Why emulsifier should be used in food

Introduction: many foods we eat in our life contain emulsifier, such as bread, milk, chewing gum, etc why should we use emulsifier in food? Is it harmful to eat emulsifier? Next, we will explain it to you through the small edition of Baibo safety net 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 that can change the complementary phase liquid into the evenly dispersed phase (emulsion), and add a small amount of it can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, and produce emulsification effect Emulsifier is a material which can improve the surface tension between the constituent phases of emulsion and form uniform dispersion or emulsion It can stabilize the physical state of food, improve the organizational structure of food, simplify and control the food processing process, improve the flavor, taste, improve the quality of food, and extend the shelf life Why should emulsifier be used in food Xiaobian tells you that in the process of food processing, such as milk powder, ice cream, coffee, etc., it is necessary to evenly disperse the fat In order to mix the fat ingredients and water to form a uniform and stable emulsion, emulsifiers need to be added Otherwise, if we see a layer of bright oil, we will affect our appetite when eating food With emulsifier, oil and water can be mixed to form a stable emulsion There are also some solid foods with high oil content, such as cakes and ham intestines, which also need oil emulsification When they are gelled and solidified, they will not see oil on the surface and will not affect appetite There are also some food systems with more oil and less water The emulsifier is to disperse the water into small drops and distribute them evenly in the oil, typically butter Is edible emulsifier harmful? Generally speaking, the emulsifiers we eat are all in strict national standard dosage, which will not be harmful However, it is not ruled out that there are illegal businesses that overuse emulsifiers If overuse emulsifiers, it may be harmful to health In order to better understand the dosage of emulsifiers in food, we can use food safety detector In order to analyze emulsifier problems more accurately, we should know more about food safety Editor in charge: he xianrob
