Problems solved by technology

However, the production process of caramel pigment is relatively complicated, the reaction conditions are difficult to control, and the physical removal method is relatively cumbersome, which leads to increased production costs and is difficult to popularize.
At present, the content of -methylimidazole in caramel pigment produced by traditional ammonia method and ammonium sulfite method almost exceeds the national standard (GB8817-2001 stipulates that the content of 4-methylimidazole in ammonium (ammonia) method caramel pigment cannot exceed 200ppm )

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for reducing 4-methylimidazole in caramel pigment, and belongs to the technical field of edible colorants. The caramel pigment is prepared from, by weight, 20%-60% ofwheat B-flour, 1%-8% of ammonium carbonate, 4%-7% of glycine, 0.1%-0.6% of a hydrochloric acid water solution, 10%-18% of sodium chloride, 8%-10% of sodium hydroxide and 30%-40% of deionized water. Forming of 4-methylimidazole in a reaction system is controlled with the method of adding glycine. By optimizing the production technology, a caramel pigment product with the low 4-methylimidazole content, the high color rate and the high quality is obtained; process operation is easy, production efficiency is high, and the method is economical and practical and suitable for popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of edible colorants, in particular to a method for reducing tetramethylimidazole in caramel pigment. Background technique [0002] Caramel pigment, also known as caramel color, occupies an important position in the food coloring market and is widely used in condiment, food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. It is currently the most widely used food additive in the food industry. Caramel coloring is a natural coloring made of high-quality sucrose, glucose or other starch sugars as the main raw materials and processed by special formula and technology. It has the characteristics of good water solubility, strong coloring power, stable properties, safety and non-toxicity, etc. It is currently the largest amount of food coloring, the most widely used, and the most countries use it as a food coloring agent. [0003] In the 1960s, caramel coloring was banned by some countries because it contained 4-me...
