There are no side effects of alum filling in fritters

Alum is also known as alum, potassium alum, potassium alum, potassium alum, potassium alum.

Scientific name: potassium aluminum sulfate dodecaehydrate.

Molecular formula: kal(SO4)2·12H2O

Obviously, it is an aluminum salt, and many scientists have found that Alzheimer's disease is closely related to aluminum. At the same time, it has also been found that aluminum damages the function and immune function of the brain, heart, liver and kidneys of the human body. There are information reports:

Aluminum salts can cause memory loss in a person. A private research group in Australia says the widespread use of aluminium salt purified water can cause brain damage and cause severe memory loss, a symptom specific to Alzheimer's disease.

Experiments on rats showed that trace amounts of aluminum mixed with drinking water entered the brains of the rats and gradually accumulated there, and when they were given a glass of aluminium-treated water, the amount of aluminum in their brains reached measurable levels. As a result, the World Health Organization officially identified aluminum as a food contaminant and controlled it in 1989.

Judging from the current situation in China, a large amount of aluminum comes from aluminum-containing food additives. Aluminum-containing food additives are often used to fry fried foods such as fried fritters and oil cakes. The baking powder of aluminum-containing food additives is also commonly used in steamed buns, flower rolls, pastries, etc.

According to the results of random inspections by relevant departments, the aluminum content in each kilogram of oil cake exceeded 1000 mg. If you eat 50 g of such oil cakes, you will exceed the allowable intake of aluminum per person per day. Therefore, it is necessary to eat as little fried food as possible, use less aluminum-containing leavening agents as much as possible, and avoid using aluminum cookware and tableware as much as possible.

In addition, aluminum can also be ingested in drugs such as aluminum hydroxide, gastric suppine, antomine aluminum salt, aluminum niacin salt, aspirin, etc. About 4 mg is ingested due to the use of aluminum cookware and tableware, which dissolves aluminum in food.

The World Health Organization proposes that the daily intake of aluminum in the human body should not exceed 1 mg per kilogram of body weight, under normal circumstances, a person's daily intake of aluminum will never exceed this amount, but often drink water purified by aluminum salt, eat foods containing aluminum salt, such as fritters, vermicelli, cold powder, oil cakes, translocation canned soft drinks, etc., or often eat meals fried from aluminum cookware, which will increase people's aluminum intake, thereby affecting brain cell function, resulting in memory decline and sluggish thinking ability.

There is no ***, but these are all old recipes, and now they are all special additives bought in food additive stores. After mixing the noodles, you can fry them directly.

Alum contains aluminum, and eating too much will have *** on the nervous system (this is an accumulation***, which takes a long time to manifest; However, the child is in the development stage, and the time for *** may be shorter, mainly due to "memory impairment", "insomnia" and other reactions), but the amount of alum used in traditional Chinese medicine is very small (0 5 grams or more).

Eating too much will cause heavy metal poisoning! Alum contains metal aluminum!

Legal analysis: Alum can be used as a food additive, but it must be used within the specified range, excessive alum is illegal, alum is also called alum, is a traditional food additive, due to the aluminum, regular consumption will cause aging, osteoporosis and other symptoms, and even affect the nervous system, causing injury to others will be investigated for criminal responsibility.

Legal basis: Article 143 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China Anyone who produces or sells food that does not meet food safety standards and is sufficient to cause serious food poisoning accidents or other serious foodborne diseases shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or short-term detention and shall also be fined; where serious harm is caused to human health or there are other serious circumstances, a sentence of between three and seven years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given; where the consequences are especially serious, a sentence of 7 or more years imprisonment or indefinite imprisonment is to be given, and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property.

1. Alum is potassium sulfur aluminum in dodecadecahydrate, also known as alum or potassium alum, often used as a food rejection improver and leavening agent, mostly used in fritters, rice noodles and other foods.

2. The main purpose of adding alum to the fritters is to leak the cherry blossoms, make the fritters present a loose and porous structure, and maintain the soft characteristics of the fritters. After hydrolysis, alum becomes alkaline, and the dough rod added to the dough base becomes acidic, and the two undergo a chemical reaction in water to generate carbon dioxide gas, so that the fritters are porous and soft structure. Singing bands.

3. Alum contains aluminum, which may lead to excess aluminum in the body after eating a large amount of fritters for a long time. The main hazards are as follows:1

Affects intestinal absorption of phosphorus, iron, and calcium; 2.Affects blood cells and causes anemia; 3.It may cause cerebral neurotoxicity, affect intellectual development, and in severe cases, Alzheimer's disease.

4. In addition to adding alum, you can also use baking soda and stinky powder (ammonia bicarbonate) when making fritters. When heated, a chemical reaction occurs to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide, so the fluffiness of the fritters is better, and the fritters are larger and softer, but you can feel the smell of ammonia when you eat them.

The role of fritters plus alum:

Alum and baking soda are mixed together, and the two react with each other to produce carbon dioxide and aluminum hydroxide, in which the generated carbon dioxide can play a bulking effect, and the resulting aluminum hydroxide is doped in the fritters, which feels chewy and increases the taste.

Alum can be used to prepare aluminum salts, paints, tanning materials, clarifying agents, mordants, papermaking, waterproofing agents, etc.

One of the main uses is that it was often used as a water purification agent in the past: the principle is the aluminum hydroxide colloidal produced by the hydrolysis of aluminum ions, and the colloidal particles have a large variable area and are hollow and adsorptive, so as to purify water.

It should be noted that in the past, alum or ammonium aluminum sulfate was a food additive, but excessive intake of aluminum ions can cause dementia and mental development in adolescents and children.

Makes the texture crispy.

Baking soda is a kind of "food additive" that we often use in daily life, its composition is "sodium bicarbonate" (alkaline), and the composition of alum is "potassium aluminum sulfate", which is an acidic substance.

This reaction produces a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which is released to cause the dough to become fluffy.

The high-temperature frying environment will also speed up the reaction, which will make the carbon dioxide expand more when heated, which will also make the fritters more fluffy and crispy. In addition, the hydrolysate "aluminum hydroxide" produced by alum when it encounters water will also adsorb some impurities in the water, and then form some flocculents, which will also make the fritters more crispy.

1. Not all fritters have alum.

2. After adding alum, the fritters will swell a lot, very crispy, and there are many cracks in the skin. When alum and alkali are put into water, chemical changes occur between them, producing large amounts of carbon dioxide gas and flocculent aluminum hydroxide. When combined with the surface, the flocculent aluminum hydride rubs with the surface to produce a film, which encapsulates the carbon dioxide gas.

When the fritters are put into the hot oil pan, the carbon dioxide gas is heated and expands, causing the fritters to swell. This is the reason why you need to put alum and alkali in fried fritters. However, the ratio must be mastered, the more alum, the more aluminum hydroxide produced by hydrolysis, so that the fritters are hard, brittle, and foamy, and the oil consumption is large.

Alum can be used as a food additive, but it must be used within the specified range, it is illegal to add alum to excessive fritters, alum is also called alum, is a traditional food additive, due to the aluminum, often eaten by the search will cause aging, osteoporosis and other symptoms, and even affect the nervous system, causing harm to others will be investigated for criminal responsibility.
