Chunliang brewing, vinegar …… although white vinegar condiments just a small class, but it is the essential thing every household kitchen, Express reporter current cost to select a particular topic on the market the more common white vinegar each paragraph 7 In contrast, only to find that, although some products labeled pure grain or vinegar, but did not actually use the traditional fermentation process, but the use of alcohol and wine consumption after biocatalysis blending together, there is a local senior food Engineer Chen Ping (a pseudonym) told reporters frankly, the name of the current market a wide variety of white vinegar, indeed suspected of misleading consumers.
● price ratio
With relatively low consumption of alcohol pricing
Reporter selected include Handsome, Pearl River Bridge, Water Tower and many other well-known companies produced vinegar condiment products found more in the pricing of these products between 4-7 million, of which hundreds of higher prices of fresh rice every Chunliang 100ml price of 1.7 yuan, Cheung Hong lower prices per 100 grams of white vinegar 500ml price of 0.9 yuan, the price is only half of the high-priced products.
Closer look at the list of ingredients is not difficult to find a higher priced product does not contain the ingredients of alcohol consumption in the 7 yuan / bottle around. Lower pricing more ingredients list of ingredients, but many contain alcohol consumption, pricing in about 5 yuan / bottle around.
● mass ratio
1 A grain brewing longer than the time-consuming alcohol blending
Why is the price of white vinegar with a relatively low consumption of alcohol? Chen Ping told reporters that this is due to the consumption of alcohol use white vinegar products blending process is relatively simple, and time is relatively short, naturally the cost is relatively low.
Pearl River Bridge pure vinegar for example, the list of ingredients ingredients were Water, consumption of alcohol, rice, white sugar, while comparing Handsome white vinegar, the product's ingredient list as water, rice, white sugar, to the consumption of alcohol, wine blending of white vinegar product is a product of modern food technology, in the factories, consumption of alcohol and wine through a column with microbial catalysis, after it is white vinegar, this process quickly, just start the machine, it is the product of white vinegar bottles, Chen Ping briefed reporters.
On the contrary, the traditional grain fermentation time of water, rice, etc. to be longer, the process is relatively complex, and because the longer the fermentation process, the food is also prone to mildew, bacteria infection, the total number of bacteria and other quality issues of non-compliance costs led to a corresponding increase in production, said Chen Ping, with grain brewing vinegar, deep color, made from distilled white vinegar or bleaching needed, this process will cost more, it is generally eaten with vinegar will ethanol blending.
2 Msg and saccharin were added to adjust the taste of vinegar
Protection of trade secrets in the rapid expansion of the industry is often not taken seriously enough, and if the industry threshold is not high enough, after leaving to become key employees of competitors can be expected, the loss of information security staff that caused the need for attention.
Microblogging leaks continue to unfold, I believe that the intention of these persons and interests do not want the damaged tissue, but security awareness is not enough, do not grasp the correct scale Bale.
Reporter By comparison, the current white vinegar products in addition to water, rice, but also adds sugar, salt, and even food additive sodium benzoate, sodium glutamate, sucralose, etc., which contain food additives towers most refined white vinegar , there are three.
For food additives, CHEN introduced preservative is sodium benzoate, vinegar total acid concentration is too low, which may result in continued fermentation microorganisms, nutrients will eat vinegar, fermented into water and carbon dioxide, sodium benzoate and therefore as a preservative. In addition, the need for the seasoning, vinegar will also add sodium glutamate (commonly known as MSG) and sucralose, sucralose (both of which are saccharine) to taste, vinegar to solve the problem of bad after taste.
3 The ingredient of chunliang vinegar actually no list of grain
Even though the use of consumption of alcohol, vinegar fermentation, on human health is not the impact, but also recognized this national standard manufacturing process, according to the vinegar (GB18187-2000) definition of vinegar is: individually or contains a mix of various starches, sugars materials or alcohol, brewed by microbial fermentation liquid seasoning, but pure grain fermentation, vinegar is not clearly defined.
Reporters found that in contrast to the eight samples, the purple forest Chunliang vinegar ingredient list of ingredients followed by drinking, consumption of alcohol, salt, food additives, none of the food ingredients, said Chen Ping, from the list of ingredients on Look, this product does not use the traditional white vinegar fermentation process, is the use of modern technology, the consumption of alcohol through microbial fermentation, with Chunliang marked clearly misleading consumers ingredients. In addition, local familiar Guangzhou Pearl River Bridge brand name white vinegar is also labeled as pure vinegar Pearl River Bridge, the list of ingredients as water, consumption of alcohol, rice, white sugar, it should be noted that when consumers buy pure is not representative of Chunliang.
Of more concern is that some white vinegar products, though not used Chunliang mark, but with the vinegar to name, and this class of products is only part of wine ingredients, This approach is also easy for consumers to misleading Because vinegar general sense are water and fermented rice, rice wine fermented with the consumption of alcohol is not understood in the traditional sense of vinegar, Mr Chan said.
In fact, this phenomenon of GB and ill-defined relationship, in addition to vinegar industry in this case walking a fine line, but also has appeared in other industries, such progress that we should be more defined with reference to foreign, Chen Ping, for example to German beer, for example, the country's only national standard on the provisions of barley, hops, yeast ingredients, add a little something else can not be called beer, and then to Japan, soy sauce, for example, the standard specifies the sauce is particularly fermented soybeans, plus other things that can only be the blending sauces, in this strict definition, in order to put an end to the phenomenon of walking a fine line.
