Recently, there are such posts in the WeChat circle of friends: "Some cooked corn smells particularly fragrant and cooked more fragrant than the family, but it tastes good, and the taste is particularly hard. It may be a special fragrance." The post says that it is true or false to add fragrance? Is such flavors harm the human body? The reporter verified this.
Why can't I bite the corn on the scene?
"In the past, the corn cooked at home was cooked for a long time, and the rice grains will be cooked and blooming, and corn kernels become softer and softer. Not bad. "Ms. Chen told reporters that she originally went to the morning market to buy it and wanted to be a corn for breakfast. She threw it aside without eating a few mouthfuls.
Indeed, many people have had similar experiences, and the cooked corn bought outside will taste particularly sweet. Regarding the questions of citizens, yesterday, Nong Shaozhuang, a professor of food science at Dalian University of Technology, believes that too sweet cooked corn does not rule out that individual illegal businesses have the possibility of adding corn flavor.
Nong Shaozhuang explained that when cooked corn, the more it should be cooked, because there are a lot of starch and lutein, and the corn kernels will be softened after a long period of heating. Add a kind of corn flavor, which contains a strong corn fragrance and even exceeds the fragrance of the corn itself. This fragrance can also maintain corn for a long time to be soft and rotten, which can extend the sales time.
The sweetness of corn may be greasy
In addition, some cooked corn taste is too sweet, and it may also add sugar. "The sweetness of sugar is 300 times that of ordinary sucrose, and it tastes more sweet." Nong Shaozhuang reminded.
The reporter inquired about the national standard of food additive GB 2760-2014 that corn belongs to raw grain and is not allowed to use food additives. Nong Shaozhuang also told reporters that when the sugar concentration is high or used alone, there will be metal and bitterness. As a food additive, it must be used in accordance with the scope and limited edition of the national standards specified in the national standard of food additives in the GB 2760-2014. Not allowed to be added.
Food additives must strictly abide by the regulations. "Sweet Corn Sperm" is directly used to cook corn illegal behaviors, which will damage the health of the consumers. From the perspective of the amount, it may cause damage to the liver once it exceeds the standard. Rough craftsmanship, incomplete process, etc., cause heavy metals in sugar essence. Long -term consumption may accumulate health in the human body. "
How to distinguish whether corn contains flavors?
Normally boiled corn, with a faint fragrance of corn, will not be too sweet. Because the sweetness of sugar is high, when cooked corn, if the sweetness of corn is too high, it is likely to use additives. in addition. If you cook corn after eating, you may also use additives in your mouth.
