Thickener - Enhanced Solid beverage Taste
Representative of products: instant pollen type, instant fruit juice category
Any account State, the thickener composition is mainly cellulose, which is more Carbohydrate Common are dehydration of cellulose, cellulose sodium salt, sodium alginate, xanthan gum. "Solid beverage, some soluble in water, some not, the role of thickener is not soluble in water so that the material floating in Drinks Not sink to the bottom of, enhance the taste. Such as almond flour, if it is pure raw water must sink to the bottom of the post. "
Maltodextrin - "sugar-free food" often appears
Representative products: almond flour, polenta, lotus root, etc.
Maltodextrin is also a polysaccharide, is Starch After hydrolysis product. What is a "fine" as if the material is bad, in fact, maltodextrin did not harm the human body absorb decomposed to generate energy.
Many sugar-free beverages are malt dextrin solid ingredients, in fact, these sugar-free beverage powder refined sugar, no sugar, etc., "Malt dextrin is also the end product of glucose and other polysaccharides, but the conversion process is very slow absorption , a moderate increase of blood sugar, which is not Huqihula. "
Sour agent / acidity regulator - Industrial purification can be no impurities
Representative products: juice drinks instant products
Sour agent is relatively safe an additive, almost no national standards limit their consumption, manufacturers can produce required. Sour synthetic organic acid-based agent, "Do not think that industrial synthesis are bad, industrialization can provide very pure organic acids, impurities removed some bad."
Synthesized mainly in two ways, one is through the industrial purification of natural substances, synthetic, such as vitamin C. The other is the synthesis of human nature does not own the material, or eat as well.
Aspartame is a Sweeteners The sweetness is not very high but the energy is absorbed, it can be used as sugar, food ingredients. "Aspartame is the artificial sweeteners, low cost, the amount within a certain standard will neither harm the health, but also to reduce sugar intake, and reduce product cost, or should be promoted,"
Dairy Creamer - contain trans fatty acids
Representative products: tea, coffee, juice drinks
"Creamer are not good for a class Food Additives , Mainly saturated fats and oils. "Creamer generally by means of the vegetable oil industry into saturated fats and oils, a generation of fatty substances.
"The problem is that creamer containing trans fatty acids, this substance can increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease risk." Natural oils without trans fatty acids is, in fact, trans fatty acids are unsaturated vegetable oils industry will be by-product of vegetable oil into saturation.
Dietary fiber digestion and absorption of the human body can not stay only in the intestine of a class of polysaccharide, the main role is laxative, but also reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. Dietary fiber is divided into two kinds of non-soluble and soluble, insoluble fiber mainly from vegetables and wheat bran. "Adding dietary fiber is actually a good idea, both health effects, can reduce product costs."
