Whenever a great food security problem takes place, the focus that food additive will be queried as the public opinion. Began to serve human food additive 10,000 years ago, why " shoulder the black pan " repeatedly ? " sensitive " Food additive " economic in China for weekly magazine " for reporter Song XueLian / Beijing report With the improvement of people's living standard, it is safe that consumers pay attention to the diet health and hygiene more and more, after especially whenever a great food security problem takes place, food additive will suffer very fierce query. While selecting the food, people will see whether the food contains preservatives more carefully too, whether use pigment,etc.. Phenomenon that strike torror at the topic of food additive can only let some producer Israel even " This product does not include any preservative " , not " including food additive " Attract consumers' eyeball when marking. "The food producer so-called ' excluding ', identification on ' add ' abuse food additive actually food additive security issue, the safe problem of hygiene of using the industrial chemicals to cause illegally is mixed in order to discuss. " On September 24, Deputy Director Wang ZhuTian say when being interviewed by " China's economic weekly magazine " for prevention from suffering from the diseases and nutrition and food security of control centre in China, "food security incident happening in recent years such as the Sudan's red incident and present infant and pre-school children's milk power incident, all add the thing that is not food additive the food. It is mixed that originally to make false, but let food additive shoulder the black pan. " Wang ZhuTian points out, there is no important function on food additive is in the food industry, so long as use food additive scientifically and rationally, the healthy life to people of food additive is still very beneficial, there should all be a correct understanding in the masses of consumers and the media. If an authority without international food additive alliance of food additive has ever said so: It is an important sign that differentiates animal of mankind to use food additive. "The processing course of the modern human food is using the course of food additive, and brought the change on mouthfeel and appearance to us and made the food keep good in color, smell and taste in the course of circulating and transporting. Can you imagine how over it is life without food additive? " Wang ZhuTian says to reporters. Noun of food additive this began with western industrial revolution, but its direct application can be traced back to 10,000 years ago. China has records using the natural pigment in the food in ancient times, the ones that ordered and made bean curd and used in China's tradition solidified the salt brine of pharmaceutical, there is application in A.D. 25 - the Eastern Han Dynasty of 220 years, and been spreading so far all the time. And the salt is our most frequently used food additive. Because industrial revolution causes people to improve the requirements for assortment and quality of the food to the food and change that the food industry brings. Development of science and technology, also promoted people in order to pursue and preserve the food better greatly, improve the application in knowledge and technology about food additive carried on such as food and improving colour, fragrance and taste. "Expediting the emergence of much fast food such as instant noodles with quick pace of modern life, a lot of white collar having to work a busy schedule is eating. But if there is not food additive, the instant noodles can not exist. " Wang ZhuTian says, " and then can't eat candies, should meet their taste demand such as the diabetes patient, will add edulcorant not sucking the candy soon. In addition there is consumer seeing, imperceptible food additive, such as stabilizer,etc., without them, the output of the products can not go up. " "Large-scale modern food industry, it is based on food additive. If does not really add food additive, is only afraid most food will be ugly, terrible, difficult to keep, or the price is high, consumers can not accept. " Wang ZhuTian says, " do or we go back simply anciently to eat raw materials? But can we go back? " " in food additive that we used that food additive proves it is even tighter than medicines, the majority is that chemistry formates products. " ZhuTian Wang tell " the the intersection of China and economic weekly magazine " whether chemical industry especially development to formate chemical industry, make food additive enter a new acceleration developing stage. The chemicals of a lot of artificial synthesis, for instance colorant agents,etc. are applied to food processing in a large amount in succession. "And the birth of every kind of new food additive, will all bring the enormous push to food industry. " More than 100 years ago, the industrial revolution of Britain expedited the emergence of the rapid development of the textile industry, thereupon rise of printing and dyeing industry, and so long as present a kind of dyestuffs, people will apply it to the food and serve as the pigment soon. But people realize quickly food additive of the artificial synthesis may bring danger to human health, combine with the development in science and technology such as toxicology and chemical analysis, get at the beginning of the 20th century to find many food additive that shouldn't be added are harmful to human body in succession. Then successively organized and set up " FAO/WHO food additive united Committee of Experts (JECFA) " in 1955 and 1962 in the world " With " code committee of food additive (CCFA) " (The latter renamed as food additive and pollutant regulation committee, namely CCFAC in 1988; Renamed as CCFA, China country) in order to preside over in 2006 ,Concentrate on studying the security problem of food additive, and put forward and recommend the suggestion to all the countries concerned and organization, thus make food additive get onto the right track of sound development progressively. According to the introduction of Wang ZhuTian, in the reseach of food additive, tests such as strict toxicity, toxicity,etc. are required. Such as through testing animal, the ones that confirmed and tested the animal are too maximum to have function quantity, consider safety coefficient of difference among the species and in the species ' It is generally 100 times) ,And then obtain the maximum dose that people allow to take in every day. "Need to verify curative effect with medicines, and allow certain a different one of side effect, food additive is from beginning to develop and begin, it was its security that considered at first. In U.S.A., even tested the case not succeeding in ten years, it is not allowed to use absolutely that unsafe. " Wang ZhuTian introduces to " China's economic weekly magazine ", " all new varieties of food additive that agrees to use in our country, decided through the test even stricter than medicines, appraised through strict toxicity while, and what is stipulated in the scope of application strictly and uses at most puts a limit on quantity, so long as used according to the regulation, the security of food additive is guaranteed. " The domestic standard has already been integrated with world as the important material that used in the processing course of food production, food additive and ensures the food security to play an essential role to the industrial development of food. The 25th of March of this year The sun, Chinese Health Ministry releases new " food additive uses the sanitary standard " formally (call " new standard " in the following text ),And step aside on June 1? Avoid 8 cap Yao's border of �Ч� to steal? Revised on 996 standards of edition, the new standard stipulated 22 kinds, amounted to the using priciples and ranges of 1812 kinds of food additive, 290 kinds of additive among them, 1528 kinds of spices, process 149 kinds of auxiliary, 50 kinds basic pharmaceuticals of nurse's candy of glue. The new standard compares the advanced achievement with countries such as international food code committee of absorption and U.S.A., European Union,etc., have improved applicability and advance. First of our country it is issued to the beginning of the eighties of last century that " food additive uses the sanitary standard ". As food industry and food additive develop, and the diet health which the public is increasing constantly needs, Ministry of Public Health successively issued " food additive used the sanitary standard " 1981, 1986, 1996 amounted to three editions, have organized experts to revise the standard many times too during this time. The new standard released this time is the sixth revision, it is the more overall one too. "New and standard food additive variety has increased 312 varieties than original 1500 pieces of assortment, among them some standards were not have originally by us, mainly consulted international standard formulation, principle, procedure,etc. have all already been integrated with world. " ZhuTian Wang say and annual country too can announce, augment variety and scope of application of enlargement of food additive successively. ZhuTian Wang define new standard to 6 requirements that food additive use to reporter especially: Should not produce danger of any health to the human body; Should not conceal the food putridly and deterioratedly; Should conceal food or the intersection of quality and defect in the processing course or use food additive with the purpose of mixing, adulterating, forging; Should not reduce the nutritive value of food; Reduce the consumption in the food while reaching and expecting the result as much as possible; Food process auxiliary, should remove before making the last finished product generally while being industrial ' Unless there is the remaining amount in fixed food) . "As far as I know, in a situation that carried out according to the standard, have not found yet both at home and abroad which kind of food additive caused the evidence of disease. " Wang ZhuTian says, " certainly, scientific development may influence assessment in the past, but it is to ensure security to make the standard purpose, this can't be ignored. " The gas defense of food needs to be all-round to enclose stopping up according to the introduction of Wang ZhuTian, the using priciple of food additive is a normal need met in the food processing course, can't destroy due nutrition while improving quality, should guarantee the security even more. "The negative effect of additive just uses the question mainly. " Wang ZhuTian says, " for example some food has gone bad a bit, some bad manufacturers add a large number of preservatives, spices,etc. adds a lot too, in order to conceal the rotten defect. And as red and gathering cyanogen amine,etc. three times as the Sudan, no requirement which accords with the food additive, not merely there is not any function of improving food quality in the food craft, will endanger the health instead, but is used as food additive. " Wang ZhuTian introduces, finds mainly there are two kinds of out-of-range ways to use of food additive, first, the supervision department finds in process of production, second, the sampling inspection done on products. After infant and pre-school children's milk power incident break out, a lot of people criticize the too relevant to measure the department preexamination in advance. "As to the industrial chemicals in food additive range what has already known at present is several ten thousand kinds, we can measure out in theory. " Wang ZhuTian tells reporters, " who but prevented by detection means to add the thing that shouldn't be added, how largely to say cycle, how high the cost is, and we do not know at all what the law-breaker adds, so such detection is nearly to drag for the needle in the sea. " Wang ZhuTian says, though our country has already issued a series of laws and regulations in safe supervision of the food hygiene in recent years, and put into the ample resources in supervising safely in food hygiene, but the food measures the project is limited after all, it is impossible to stop up all illegal activities. He says: "Guarantee the food hygiene is safe, need to devote more efforts to propagating in law popularization, need economic mechanism's benign guide. The food hygiene security supervision departments of different food trades should study its target that supervises specifically constantly too, inspect the question appearing and question exposed by random samples, the employer's organization should strengthen the trade norm at the same time.
