Types of bulking agents

Introduction: the types of bulking agent are divided into single bulking agent and composite bulking agent The following is a summary of the types of bulking agent Today, Baibai safety net introduces the types of bulking agents? The types of chemical bulking agents are made up of edible chemicals, which can be divided into single bulking agent and composite bulking agent The commonly used single bulking agents are NaHCO3 and NH4HCO3 Both are basic compounds CO2 and other gases are produced by thermal decomposition NH4HCO3 is unstable to temperature and decomposes at baking temperature Na2CO3, the residue of NaHCO3 decomposition, will react with oil and fat at high temperature to produce saponification reaction, resulting in poor quality, impure taste, increased pH value, deepened color, and destruction of tissue structure; NH3 produced by NH4HCO3 decomposition is easily soluble in water to form NH4OH, resulting in odor and increased pH value of products, which has serious damage to vitamins Therefore, NaHCO3 and NH4HCO3 are usually only used for products with less water content, such as biscuits In the preparation of composite bulking agent, the reaction between NaHCO3 and acid should be as thorough as possible On the one hand, it can increase the gas production, and on the other hand, it can make the residue of baking powder be neutral salt, so as to maintain the color and taste of the finished product The chemical fermentation powder widely used in families and bakeries is a compound leavening agent, which is made of sodium aluminum sulfate and other acid salts (commonly known as fermentation acid), sodium bicarbonate, starch and other supplements In a word, the kinds of leavening agents are yeast and chemical leavening agents, which are widely used in our life and production However, we want to remind you that we should not use bulking agent in large quantities, because it may affect children's intellectual development, so we should also eat less food made of bulking agent Bulking agent is also a kind of food additive In many foods, bulking agent will be used Can the food bulking agent be eaten for a long time? In fact, if it is eaten according to the national regulations, it will not hurt people, and some will increase the nutritional value of food Now the state has a food safety detector , can accurately check whether the food is safe, edible, and will not cause physical injury If you want to know more about food safety, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
