brief introduction

Caramel pigment is a natural pigment, which is widely used in food and is an important member of food additives. In 1960s, it was once suspected to be harmful to human body because of its cyclization compound tetramethylimidazole, which was banned by governments all over the world.

After years of hard research by scientists, it has been proved that it is harmless. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint Expert Committee on International Food Additives (JECFA) have all confirmed that caramel pigment is safe, but they have limited its tetramethylimidazole. Therefore, the caramel industry around the world has accelerated its development.

According to the literature, the annual output of Britain, France and Germany is above 1. 10000 tons, and that of the United States is above 100000 tons. However, there is no statistical data on the annual output of China. The author estimates that it is about 12 ~ 150000 tons.

Before the 1990s, most of the caramel industry in China was produced by workshop-style manual methods, and few manufacturers could produce it by scientific methods. Only single salt-tolerant caramel for soy sauce was produced, with poor quality and poor hygiene indicators.

China can't produce acid-resistant caramel used in cola drinks yet, so it needs to be imported at a high price. So far, there is no formal manufacturer of solid caramel. Therefore, the caramel industry in China is in urgent need of development and research.
