Application
It often used to make fried foods such as dough sticks to make the food fluffy.
It can improve the quality and taste of certain foods, such as increasing toughness in the production of vermicelli and noodles.
Food clarifiers are used to clarify some beverages and alcoholic beverages to help remove impurities and turbidity and make the liquid clear.
However, due to the aluminum content in alum, excessive intake may cause potential harm to health, so there are strict limits on the use of potassium alum in food.
