environment Adding meat meal to food is also a way of living that loves the earth and is green The usage of oil thickener is introduced in the small edition of Baibai safety net Before the usage of oil thickener, it must be soaked in cold water for several hours, so as to avoid a large number of bubbles and rigid blocks caused by the final expansion during heating After the complete expansion, it shall be heated by water separation, and the temperature of glue liquid shall be controlled below 70 ° C Make it completely dissolved before use The glue liquid that has not been used up shall be stored in a cold storage or a cool and ventilated place, so as to avoid hydrolysis and deterioration of the glue, which may affect the use Generally, the dosage is used in accordance with the national standards, because different products are produced with different dosage Is it safe to add thickeners to food? Because most of the thickeners added to food are extracted from natural plants, but they are not from nature Since our country has approved the use of thickeners, it means that the thickeners have been widely tested and are safe However, it does not rule out the excessive use of thickeners, or the illegal production of irregular thickeners, if eaten, it is certainly not safe, so we should pay attention The above is a brief introduction about thickeners You should also have a simple understanding We can learn more about food additives through understanding food safety knowledge, which will help us master food safety problems, and we can also use food safety tester to detect food safety Editor in charge: he xianrob
