China is the first place to eat gold in history. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, the rich in China had records of eating gold foil and powder. In modern times, eating gold foil is also very popular in Japan and Southeast Asia.
1983, the Codex Committee of Food Additives of the World Health Organization officially listed 9999 natural pure gold in the category of food additives and named it Tabeano. 3 10.
In China, Niuhuang Angong Pill, Niuhuang Qingxin Pill, Wuji Baifeng Pill, Dahuoluo Dan and other precious Chinese patent medicines are all made of gold foil.
The edible gold foil we introduced is only one tenth of a millimeter thick, which has no concept for ordinary people. As a metal, it is opaque, but the edible gold foil is so thin that it is 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, making it almost impossible to hold it by hand.
Objective to edit
Almost everyone knows about gold ornaments, but have you ever heard of gold food? As early as the Tang Dynasty, our people had realized the health care and medical function of gold. Li Ming's Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Eat gold, strengthen the source of qi, strengthen the bone marrow, dredge the evil spirits of the five internal organs, and worship the gods. In particular, gold foil is used as medicine to break the cold air and remove the wind. "
In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the "wind of eating gold" has risen again. At present, gold foil is very popular in Japan and Southeast Asia. Gold foil dinner, gold foil wine, gold foil water, gold foil candy and gold foil cake 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 3 1 enterprises producing gold foil wine in China. Some experts have analyzed that as people pay more and more attention to health, "vegetable money" is not only satisfied with the high-end consumer class, but is likely to spread to the "middle class" crowd. However, what criteria should "eat gold" be based on?
In recent years, the number of corporate customers who come to the company to buy gold foil as food raw materials has suddenly increased. However, because the company's products were mainly used for building decoration in the past, they have never been used as food raw materials. Whether it can be used as a food raw material sales enterprise was once very confused. "Because gold is not good, it will eat people to death. Isn't there an old saying called' swallow gold and die'? " Later, the gold foil factory found that gold was officially listed as a food additive by the Codex Committee of Food Additives of the World Health Organization at 1983 [1]. In this case, the gold foil factory began to sell to food production enterprises.
As an "imported" food, gold is not an ordinary brick, gold bar or gold ring. 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 made 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 unique traditional process of the Chinese nation and being praised as "a must in China" in the world. This process can make a gold ring into a gold foil the size of a basketball court. Later, 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 plaques and so on. For example, gilding the Buddha statue, gilding the carved beam, and gilding it 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 I add 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.
