Add ferric ammonium citrate to table salt
Salt is one of the seasonings we often use. With the development of the times, there are more and more kinds of edible salt, and the ingredients are constantly improving. If you look at the latest edible salt ingredients, you will see that there is an additive such as ammonium ferric citrate, while some salts do not have this ingredient, and some may be potassium ferrocyanide. What is the difference between these ingredients?

Potassium ferrocyanide is an early salt additive, which is mainly used to prevent the caking of edible salt, but it will produce a small amount of harmful substances under high temperature (more than three or four Baidu), so it is gradually eliminated. Now the latest edible salt anti caking additive is ammonium ferric citrate, which can not only prevent the caking of salt, but also promote the supplement of iron and blood.
Ferric ammonium citrate, also known as ferric ammonium citrate, is a compound salt of iron, ammonia and citric acid. It is generally used as a blood tonic. It can be used to prepare blood tonic solution or syrup. It can also be used for Mr rapid imaging of upper abdomen and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatic duct imaging.
1. Adding ferric ammonium citrate to table salt as an anti caking agent is a new production technology introduced by China's salt industry in recent years based on the experience of Japan, South Korea and other developed countries. Replacing the original potassium ferrocyanide with ammonium ferric citrate will be safer and more assured from the perspective of maintaining food safety. This new type of anti caking agent is mainly used in a series of green food edible salt developed by the salt industry. At present, the market share of edible salt produced with this anti caking agent has reached more than 90% in some provinces and cities.
2. The food additive ammonium ferric citrate has been specified in the Announcement No. 23 of the former Ministry of health in 2010 that it can be used in salt and salt substitute products, and its function is anti caking agent.
