2. The full name of Monoglyceride (MG) is monoglyceride (or monoglyceride), which is insoluble in water and glycerol, but can form a stable hydrated dispersion in water.
3. In addition, monoglyceride is a polyol nonionic surfactant. Because it has an oleophilic long-chain alkyl group and two hydrophilic hydroxyl groups in its structure, it has good surface activity, can emulsify, foam, disperse, defoam and resist starch aging, and is the most widely used emulsifier in food and cosmetics.
Extended data:
Additives include feed additives, food additives, concrete additives, engine oil additives and other chemical additives.
At present, the international regulations can be divided into two systems, one is the "permission list" which lists the permitted additives exhaustively, and the other is the "prohibition list" which lists the prohibited additives. After years of practice, the "forbidden list" was found to have a big defect: lack of binding force on new substances.
When a new substance appears, because it is not in the existing "banned list", it can be used in food packaging materials at will, and the laws and regulations cannot be managed. Therefore, Japan and South Korea, which originally formulated the "banned list", have turned to the "permitted list" system, while Europe, America and China have adopted the "permitted list" system. 2003 edition <: Hygienic standard for the use of additives for food containers and packaging materials >: * * * There are 65 kinds of added doses in the licensed list.
