With the development of science and technology in human life, food is a topic that people cannot avoid. There is an old Chinese saying: food is the first necessity of the people. Therefore, in terms of food, all kinds of food have been developed or evolved to meet the different needs of the people.
However, with the continuous evolution of food, in order to pursue a more unique taste and flavor of food, the emergence of food additives has led to the emergence of different opinions.
What are food additives?
Food additives are chemically synthesized or natural substances added to food to improve food quality, color, aroma and taste, as well as to meet the needs of antiseptic and processing technology. Through these products, various flavors of food can be improved, and the taste of food can be improved. There are more than 15,000 kinds of food additives approved in the world and various countries, and only more than 2,300 kinds of food additives are approved in China. So are food additives good? Do we need to use other products instead? Or what to use instead?
First of all, there is no doubt that the emergence of food additives is to develop in a good direction, but now there are many food additives and illegal food additives, such as melamine and so on. Therefore, people are also concerned about food additives or food additives to a certain extent.
So do we need to replace it with other products or with natural products?
First of all, there are more than 15,000 approved food additives all over the world. These are completely nothing to worry about, but it would be more natural if they could appear. More natural products to replace, it is naturally more worthy of recognition. Because these products are naturally produced, consumers will first use them with confidence, and secondly, for the body or food, they can be substituted without affecting health and taste, which is a good performance. Therefore, it would be better if there were more natural products to replace food additives.
What are the natural products we know that can replace food additives?
In terms of biological pigments: turmeric extracts, namely turmeric powder, lycopene, monascus red, etc., are all extracted from natural products, such as ginger, tomatoes and other foods, and are naturally pure and natural products that can be used.
In terms of vitamins, astaxanthin is also a pure natural product, which is extracted from algae.
In terms of food preservation, rosemary extract, carnosic acid extract, etc. have good effects, which is because these plants have good antioxidant effects. The antioxidants made from them are added to Food, of course, is also natural.
Therefore, in terms of food additives, if pure natural products can replace other products, it is naturally the best, which is also reassuring for people. With the development of science and technology, the use of plant extracts is not only limited to food additives, but also covers many fields such as medical treatment, beauty, industry and so on. And DN Biology has always followed the extraction of pure natural plant extracts, providing customers and consumers with better and safer plant extracts. We can also see that plant extracts will be a very potential market, slowly integrating into people's lives.
