Our country has strict regulations on scope of application of caramel pigment and dosage
Recently, to" the caramel pigment that uses in food of other beverages such as coca-cola and Pepsi Cola is probably carcinogenic " which American masses' scientific centre releases Research report, Coca-Cola, American beverage association, American food beverage and consumer goods manufacturer's association criticize the reports of the scientific centre of American masses one after another " Non- responsible " ,Claim the caramel pigment will not cause cancer. At one time, about the caramel " good or bad " Dispute consumer like fall by cloud and mist.
" caramel " It is food additive in fact
It is reported the intersection of caramel and pigment one food additive actually, form industrialization, produce in the past, candy after the high temperature is boiled and boiled, form " burnt burnt candy " that ordinary people are commonly called as ,Used in the food and colour, increase taste. After industrialized standard produce, caramel pigment add, the chemical action produces from candy under the high-pressure high temperature by some catalysts. Our country calls these products respectively inferior sulfic acid ammonium laws, ammonia law, 3 kinds of burnt fried sugar products of common law according to different production technologies. The caramel in the batching of coca-cola is inferior ammonium law sulfic acid products.
Because of the high temperature, high density, high acidity between production technology and products, the bacterium is difficult to survive in the caramel pigment, therefore the caramel pigment has been considered to be one of the food additive products with very stable quality up until now all the time. So, the ones that initiated as to this coca-cola " may be carcinogenic" Say, each side disagrees too.
According to relevant media, the scientific centre of the public of U.S.A. warns, though American authorities have been permitting and using the caramel artificial pigment all the time, but such artificial caramel pigment composition will produce 2 - MI and 4 - MI two kinds chemicals in process of production, and it verify 2 - MI and 4 - MI will make the laboratory mouse suffer from lung cancer, hepatocarcinoma, thyroid gland cancer or leukemia that U.S.A. studies. It last caramel used coca-cola one party 2 - MI at all,but 4- is material to make food color not lasted " brown to become react " that be deepeneds brown at production process MI ,Will exist in various degree in culinary art at home. As to this, food of China Agricultural University and researcher of the project institute point out, the caramel pigment is one of the most frequently used pigment in food, when industrialization produces the caramel pigment, if the craft is unreasonable, may produce the toxic material of small quantity very much.
Our country produces the standard norm strictly
The caramel pigment is a kind of more food additive of consumption of food industry at present. According to the incomplete statistics, the domestic annual production is probably more than 20,000 tons now. How to guarantee its product quality? Implemented on February 1, 2002>National standard, " tie tight " for the manufacturing enterprise Inhibition.
