The history of edible gold is the first place in China. As far back as the Qin and Han dynasties, the Chinese rich had records of eating gold foil and gold powder. In modern times, eating gold foil is also popular in Japan and Southeast Asia.

In p>1983, the Codex Committee of Food Additives of the World Health Organization officially listed nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine's natural pure gold in the category of food additives as Table A No.311.

In China, precious Chinese patent medicines such as Niuhuang Angong Pill, Niuhuang Qingxin Pill, Wuji Baifeng Pill and Dahuoluo Dan are all made of gold foil.

The edible gold foil we introduced has a thickness of only one ten thousandth of a millimeter, which ordinary people have no idea about. As a metal, it is opaque, but the edible gold foil is thin enough to be transparent to light, so even if it is described as "as thin as a cicada's wing", it is actually much thinner than a cicada's wing, and it will break under the tension of water, so it is almost impossible to pick it up by hand.

Purpose Editor

Almost everyone knows about gold ornaments, but have you ever heard of gold food? As early as the Tang Dynasty, people in China had realized the health care and medical function of gold. Ming Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica recorded: "Eat gold, strengthen the spirit of the town, strengthen the bone marrow, dredge the evil spirits of the five internal organs, and serve the gods. In particular, gold foil is taken into pills to break the air conditioning and remove the wind. "

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the "gold-eating wind" has come back again. At present, gold foil is popular in Japan and Southeast Asia, and gold foil dinners, gold foil wine, gold foil water, gold foil candy and gold foil cakes have become high-end hot items in the market. In some big cities in China, "eating gold" is not only for health care, but also a status symbol. According to incomplete statistics, there are 31 domestic enterprises producing gold foil wine. Some experts have analyzed that due to people's increasing concern about health, "food money" is not only satisfied with the high-end consumer class, but is likely to spread to the "middle class" people. However, what standard should "eat gold" be based on?

In recent years, the number of corporate customers who came to the company to buy gold foil as a food raw material suddenly increased. However, since the company's products were mainly used for building decoration in the past, they have never been used as a food raw material, and they were very confused about whether they can be used as a food raw material sales enterprise. "Because gold is not good, it will kill people. Isn't there a saying in ancient times that' gold is swallowed'?" Later, the Gold Foil Factory found out by consulting the government supervision department and consulting the information that the Codex Committee on Food Additives of the World Health Organization officially listed gold in the category of food additives in 1983 [1]. In this case, the gold foil factory began to sell to food production enterprises.

Gold used as food for "import" is not ordinary gold bricks, gold bars and gold rings. Gold used as food raw materials must be processed gold foil. According to legend, Ge Hong, an alchemist in the Jin Dynasty, created the gold foil process, which makes pure gold undergo more than ten processes of fine processing, turning gold of different sizes into uniform gold foil as thin as cicada's wings, becoming a special traditional process of the Chinese nation, known as "a unique skill in China" in the world. This process can make a gold ring into a gold foil equivalent to the size of a basketball court. Later, the gold foil technology spread to Japan and overseas, becoming the world's gold jewelry processing technology and lasting for a long time. Gold foil is widely used in antique buildings, modern buildings, gold-lettered plaques, etc., such as gilding Buddha statues, gilding carved beams and painted buildings, and gilding for decoration. Because it is as thin as cicada wings, it is the best choice as a food raw material. But how much gold foil should be added to a ton of wine? How much gold foil can an adult eat at most a day? There is no way to talk about these standards, and it is urgent for relevant departments to make provisions through scientific research, because on the one hand, it is related to the health of the people, on the other hand, it is closely related to preventing profiteering and maintaining the normal market economic order.
