　　Complex phosphates can catalyze and enhance the water retention properties of ingredients, and this water retention performance is exactly what many dried seafood products need, such as sea cucumbers and shark fins, so some unscrupulous businesses use complex phosphates in large quantities. Among the products of this category, taking sea cucumber as an example, after a large amount of compound phosphate is used for foaming, its weight is three to four times that of normal foaming. How can it be profitable. Although the pale yellow crystal of compound phosphate is a food additive, excessive dosage will cause harm to the body, and this is precisely what these merchants destroy their conscience, and it is also the practice of this small group of people. The notoriety of complex phosphates in the eyes of the public. For complex phosphates, there should actually be a correct way to open it.

This is only in the home-style brine that only uses star anise, cinnamon and soy sauce. If it is matched with appropriate spices, this advantage will be greatly improved. will become more obvious. For example, when preparing spices, with a small amount of nutmeg, the glutinous mouth of pork knuckle soaked in complex phosphate is significantly improved. In the use of tangerine peel, pepper, pepper, Amomum, fragrant leaves, and Shannai to enhance the meat flavor, the soaked pork knuckle also has a lot of gain. Not only pork, but also some tender meat ingredients, such as chicken and pigeon, can be soaked in complex phosphate to improve the tenderness.
