Solving the safety problem of food additives – potassium cinnamate
Sodium dehydroacetate has a certain degree of toxicity. Its metabolic process in the body is relatively complex, and long-term or excessive intake may have adverse effects on the body’s metabolism. For example, it may interfere with the body’s normal physiological and biochemical processes and affect the body’s acid-base balance.
Potassium cinnamate is considered a relatively safe additive. It is a potassium salt extracted from cinnamic acid, which is an organic acid naturally present in plants. After being ingested by the human body, potassium cinnamate has a relatively simple metabolic pathway in the body, and most of it will be excreted from the body through normal physiological metabolic processes, with less potential harm to the human body.
Meet legal regulations and market demands
In some countries and regions, the regulations on the use of food additives are becoming more and more stringent. The scope and limit of use of sodium dehydroacetate may be subject to stricter supervision. Potassium cinnamate is more likely to be licensed or used more widely in some new regulatory environments due to its relatively good safety and other characteristics.
Consumers are paying more and more attention to the naturalness and safety of food additives. Potassium cinnamate is relatively more in line with consumers’ expectations for “natural” additives because it is related to natural cinnamic acid. This change in market demand has prompted food processing companies to consider using potassium cinnamate to replace some traditional additives that consumers may have concerns about.
