Bromine acid potassium: Hide the violated material in the bread

Bromine acid potassium: Hide the violated material in the bread
Slice the bread, sweetened bean paste bread, French croissant These are the food that we can not be familiar with again. But recently, Guangzhou Municipal Quality Supervision Department is to finding in the inspections of bread producer and some bread modifier producers, some bread modifier has added bromine sour potassium that our country has already forbidden using as far back as 2005. This kind of material is regarded as a kind of carcinogen by World Health Organization.
Contain the bread of this kind of material, whether will appear on the dining table in Beijing? Taking this doubt, reporters are engaged in finding one the insider for many years of the food industry.
"It is powder of high muscle, egg, water, yeast to generally use as bread raw materials. But goodlooking for appearance, will add some modifier in the bread now, this can let bread take place large tasting the intersection of muscle and dish. " A chef who has worked in Beijing Hotel for many years says, in fact, make bread and does not add modifier first; At that time, if you want to will increase the intersection of muscle and degree and mouthfeel, people of bread water of hops putting some making wine, this kind of material has a special perfume. Chairman Mao Zedong likes eating the bread made of water of hops very much, even after modifier of bread appears, he demands to eat water bread of hops.
This chef reveals, the use of general modifier, it is within the range that the country stipulates; But some small workshops, in order to save the cost, will add some cheap raw materials in violation of rules and regulations. For example, in the regular store, 8 inches for a diameter size cake will generally sell for 65 yuan, but the one that sold in batches on the market needed only 38 yuan, even so, the profit among them is not low.
"As far as I know, some shops may replace modifier of bread with bromine sour potassium, even add some industry pigment to lower costs, increase the appearance. Regular bread modifier of 500 grams, probably need 20 yuan, but prices of 500 grams of bromine sour potassium are only about 9 yuans, and make bread with bromine acid potassium, the fermenting speed is faster, the mouthfeel is more soft, it is generally acknowledged and ' good and inexpensive '. " This chef says.
In one bake house, composition that mark out flour, water, egg, salt, modifier at one 10 the intersection of section and bread that put pack. The reporter inquires the composition of modifier of staff member of the bake house, they just emphasize, it is in order to be fermented and prevented going bad to put into modifier. And is mostly customer coming to buy the bread, as to this almost know nothing.
"In the regular bread is made, modifier mainly includes oxidant, emulsifier, enzymic preparation, defend mould pharmaceutical,etc.. " An expert insisting on anonymity of China Agricultural University introduces, oxidant can strengthen the dough and hold temperament, elasticity and toughness, inhibit the activity of protease in the flour, protect the muscle strength of the dough. Ones that can play oxidant function, mainly have amylase and vitamin C,etc..
Emulsifier is as it always goes, " Resist aging pharmaceutical " ,It interacts with protein through the starch in the flour, gets up and strengthens the gluten, lengthen function of keeping fresh for period etc.. Use the most emulsifier to acyl Sodium lactate of tristearin, calcium tristearin acyl lactic acid,etc.. Enzymic preparation including wood gather carbohydrase, the intersection of glucose and oxidase,etc. generally, these enzymes can improve elasticity and intensity of the gluten, improve the dough to holding capacity and stability fermented, still can increase the volume of the bread. In addition, in order to prevent the bread from being stale, will add materials such as some third sour calcium and third sour sodium,etc., these materials can be absorbed, utilized by the human body.
"Bromine sour potassium was once legal bread modifier that is added, it could act as the bearing. But later, because it have carcinogenic possibility, until the majority of countries forbade in the world. " Specially say in China Agricultural University Professor Li.
This kind of crystalline particle of white which is soluble in water, the carbon dioxide that can let yeast produce is distributed in the dough evenly; The bread after making is soft, inside is fine and smooth, the particle is even, reach very good quality. So in the garniture of numerous bread, bromine sour potassium has been considered as finest one.
However, U.S.A. researchers' experiment proves, bromine sour potassium can cause vomiting, suffer from diarrhoea, renal obstacle, ferrihemoglobin blood, even cause kidney cancer. This view has been verified in domestic research too. So in 1992, in Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations united the report No. 39 of professional committee with food additive of World Health Organization, bromine sour potassium is regarded as a kind of carcinogenic harmful substance clearly. At present, the main country all forbid adding bromine sour potassium in the food in the world. Our country forbade the use of this kind of material on July 1, 2005 too.
"But up to now, people are still looking for the substitute of bromine impractical potassium. Low can give play to the role of oxidant to gather similar materials such as wooden carbohydrase,etc. to a certain extent, the ones that but if got rid of bromine sour potassium getting carcinogenic, result and cost are not but also as bromine sour potassium. So, some producers of detection of Guangzhou are spending bromine sour potassium even, it may be this reason. " Specially say in Lee.
"In fact, without food additive, there is no various cake, additive is the indispensable part in the food. The masses needn't be panic. " International general secretary of food packing association gold lion Dong say country's consumption, usage to additive have strict control, and issued " food additive uses the sanitary standard ", so long as use additive safely and legally, will not cause the damage to the human body.
But need to cause attention, enterprises should clearly mark the material added specifically. Gold lion Dong say, according to national regulation, over 1% material of content, need marking clearly; Though this regulation was not enforced now, there is no concrete composition, there is only general " additive " on food packing One, it is apt to let consumers produce worry.
"Even the the whole compositions mark clear, can't get rid of some enterprises and seek loopholes either. Nowadays, laws and regulations such as " food safety law " of our country,etc. are all sounder, the food enterprises in violation of rules and regulations will face severe investigation. " Gold lion Dong say.
