"beef cream" incident caused widespread attention. Yesterday morning, the reporter interviewed the chief expert of the Guangdong provincial food quality safety expert group and the Guangdong food additive professional commissioner. Professor Chen Yongquan, director general of South China Agricultural University and the school of food science of South China Agricultural University, unveiled the veil of "beef paste" for the public and restored the real "beef paste". During the interview, Chen Yongquan said, "beef paste" has long been a common occurrence for the public, and the beef flavor seasoning bag in the instant noodles is common.
[b] experts say the ingredients package is made up, but some manufacturers call "beef from the beef" [/b]
[b] beef cream can only be used on beef [/b]
Chen Yongquan said, "beef cream", if not run as a commodity, is used only by the family. It is used to add flavor to the soup, such as the chicken essence that is commonly used in the family. Even a number of cooking units, such as hotels, restaurants, and noodle houses, can only further enhance the aroma of beef with real beef, and not "change" all kinds of meat into beef. "
" someone, driven by a sharp profit, makes fake (using "beef cream" to sell pork to beef), which is the user's problem and should not put the responsibility on the production enterprise of "beef cream". Chen Yongquan said the problems exposed by "beef cream" are mainly the use of units (such as restaurants), which are not the problem of food additives. "Beef cream" itself is no problem.
[b] food can not be separated from the additive [/b]
Chen Yongquan said, "food additives contribute greatly to people's life and food industry. But its use has strict requirements, one is the amount of use, there are specific provisions. The other is the scope of use, which foods can be used on the corresponding additives, there are provisions. If this regulation is violated, no matter what food it is, it can not be listed. (national management of food additives) is also very strict.
Chen Yongquan pointed out that our country does have problems with regard to the use of modern food additives. Among them, abuse is the addition of food additives that should not be used on a food product. At the same time, the problem of excessive use of food additives also exists. Some enterprises are not always accurate in their usage. Strict management of food additives is aimed at making the food industry healthier and ensuring the health of consumers.
Chen Yongquan stressed: "we must have a correct understanding of food additives, without which there will be no modern food industry. Some people may ask, "in the past, our ancestors did not have food additives. Did they come here like this?" But we are not in a self-sufficient and natural economic society, in the era of modern commodity economy, and in the fast pace of life, no food additives are not possible. Because the food is to circulate, there is a problem of anticorrosion and shelf life, how to keep the flavor and nutrition of the food better, which can not be separated from the food additives.
he gave a vivid example to the reporter, "peanut oil is easily oxidized and deteriorated without adding antioxidants (a food additive) that is well known to everyday people. Once spoiled, the carcinogen produced by peanut oil has a greater impact on human health than the addition of antioxidants.
[b] aeration: instant noodles generally contain "beef cream" [/b]
in the interview process yesterday, Chen Yongquan told reporters that in our daily life, we often come into contact with the instant noodles, and the condiment bags are made up with "beef paste".
Chen Yongquan introduced, "flavor is mainly divided into sweet and salty flavor. Sweet flavors are mainly used in drinks and desserts. Salty flavors are widely used in condiments, including instant noodle ingredients. "Beef paste" is salty flavor, instant noodle beef seasoning bag actually contains "beef paste". But the public does not need to panic. As long as it is controlled in a certain amount, eating will not cause immediate harm to the human body.
the reporter then bought two beef flavour instant noodles on the market, and found that the ingredients of "beef powder" were found in the two noodle ingredients. The reporter then compared the ingredients of a brand of "beef paste" with the ingredients of instant noodle sauce, and found that the materials used were very similar.
[b] manufacturer: "beef essence" is natural extraction of [/b]
this, reporter interviewed "Kang master instant noodle" manufacturer - Guangzhou top food Co., Ltd. Chen Gongru, the spokesman, said that the beef flavour in the beef flavour bag made by DAPI did not add the so-called "beef paste" on the market, but the beef was cooked and cut, so it was not necessary to add "beef paste".
the reporter asked why the packaging of instant noodles was marked with "beef powder". Is it the same as the "beef cream" that is bought on the market? Chen Gongru said that the company's research and development of the ingredients are in line with the relevant national regulations, and the company's "beef essence" is from beef natural extraction, and the market on the "beef paste" is very different from the market. Moreover, according to the national standard, "beef paste" can be a compound condiment, or a food additive, and is internationally recognized as a natural flavor. As long as it is used in the specification, there is no hidden danger.
