Is there wax on the apple skin, the apples you buy have wax on them, yes?

Compared with the pulp, it has stronger antioxidant properties and can also prevent chronic diseases such as high blood pressure; But sometimes people will also have doubts, when eating apple peels, they feel that the surface will be oily and waxy, so is this layer of wax harmful to the body? He Jiguo, director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety of the College of Food Science and Technology of China Agricultural University, made it clear that this layer of wax food will not be harmful to the body, and everyone does not need to worry too much.

Fruit washing and waxing Fruit washing is to use soaking, rinsing, spraying and other methods to wash or use a brush to remove the dirt on the surface of the fruit, so as to improve the value of the commodity. Apples produced by the bagging method can eliminate the need to wash the fruit due to the clean surface of the fruit. Waxing is the application of a thin, uniform transparent film on the surface of the fruit, also known as a coating film.

After the fruit is waxed, it not only inhibits its respiration, reduces water evaporation and nutrient consumption, delays aging, but more importantly, enhances the luster, beauty and beauty of the fruit surface, and improves the value of the commodity. This method has become an important measure in modern fruit marketing, mostly used for pre-market fruit treatment, but also for long-distance transportation and short-term storage. Waxing is generally carried out after washing the fruit by manual dipping, brushing and mechanical waxing.

When a small amount is processed, the fruit can be dipped in the prepared coating solution by artificial methods, or the coating solution can be dipped in a soft brush, cotton cloth, etc. and evenly smeared on the fruit surface. When processing a large amount, the mechanical wax spraying has high efficiency and good effect. The complete set of equipment is composed of soaking tank, roller conveyor, cleaning and wax coating machine, air dryer, classifier and other equipment.

The coatings used for waxing mainly include emulsified wax of paraffin substances, shellac wax, fruit wax, etc.

Is that okay?

Take your nails and shave them, if there is something white.

I feel that it is particularly bright.

Yes, one is beautiful, and the other is to lock water! Generally, there is.

It's all rumors......Besides, who would be idle and smear the apple with pain?

Yes, most do.

Waxing is done to keep the fruit fresh and look better. Therefore, the relevant regulations in China allow artificial waxing of fruits, but the use of edible wax must be used. To remove this layer of cooking wax, it is very simple, rinse directly with hot water to remove this layer of artificial cooking wax on the surface of the apple.

However, due to cost considerations, it is not excluded that some non-distributors may use industrial wax, which is harmful to the human body. In addition to manually waxing apples, apples themselves also produce "wax" - fruit wax. The biggest difference with artificial waxing is that the wax of the apple itself cannot be scraped off.

It is recommended that when choosing waxed fruits, you can wipe the surface of the fruit with your hands or napkins, if you can wipe off a layer of light red, it may be industrial wax. The wax can be removed by rinsing with warm water or scrubbing with salt. But if the apples are coated with industrial wax, they are difficult to clean.

It is recommended to eat apples or should they be peeled.

In daily life, consumers should not pay too much attention to the bright appearance of fruits, eat more seasonal fruits, and carefully choose off-season fruits.

I'm sure many people have had this experience, in some supermarkets apples are big and red, the surface is very smooth, and they look like they want to eat it, but you may not know that those apples that look smoother and better are actually waxed!

There are three main types of wax on the peel: first, the wax on the surface of the fruit itself;

Second, some high-grade fruits are artificially added with edible wax. This "artificial fruit wax" is mostly extracted from crustaceans such as crabs and shells, and is not harmful to the body; The third is that unscrupulous vendors use industrial wax to wax fruits, which contain mercury and lead that may penetrate into the pulp through the peel.

The fruit wax and edible wax carried by the apple itself are edible, but the industrial wax cannot be eaten

Waxed apples Foreign apples among high-grade apples come to China "trekking through mountains and rivers", and in order to facilitate transportation, waxing is often taken on the skin to ensure that the "appearance" of the apples does not change after arriving at the destination. This artificially waxed apple has a very light skin and is particularly bright. At the same time, in order to keep apples fresh and make apples look better, many merchants will also wax apples, which is generally edible wax.

Edible wax is colorless and tasteless, and it is an additive allowed by the state to be used in fresh fruits, which is not harmful to the human body and can be eaten.

Beware of Hawker Industrial Wax Only fruits waxed with low-quality industrial wax can be harmful to health. When buying fruit, wipe the surface of the fruit with a paper towel, if you can wipe off a faint layer of red, it may be industrial wax, and it is best not to buy this fruit.

Wax treatment method One is to wash with salt, after the apple is wet, rub some salt on the skin, and then rub it back and forth with your hands, use salt grain friction to rub the dirt on the skin clean, and then clean it with water.

The second is to rinse with hot water, the melting point of the wax is low, and the water of about 60 degrees can wash off the wax on the surface, but the taste of the apple may be affected to a certain extent.

The third is to peel off the apples.

To be on the safe side, wax on apple peel should not be eaten.

One is the natural fruit wax on the surface of the apple, which is a lipid component, which is a plant protective layer generated on the surface of the apple, which can effectively prevent external microorganisms and pesticides from invading the pulp and play a protective role, which does not need to be removed.

The second is the edible wax artificially added to some imported apples, which is actually a chitosan substance, which is mostly extracted from crustaceans such as crabs and shells. This substance itself is not harmful to the body, and its function is mainly used to preserve the freshness of apples and prevent them from rotting and deteriorating during long-distance transportation and long-term storage. Removing this layer of wax is also very simple and can be removed by rinsing directly with hot water.

There is wax on the skin of apples, can you get poisoned if you eat it? If so, how do you choose?

There is "wax" on the apple skin, can it be poisoned if you eat it? Do you still have to peel apples?

Wash it and peel off the skin with a knife before eating. (because that's paraffin wax that can't be cleaned).

Hello, wipe it with paper, if there are traces of red wax, we should peel it and eat it, because it is an industrial grade wax. If the wax on it has no color, it can generally be washed to remove the wax and can be eaten with confidence.

We use a basin to prepare a basin of warm water, taking care that the temperature is not too high, and the apples are not hot and ripe. Warm water makes the wax on top of the apples easier to clean and put in a basin for later use.

We put the apples in warm water and wash the surface of the apples, as long as the surface is moist.

After that, we apply toothpaste to the apples, just a little bit, not too much, the toothpaste has a strong ability to remove stains.

After that, we apply toothpaste to the surface of the apple, do not put it in warm water, we wipe it repeatedly with our hands, we need to wipe it a little longer, just like brushing our teeth.

Finally, we put the apples in warm water, clean the toothpaste on the apples, and pay attention to change the warm water to avoid toothpaste residue. The time spent in warm water should also be kept as short as possible.

The wax can be removed.

1.Place the apples in hot water, taking care to keep them at a temperature that your hands can tolerate.

2.Apply toothpaste to the apples and gently rub them with a toothbrush.

Wash with water and wipe with a paper towel.

This kind of wax is actually an edible wax that is added artificially, mainly to keep apples fresh, and at the same time prevent apples from rotting and deteriorating during long-distance transportation and long-term storage.

The wax on apple peel is a chitosan substance, which is mostly extracted from crustaceans such as crabs, and is not harmful to the body, but it is best to wash it before eating. According to industry insiders, as long as the apple is put in warm water, the layer of edible wax on its surface will melt when heated. Hope the moderators get extra points!

Thank you!
