" brightening agent of flour " Go or stay to cause the dispute The expert is thought to exist and misunderstood
[Cross and oxidize benzene formyl ]
Pass and oxidize benzene formyl and was introduced from foreign countries at the end of the eighties of last century in our country, and generally use in the flour, is commonly called as " brightening agent of flour " . Cross and oxidize benzene formyl under the function of water and enzyme in the flour, react, release active oxygen and coloured material of small quantity while oxidizing the flour very much and achieve the goal of making the flour brighten, benzoic acid produced at the same time, can play and defend the function such as being mould on the flour.
In recent years, allow to continue using " brightening agent " in the flour ,Have already become the old problem of debating endlessly. Dispute and mainly concentrate on two respects, an edible security of endangering the user, whether on the other hand the country has already forbidden.
The person maintaining prohibit using and oxidizing benzene formyl thinks, it is only brightening agent of flour to cross and oxidize benzene formyl, only brighten function on the flour, does not have essence that is improved to flour quality. Someone even thinks, it may cause the chronic benzene poisoning to eat and oxidize benzene formyl for a long time.
"This is totally misunderstood. " Food security expert, Chen JunShi, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, said to reporters the day before yesterday: "If will bring the safe problem to oxidize benzene formyl to use in the flour, will not prove unless take out the data. "
Chen JunShi has taken the post as the Deputy Director of Ins of Nutrition Food Hygiene of China Preventive Medicial Science Inst, society's Vice President of China's toxicity. He has shown clearly, do not agree in prohibiting using and oxidizing benzene formyl.
In finish, solicit opinion in " national standard food additive of food security uses the standard " just, cross and oxidize benzene formyl and is orientated as the flour " Deal with pharmaceutical, bleaching agent " ,The maximum consumption is 0.06 grams per kilogram. Relevant experts say, this consumption compares with standard in the past, has not changed.
"Our country is very prudent for limit of food additive to make the standard. Use under this standard, will not cause the safe problem. " Chen JunShi emphasizes, this has clear experimental data.
"It actually flour deals with pharmaceutical to cross and oxidize benzene formyl. Such as while baking the bread, can make, it bakes the result to be better. " Chen JunShi thinks, the public is equivalent to crossing and oxidizing benzene formyl and brightening agent, it is the greatest misunderstanding.
To that " some countries prohibit using and oxidizing benzene formyl " Statement, the intersection of you and stone Chen explain, this too actually be misunderstood. Because these countries have no enterprise to apply to regard it as additive at all, because cross and oxidize benzene formyl " Poisonous " . A lot of countries allow to use. Chen JunShi thinks, crosses and oxidizes benzene formyl to enter additive list. "Should cancel a kind of additive, it must be because of food security. "
The expert reveals, grain departments or grain enterprises maintain that there are other reasons to cancel and oxidize benzene formyl. In the course of passing and oxidizing benzene formyl and using, the small enterprise often exceeds standard to add, will make the flour look whiter, and some consumers think by mistake the whiter the better, in this way, will produce the pressure to the sale of the big enterprise.
