What has replaced parabens and is this replacement harmful or not as well-studied as parabens? Are they as effective at preventing microbial growth and extending the shelf life of products?

In recent years, many companies have moved away from using parabens in their products and have turned to alternative preservatives. Some common alternatives to parabens include phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and ethylhexylglycerin, among others.

Like parabens, these alternative preservatives are intended to prevent microbial growth and extend the shelf life of cosmetics and personal care products. However, like all chemicals, they have the potential to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, and there may be some concern about their safety over the long term.

Phenoxyethanol, for example, has been the subject of some controversy due to concerns about its potential toxicity and its potential to cause skin irritation. Similarly, benzyl alcohol has been associated with allergic reactions in some people.

At present, there is not enough research to determine the long-term safety of these alternative preservatives. However, regulatory agencies such as the US FDA and the European Union's SCCS have evaluated these ingredients and deemed them safe for use at the concentrations typically used in cosmetics and personal care products.

Ultimately, the choice of preservative is up to individual companies and consumers, who may choose to avoid certain ingredients for personal or environmental reasons. However, it is important to note that preservatives are a necessary component of many cosmetic and personal care products, as they help to prevent microbial growth and ensure product safety and efficacy.

i get a lot of my treats from grocery outlet because, you know, i go through a lot of treats and so the bulk of my low/med value ones may as well be cheap. and this last time they had Dog Whisperer TM branded treats at $3 for 12 oz which is a killer fucking deal so i got 2 bags.

anyway.

so one, they have the most deranged fucking instructions on send to place i have ever seen, which i'll upload in a reblog but TWO

the ingredients on these things.

i would be better off feeding my dog pieces of bread.

Wheat Flour, Soybean Meal, Ground Corn, Sugar, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Beef, Natural and Artificial Chicken Flavor, Soybean Oil, Wheat Gluten, Salt, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Phosphoric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative) and Propionic Acid (Preservative).

and listen. i'm not a grain free person. i have no problems with grain in treats, or even treats which are as much grain as anything else. but the first FOUR INGREDIENTS are non-meat, and that's assuming that the glycerin is bovine or porcine (reasonable assumption, these are dog treats).

hazard will eat them but he had to think about it first, which he never does.

Common food preservative has unexpected effects on the gut microbiome

"Food manufacturers often add preservatives to food products to keep them fresh. The purpose of these preservatives is to kill microbes that could break down and otherwise spoil the food. Common additives like sugar, salt, vinegar and alcohol have been used as preservatives for centuries, but modern-day food labels now reveal more unfamiliar ingredients such as sodium benzoate, calcium propionate, and potassium sorbate.

Bacteria produce chemicals called bacteriocins to kill microbial competitors. These chemicals can serve as natural preservatives by killing potentially dangerous pathogens in food. Lanthipeptides, a class of bacteriocins with especially potent antimicrobial properties, are widely used by the food industry and have become known as "lantibiotics" (a scientific portmanteau of lanthipeptide and antibiotics).

Despite their widespread use, however, little is known about how these lantibiotics affect the gut microbiomes of people who consume them in food. Microbes in the gut live in a delicate balance, and commensal bacteria provide important benefits to the body by breaking down nutrients, producing metabolites, and—importantly—protecting against pathogens. If too many commensals are indiscriminately killed off by antimicrobial food preservatives, opportunistic pathogenic bacteria might take their place and wreak havoc—a result no better than eating contaminated food in the first place.

A new study published in ACS Chemical Biology by scientists from the University of Chicago found that one of the most common classes of lantibiotics has potent effects both against pathogens and against the commensal gut bacteria that keep us healthy."

Mycotoxin Control: The Role of Mould Inhibitors in Feed Safety

Worldwide, mycotoxins represent a serious risk to the health of cattle and the safety of food. These harmful substances, which are made by certain fungi, have the potential to contaminate animal feed, cause a range of health problems in animals, and eventually compromise the safety and quality of food items. Mould inhibitors are essential for controlling mycotoxin contamination, which is something that farmers and feed makers need to do.

Knowledge of Mycotoxins and Their Effects Secondary metabolites known as mycotoxins are made by a variety of fungal species, mainly those in the Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium genera. Both before and after harvest, these harmful substances can grow in crops, especially in environments with ideal humidity and temperature levels.

Mycotoxins in animal feed can cause a variety of health issues in animals, such as:

less feed consumption and increased weight

weakened immunity

Reproductive problems

organ injury

heightened vulnerability to illnesses

Furthermore, mycotoxins have the ability to build up in animal products such as meat, eggs, and milk, which could be harmful to human health. In addition to endangering food safety, this buildup causes farmers and the agriculture sector as a whole to suffer large financial losses.

Mold Inhibitors' Function in Mycotoxin Management Mold inhibitors are vital weapons in the war against the contamination of mycotoxin. These compounds function by stopping or delaying the growth of fungi in animal feed, which lowers the possibility that mycotoxin synthesis may occur. The efficient application of mold inhibitors can make a major contribution to keeping cattle healthy and feed quality intact.

Using mold inhibitors has several advantages, including:

Increased animal feed shelf life and nutritional value preservation

Decrease in the production of mycotoxin

Increased palatability of the feed

Increased feed effectiveness

Mould Inhibitors: Types There are various kinds of mold inhibitors that can be used in animal feed, including:

 -Organic acids: To stop the growth of fungi, propionic acid, formic acid, and their salts are frequently utilized. - Antioxidants: Substances that assist in stopping oxidation and the growth of mold include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). - Sorbates: Mold and yeast development are efficiently inhibited by potassium sorbate and other sorbate compounds. - Essential oils: Plant-based natural substances with antibacterial qualities include thymol and carvacrol.

Feed Management: Using Mould Inhibitors In order to optimize the efficacy of mold inhibitors, farmers and feed makers had to contemplate the subsequent measures:

- Appropriate storage: To reduce moisture buildup, keep feed ingredients and completed feed in clean, dry environments with sufficient ventilation. - Frequent monitoring: Establish a thorough program of observation to evaluate feed quality and identify possible mold growth early. - Application on time: To stop the first stages of fungal growth, apply mold inhibitors as soon as you can after harvest or during feed processing. -  Appropriate dosage: To guarantee maximum efficacy without sacrificing feed safety, adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for dosage.

An integrated strategy Utilize resistant crop varieties and appropriate crop rotation in conjunction with other mycotoxin management techniques, such as the use of mold inhibitors.  

Challenges: Although mold inhibitors are useful instruments for controlling mycotoxin, using them presents some difficulties: Regulatory compliance: Farmers are required to make sure that selected mold inhibitors are authorized for usage and to follow local laws governing the use of feed additives.

Regarding costs: The possible financial consequences of mycotoxin contamination should be evaluated against the added cost of mould inhibitors. Resistance development: Using the same mold inhibitors over time may cause fungal strains to become resistant, which calls for switching out the inhibitors. Impact on the environment: There is a need for more environmentally friendly substitutes because certain synthetic mold inhibitors may have negative effects on the environment. In summary Mold inhibitors are essential for feed safety and mycotoxin management. Farmers can guarantee the safety and quality of food products, safeguard livestock health, and drastically lower the risk of mycotoxin contamination by implementing these materials into feed management procedures. New and improved mold inhibitors may be developed as this field of study progresses, which would improve the ability to address mycotoxin-related issues in food production and agriculture.

Tomorrow is the first day of pumpkin spice latte season. I’m talking about that flavor as if I drink pumpkin spice latte coffee drinks but the fact of the matter is that I can probably count on my hands how many more times in my life I might drink it. Not only am I having difficulty with caffeine but these days, I eat and drink foods with chemicals and high sugar content far less than I used to. Here are the ingredients of Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes that I’m trying to stay away from…

SUGAR (50g)

POTASSIUM SORBATE (preservative)

MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES (emulsifier)

CARAGEENAN (thickener)

I’ve been wanting to break down the ingredients of the pumpkin spice latte for a while now but, oddly enough, all this post did was make me want to drink one. 😆

But yeah - I kind of have an affinity for foods and drink that are popular in American culture (donuts, pizza, wine, sugary coffee drinks) but I can’t partake because of my diet and it sometimes makes me feel like an outsider.

The client I had yesterday was shocked that I don’t drink, for instance. This idiot actually told me that I should drink (although, I think he couldn’t come up with a sound reason why. In fact, when he told me that, I was tempted to tell him that his liver was probably fucked up). Anyway, he was probably just projecting.

The point of this post wasn’t even to talk about pumpkin spice latte, really. But the changing of the seasons and the flavor of that drink was on my mind. I can’t believe it’s the first day of September already!

Potassium Sorbate Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

 Potassium Sorbate Prices is a widely used preservative in the food and beverage industry, and its prices have been a topic of interest for manufacturers and suppliers globally. The price trends of potassium sorbate are influenced by various factors such as raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, and fluctuating demand across different regions. In recent years, the market for potassium sorbate has seen significant volatility due to shifts in global production capacity, environmental regulations, and changes in consumer preferences. These elements have combined to make potassium sorbate pricing an area of strategic importance for companies seeking to manage costs while maintaining product quality.

Raw material availability is a key determinant of potassium sorbate prices. As a chemical compound, potassium sorbate is derived from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide, both of which have their own supply chains. The prices of these raw materials can vary due to geopolitical issues, such as trade tensions between major producers or disruptions caused by natural disasters. For instance, in regions where the production of sorbic acid is concentrated, any halt in manufacturing can lead to a shortage, which consequently drives up the price of potassium sorbate. Furthermore, fluctuations in the prices of potassium hydroxide, a critical input, also contribute to price instability.

Another factor affecting potassium sorbate prices is the regulatory environment. Countries with stricter environmental and health regulations may see higher production costs due to the need for cleaner, more efficient manufacturing processes. In some regions, producers are required to implement costly measures to reduce emissions and waste, which adds to the overall cost of production. These regulatory expenses are often passed on to buyers, influencing the market price. For example, China, one of the largest producers of potassium sorbate, has implemented more rigorous environmental regulations in recent years, which has had a significant impact on production costs and, subsequently, global pricing.

Demand fluctuations also contribute to the changing prices of potassium sorbate. The food and beverage industry, which is the largest consumer of this preservative, is highly sensitive to consumer trends and dietary preferences. With the growing demand for natural and organic food products, some companies are opting to reduce or eliminate the use of synthetic preservatives like potassium sorbate in favor of more natural alternatives. This shift in demand has led to periods of reduced consumption, which can influence prices downward. However, the ongoing need for shelf-stable products in the global food supply chain ensures that potassium sorbate remains in demand, especially in regions where food security and preservation are critical.

The pharmaceutical and personal care industries also contribute to the demand for potassium sorbate, as it is used to preserve the shelf life of medications, cosmetics, and skincare products. As these industries expand globally, particularly in emerging markets, the demand for preservatives like potassium sorbate continues to grow. This increased demand can create upward pressure on prices, especially when supply is limited or raw material costs rise. However, competition from alternative preservatives and advancements in preservation technology can also impact pricing trends, as manufacturers explore new ways to extend product shelf life without relying heavily on traditional preservatives.

Currency exchange rates and global economic conditions are additional factors influencing potassium sorbate prices. Since potassium sorbate is traded internationally, fluctuations in currency values can affect the cost for buyers in different regions. For example, a stronger U.S. dollar could make potassium sorbate more expensive for buyers in countries with weaker currencies. Similarly, inflationary pressures and changes in interest rates can affect production and shipping costs, which in turn influence the final price of potassium sorbate in the market.

Sustainability trends are also shaping the potassium sorbate market. As more consumers and companies prioritize environmentally friendly practices, there is growing interest in sustainable production methods for preservatives. This trend has led to innovations in the manufacturing of potassium sorbate, with some companies investing in greener technologies and production methods that reduce environmental impact. While these sustainable practices can initially increase production costs, they may lead to long-term savings and stabilize prices as efficiency improves and consumer demand for eco-friendly products rises.

In conclusion, potassium sorbate prices are influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including raw material availability, regulatory changes, supply chain dynamics, demand fluctuations, and global economic conditions. As the market continues to evolve, companies that rely on potassium sorbate must stay attuned to these factors in order to manage costs effectively and ensure a steady supply of this essential preservative. Additionally, the growing emphasis on sustainability and cleaner production methods will likely play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of potassium sorbate pricing. By understanding these trends and adapting to changing market conditions, businesses can better navigate the challenges of potassium sorbate procurement and remain competitive in the global marketplace.

Application of spray dryer in food additive production

 Food additives play a vital role in the modern food industry. They are used to improve the color, aroma and taste of food, extend the shelf life, enhance the nutritional value, etc. In the production process of food additives, drying technology is a key link. Spray dryers have become important equipment in the production of food additives due to their high efficiency, uniformity and rapid drying characteristics. This article will discuss in detail the application, working principle, advantages and selection guide of spray dryers in the production of food additives.1. Overview of Food Additives

Food additives refer to chemically synthesized or natural substances added to food to improve food quality and color, aroma, and taste, or for preservation and processing needs. Common food additives include sweeteners, acidulants, pigments, preservatives, antioxidants, thickeners, etc. The quality of food additives directly affects food safety and consumer health, so every link in the production process must be strictly controlled, especially the drying process.

2. Working principle of spray dryer

The working principle of spray dryer is as follows:

Material pretreatment: Liquid materials are pretreated by filtering, homogenizing and other pretreatment steps to ensure the purity and uniformity of the materials.

Atomization: The pretreated materials are sent to the atomizer through a high-pressure pump, and the atomizer disperses the liquid materials into tiny droplets. Common types of atomizers are centrifugal, pressure and airflow atomizers.

Drying: The atomized droplets are in contact with hot air in the drying tower, and the hot air is usually heated to an appropriate temperature by an air heater. The droplets quickly evaporate water under the action of hot air to form dry powder.

Collection: The mixture of dried powder and air is separated by a cyclone separator, the powder is collected in the collector, and the exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust system.

3. Application of spray dryer in food additive production

Sweetener production: Spray drying technology is widely used in the production of sweeteners, such as maltitol, sorbitol, etc. Through spray drying, sweeteners can be made into uniform powders, which are easy to store and transport while maintaining their sweetness and stability.

Acidulant production: Food acidulants such as citric acid and malic acid are usually dried by spray drying technology. Spray drying can quickly evaporate water, prevent acidulants from decomposing at high temperatures, and ensure product quality.

Pigment production: Natural pigments such as carotene and capsanthin are made into powders by spray drying technology, which can maintain the brightness and stability of the pigments and are widely used in food processing.

Preservative production: Common food preservatives such as potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate can be made into uniform powders by spray drying technology, which is convenient for uniform addition during food processing and improves the preservative effect.

4. Advantages of spray dryer

High efficiency and energy saving:

Spray dryer has fast drying speed and can complete the drying process within a few seconds, significantly improving production efficiency and saving energy consumption. High product quality: Spray drying can produce uniform, fluid and soluble powder products to ensure the quality and performance of food additives. Wide application range: Spray drying technology is suitable for various heat-sensitive materials and food additives that need to maintain their original characteristics, such as vitamins, enzyme preparations, etc. Environmental protection and hygiene: The spray dryer adopts a closed system to avoid contact between materials and the external environment, reduce the risk of pollution, and meet the hygiene requirements of food production.

5. How to choose a suitable spray dryer

Understand the material characteristics: When choosing a spray dryer, you need to fully understand the physical and chemical properties of the material to be dried, such as viscosity, solid content, thermal sensitivity, etc., in order to choose the appropriate atomizer and drying parameters.

Determine the production scale: Choose the appropriate spray dryer model and specifications according to production needs. Small laboratory spray dryers are suitable for research and testing, and large spray dryers are suitable for industrial production.

Consider the material of the equipment: Spray dryers of different materials are suitable for different materials and applications, such as stainless steel for the food and pharmaceutical industries, and corrosion-resistant materials for the chemical industry.

Evaluate equipment performance: Choose equipment with efficient atomization and uniform drying performance, while considering the energy consumption, maintenance cost and ease of operation of the equipment.

I've been doing a lifestyle change and ive been cooking all my food at home ans trying to minimize eating processed food if I can help it. My question is, I want to eat pasta so bad but I know pasta is like horrible for you. Is there any way I will ever be able to eat pasta again 😭 I see so many pasta recipes and I feel so jealous

What makes you think that pasta is horrible for you? It's usually just flour, salt, egg, and water, so unless you have celiac disease or are allergic to eggs, it should be totally fine. In fact, whole grain pasta is part of the blue zone diet, which is generally considered to be the best way you can eat for optimal long-term health and well-being (at least as of right now in July 2024). You can even make pasta at home- there are a bunch of pasta makers on Amazon that you can buy for under $30 USD.

As far as processed food goes, I think it's kind of a poorly defined topic in nutrition right now. Virtually all foods that we eat are "processed" in some way, even if you're buying them directly from a farmer. Selective breeding of certain foods, the way that we've been doing since the beginning of agriculture, is technically a "process". Things like cutting, washing, heating, pasteurizing, canning, cooking, packaging, etc. are also "processes". And everything you buy in a grocery store requires some amount of preservation in order for it to stay edible from the farms or factories to the store and to remain edible until someone buys it.

When people talk about minimizing processed foods, what they're typically referring to is ultra-processed foods- things that are the result of intensive manufacturing processes. The hallmarks of these kind of foods are that they're ready to eat off the shelf and contain preservatives, dyes, colors, added flavors, non-sugar sweeteners, and other human-created ingredients.

However, it's unclear what part of these ultra-processed foods are actually bad for us. Is is that they're engineered to have an optimal mouth feel, so we eat more than we need to? Is it that when we eat ultra-processed foods, we're missing out on fiber and nutrients that we would normally get from our food, and thus have a less nutritionally complete diet? Is it that ultra-processed foods are easier for our bodies to digest, so we're not burning as many calories through digestion as we would otherwise, leading to weight gain over time? Is it that there's some chemical or manufacturing process that's unhealthy on its own? We actually don't know yet. In all likelihood, it's some combination of the above, but we're still in the beginning stages of understanding all of this.

So all that said, generally speaking, it seems that the most important thing is to have a diet that's calorically appropriate for your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), and that's nutritionally complete, especially when it comes to fiber intake. Secondarily, a diet where your calories are 50-60% from carbohydrates, 15-20% from protein, and 30% from fats, with at most 8% of your calories from saturated fats and at most 10% from sugar, is the next most important. After that, avoiding ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame or acesulfame-K), preservatives (like benzoic acid, calcium sorbate, ertyhorbic acid, potassium nitrate, sodium benzoate, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and ascorbyl palmitate) may be a good idea, although again, the jury is still out on whether or not those ingredients are actually causing any negative effects on their own.

The other thing I want to mention here is that there are other factors that impact health way more than ultra-processed foods do. Smoking causes about 20% of all cancers, 4–8% of all cancers are attributed to obesity (regardless of diet) and can raise your risk for 13 different types of cancer, and nearly 4% of cancers can be attributed to alcohol consumption. Around 20% of people in the US will get skin cancer in their lifetime, which can be prevented by daily sunscreen use. Physical inactivity is also one of the leading risk factors for illness in general- people who are insufficiently active (less than 150 minutes a week) have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death from all causes compared to people who do exercise. My point here isn't to scare you or anything, but rather just to say that if you're interested in improving your health overall, those items will make a way bigger difference than cutting pasta out of your diet will.
