Prospect of glutinous rice paper

Packaging food with sticky rice paper, especially the inner packaging of food, is the most hygienic requirement. However, the strength of glutinous rice paper is very limited, and it is not resistant to damp and heat, so it can not be widely used to package various foods.

If soybean protein and edible cellulose are used to improve the physical and chemical properties of glutinous rice paper, enhance its strength, moisture resistance and heat resistance, and make it quite elastic, flexible and foldable, it will form a new type of environmentally friendly edible packaging paper with wide applications, cleanliness and hygiene.

Some people spin soybean protein into cloth, and it is not a problem to use it as edible wrapping paper. Facing the present and future market, soybean glutinous rice paper has a good development prospect.

Matters needing attention

The main component of glutinous rice paper is starch, and the main nutrient component is carbohydrate. Excessive carbohydrate intake will lead to a sharp increase in blood sugar and insulin, which in turn will lead to obesity, even diabetes and heart disease.
