In accordance with Article 54 of the "Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and Article 28 of the "Measures for the Hygienic Management of Food Additives", Article 2 of the "Measures for the Hygiene Management of Food Nutrition Enhancers" and Article 99 of the "Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" Article, China's food additives are defined as: artificial synthetic or natural substances added to food for the purpose of improving food quality and color, aroma and taste as well as for preservation, preservation and processing processes. Coarse grain usually refers to rice, wheat, corn, soybean and potato five crops other than the grain and bean crops. The main are: sorghum, millet, buckwheat (sweet buckwheat, buckwheat), oats (naked oats), barley, millet, barley millet, barley millet, grain amaranth and beans (kidney beans), mung beans, adzuki beans (adzuki beans, adzuki beans), broad beans, peas, cowpea, lentils (soldier beans), black beans and so on. It is characterized by short growing period, small planting area, special planting area, low yield, and generally contain rich nutrients. The ancient Chinese medicine book "Huangdi Neijing" records that "five grains are for raising, five fruits are for helping, five livestock are for benefiting, and five vegetables are for filling". Some trace elements, such as iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium, are more abundant in coarse grains than in refined grains. The value of these trace elements to human health is considerable. Coarse grains are also richer in potassium, calcium, vitamin E, folic acid and bioflavonoids than refined grains.

The food additive has the following three characteristics: First, it is a substance added to the food. Therefore, it is generally not used as a food alone; second, it includes both synthetic and natural substances; and third, it is added to the food. The purpose is to improve the food quality and color, aroma, taste and the need for preservation, preservation and processing.
Classification of food additives:
1. Antioxidants (eg BHA, BHT, PG, TBHQ)
2, bleach 3, coloring agent (also known as pigments, divided into edible synthetic pigments and edible natural pigments)
4, Color Retention Agent 5, Enzyme Preparation 6, Flavor Enhancer 7, Preservative (acid type preservative, ester type preservative, bio-type preservative)
8, ester preservatives In addition, there are saccharine, cyclamate, aspartame and so on.
The main role of food additives:
1. Preventing deterioration For example, preservatives can prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms and prolong the shelf life of foods; antioxidants can prevent or postpone the oxidative deterioration of foods to provide foods with stability and storage resistance, but also Prevents the formation of auto-oxidizing substances that may be harmful to fats and oils.
2, to improve the senses Appropriate use of colorants, color protectors, bleach, food flavorings, and emulsifiers, thickeners and other food additives, can significantly improve the sensory quality of food to meet people's different needs.
3. Maintaining Nutritionally Adding certain food nutrition fortifiers that are natural nutrients during food processing can greatly increase the nutritional value of foods. This is important for preventing malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies, promoting nutritional balance, and improving people's health. significance.
4, to facilitate the supply of increased variety and convenience, to people's lives and work to bring great convenience.
5, convenient processing in the food processing using defoamers, filter aids, stabilizers and coagulants, etc., can be conducive to food processing operations
Whole Grains are rich in nutrients. Oats, for example, are rich in protein; Millet is rich in tryptophan and carotene. Beans are high in quality protein; Sorghum is rich in fatty acids and iron; Tubers contain carotene and vitamin C. In addition, coarse grain still has the effect of reducing weight. Such as corn also contains a lot of magnesium, magnesium can strengthen intestinal wall peristalsis, promote the excretion of body waste, is very beneficial to weight loss.
