A worker in the industrial and commercial department said that there are many ways to make fake Chili noodles, but most of them are mixed with synthetic pigments, artificial capsaicin or wheat bran, corn flour, cereal and sawdust. The purpose is to cheat consumers and make money. Lemon yellow can be used in juice drinks, carbonated drinks, mixed wine, candy and lactic acid bacteria drinks, and pickled side dishes, but the dosage is strictly limited. Because if people eat a lot of food with excessive pigment such as "lemon yellow" for a long time or at one time, it may cause allergies, diarrhea and other symptoms. Carmine is an edible pigment additive, which is only allowed to be used in some processed foods. Long-term overdose will cause cancer in some organs of the human body and do great harm to the human body. How to identify whether Chili noodles are synthetic processing? The industrial and commercial personnel said: 1. Sensory test: Normal Chili powder is dark red or reddish yellow, with uniform powder, inherent Chili flavor and pungent smell. 2. You can taste it with your mouth. The adulterated Chili noodles are light yellow in color and have high viscosity in your mouth. Throw them into the water and paste them. 3, combustion test: take a little pepper noodles into the pot, slowly heat and burn until smoke. Normal Chili powder gives off a strong choking smell, which makes you cough and sneeze; Adulterated Chili powder only sees smoke, but can't smell choking, or the smell is not strong. Tip: Four Tips for Identifying True and False Chili Powder The following are some tips for identifying true and false Chili powder: 1. Smell: The adulterated Chili powder is brick red, and the inferior Chili is ground into high-quality Chili noodles for sale, so this kind of defective product can be seen as sparse, and the adulterated pepper can smell a little or no spicy taste. 2. Taste: lick your tongue and touch your teeth, indicating that the Chili powder is mixed with crushed red brick crumbs. If it is found that Chili powder is light in color and yellow, it feels sticky when put in the mouth, but can be pasted when put in clear water, it is mixed with yellow particles such as corn flour. 3. Look: If through careful observation, it is found that there is too much yellow powder in Chili powder, and the nose smells of beans and tastes slightly sweet, that is, it is mixed with bean powder. 4. Hands-on: Put a little Chili powder in 25% salt water. If the water below is dyed red, it means adulteration. Or pour it on white paper and rub it with your hands. If it stays red, it means that it is mixed with pigment.
