"Science" Meloel detects propylene glycol!Why "smelling incense and knowing milk" is not desirable

Because of the quality of pure milk produced, McWell was recently pushed to the cusp of public opinion. Picture source: On July 3, the results of the detection of Macquett's pure milk were released, and pure milk became "fragrant milk" a hammer. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued the "Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Market Supervision Administration on the Progress of the Progress of the Inspection of Polytol Pure Milk". During the production process, the company used food additive fragrance during the production process. Relying on "delicious", McWell tasted the sweetness brought by the "Internet celebrity effect". Now because of the "meol", Mc omine pure milk, known as the "pure milk ceiling", fell into the altar. So, what is propylene glycol? How harmful is propylene glycol? Can people still drink milk? What is the essence of "propylene glycol" propylene glycol is a kind of fat mixture containing cyano -alcohol. Because of its good phaseness with various liquids, it is partially added in cosmetics and daily necessities for moisturizing. In food, propylene glycol is also one of the additives approved by the country. It is mainly used for thickening, antibacterial, etc. According to the "National Food Additives Consumption Standard", the amount of propyol added to food is limited to 1.5g/kg. Have strict restrictions. The Food Additives of the International Food Code JECFA conducted a safety evaluation of it and believed that its daily appropriate intake ADI value was not more than 0-25 mg per kilogram of weight; for a person weighing 60 kg, it is equivalent to daily intake of not intake. More than 1.5, eating every day and eating every year will not have any problems. The FDA of the US Food and Drug Administration believes that when the intake of propylene glycol reaches or is close to the death volume (more than 6 grams per kilogram), it is found in some animal experiments that may cause kidney damage to animals. However, in view of the generally low intake of human beings, there is no evidence that propylene glycols can cause harm to humans. The safety of the FDA on propylene glycol is evaluated as GRAS, which is generally considered safety. Picture source: What is the hazard of cyber propylene glycol? Since "propylene glycol" can be applied to food adding, does that indicate that it is not toxic? According to national standards, propylene glycol is a "low toxic" substance, which is toxic, but the toxicity is not strong. If excessive intake, it will still cause a burden on the liver and kidney, thereby increasing the risk of disease. my country has strict supervision of the addition of propylene glycol in food. As long as the purchased food is inspected through formal channels, it is a qualified food. In fact, don't worry too much. The propylene glycol detected in Mc omine is 0.32 grams/kg. According to the rough estimation of toxicological data, a person weighed 60 kg of people drink 4.7 kg a day to "exceed the standard". Drink 1.25 kg. In short, although the "meterol" is toxic, it needs to be based on the dose conditions. It is consistent with a small amount of consumption, and there is no health risk. Can pure milk use propylene glycol is an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer. However, according to my country's standards, propylene glycol can be used in facial products, but cannot be used in dairy products. The picture comes from: GB2760 and its ester -propylene glycol fatty acid ester can be used for dairy products, but excluding sterilized milk (commonly said pure milk). Therefore, this Mequ Pure Milk is definitely illegal and belongs to the use of food additives. Such daily life items may contain "low poison" because of the characteristics of "low poison" of propylene glycol, and it is not important in the use of daily items, and it is not a bad thing. CCTV has pointed out that a daily product with a high level of propylene glycol needs to be alertly vigilant. Such as "wet towel". Liu Kun, a doctorate in the School of Chemical Engineering, said that propylene glycol is mainly used as a moisturizing agent and fragrance agent in wet towels. If a small dose, it is harmless to the body. However, if the amount of propylene glycol in the wet towel is too high, in the process of direct contact with the skin, toxic stimulation will still be produced, which will affect health, such as skin rash, itching, liver and kidney burden, and hidden dangers of respiratory diseases. Therefore, if the wet towel feels "slippery" or maintains a strong fragrance, it may be because of the large amount of propylene glycol, so try not to use it in daily life. This time, the "propylene glycol" incident in illegal regulations made netizens think of the once -poisoned "poisonous milk" incident, for fear that unqualified milk would have the same health hazards. In fact, propylene glycol is not as terrible as melamine. We maintain the degree of attention to the "propylene glycol" substance, and reasonably identify the risks of these two events in order to avoid panic.
