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.

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.
