What is the compound emulsifier

Introduction: we all have a certain understanding of adding emulsifiers to food, such as bread, ice cream and milk So what is the compound emulsifier? Is it harmful to eat emulsifiers? These two questions can be answered Food emulsifier is an additive that can make insoluble liquid (such as oil and water) form stable emulsion in food processing There are many kinds of food emulsifiers, which are widely used In the total amount of food additives, the amount of emulsifier is about 1 / 2, which is the most used additive in the food industry However, all kinds of single emulsifiers often have limitations in properties In order to give full play to the role of emulsifiers, it is necessary to mix them A more stable emulsion can be produced by a suitable emulsifier than by a single emulsifier So almost all the products of emulsion use compound emulsifier Because suitable compound can improve the density of emulsifier in the mask and improve the performance of the product Nowadays, food emulsifier is developing in series, multi-function, high efficiency and easy to use The kinds of food emulsifiers are relatively stable, but new food and new food processing technology emerge in endlessly, and many series of compound emulsifiers can be obtained by scientific compounding with limited monomer emulsifiers What's the compound emulsifier? It's to mix one kind of emulsifier with other emulsifiers of different properties, or one kind of emulsifier with other similar types, or different functions The mixed emulsifier is more stable than the emulsion obtained by single emulsifier This is because the mixed emulsifier adsorbed on the water oil interface, and strong interaction between molecules can form a "composite", resulting in a significant decrease in interfacial tension, an increase in the amount of emulsifier adsorbed on the interface, the increase of the density of the interfacial film and the increase of the strength, which greatly improves the stability of the emulsion 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 However, the use of emulsifier should be moderate, not excessive, and excessive use of emulsifier will also harm the intestinal function We still hope that the government departments will strictly control a series of food additives, such as emulsifier We ordinary people should also pay attention to food safety knowledge, learn more about food additives, and can also pass the food safety detector Check the safety of food Editor in charge: he xianrob
