One is for the sake of beauty, the other is the formation of a protective film, retaining the moisture, extending the storage time, to achieve the purpose of preservation. 1Q: Are waxing fruits harmful to health? 1A: According to China's "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives," the food must be given a "wax coat," and the prescribed additives must be used. There is also a limit to the dosage. This kind of additive is food wax. Its composition is animal glue or vegetable glue. It is non-toxic and does not penetrate into the flesh. It is harmless to the human body. 1Q: How to eat waxed fruit? 1A: Peel and eat. Since the wax is not water-soluble, it cannot be washed by ordinary washing methods. Although a reasonably waxed peel is eatable, it is best to peel off the peel for safety reasons. Some preservatives are now used before waxing. If the dose is not controlled properly, it is equal to a layer of “toxic clothing†on the fruit, so the peel does not eat well. Do not use fresh orange peel tea. 1 Illegal waxing harm 1, although the fruit waxing is a permissible method of preservation, but the choice of wax is very particular about. If industrial waxes are used, they are harmful to the human body. Industrial waxes often contain heavy metals that can have an adverse effect on the human body. If it penetrates into the flesh, the effect is even more severe. 2. Some unscrupulous traders are now soaking the low-quality fruit bought with detergent, then waxing and coloring themselves, and finally affixing labels. After "makeup", the fruit has become shiny and shiny, and her worth has increased a lot. Industry experts said that although cleaning and waxing of normal fruits with cleaning agents do not affect food consumption, this cleaning and waxing process should be carried out in the sorting and packaging process at the place of production, and there are also certain standards for hygiene requirements. This waxing process should not occur during the marketing process. It is not allowed for businesses to use mildewed fruit for processing. These fruits are unfit for human consumption even after they are washed clean. 1 There is a trick to picking fruit 1. When consumers purchase fruits, they should mainly choose from the odors and colors of the fruit. Smell the scent and see if the fruit has a unique aroma of the species. If the scent is not good, the fruit may be spoiled or the process is problematic. If the fruit is waxed too thick, the gloss will be particularly good and the hand will be different. The second is to buy less off-season fruits, which often use waxing methods during the preservation process. 2. Although there are some basic methods for picking fruits, there are doubts as to whether the fruit is really safe and secure. For example, which kind of wax is used for fruit is generally only detected in the laboratory. Even if consumers can see whether the fruit is waxed, it is still impossible to tell if the wax used is qualified. Therefore, consumers should buy fruits from the formal channels, and try not to patronize roadside unlicensed stalls, especially those that are too bright. Be careful when buying.
