Application
In the production of fried food such as fried dough sticks and twist flowers, ammonium alum reacts with baking soda to produce gas, which makes the dough expand, so that the food becomes crisp and fluffy, and the taste is better.
Curing agent helps to improve the solidification effect of some foods, such as in the processing of vermicelli and vermicelli, which can increase its toughness and cooking resistance.
It should be noted that excessive intake of ammonium alum may have adverse effects on health, such as affecting the body’s absorption of iron, calcium and other components, and damaging the nervous system.
Therefore, there are strict regulations and restrictions on the use of ammonium alum in food.
