Recently articles are even more often published in the press with various opinions on use in food of biologically active additives.
In opinions of many scientists, in the conditions of a defective and poor-quality food use in food of biologically active substances as a whole is justified and scientifically proved.
At the same time, before to buy and use in food biologically active substances, it is necessary to consult to the skilled doctor, carefully to study additive structure. The relation to BUD should be same serious, as well as to medical preparations.
Whether food bioadditives and as far as they are safe for an organism are necessary to us?
The majority of people, speaking about food additives, very often confuses two essentially different things: actually food additives and biologically active additives to food (BUD). The well-known substances used by the person for improvement of taste of products belong to food additives: salt, pepper, garlic, vinegar etc.
Biologically active additives to food – it is the special substances intended, as a rule, for individual use.
Food additives are present at the majority of products, even in so-called non-polluting. To them various dyes, aromatizator, emulsifiers, podslastitel etc. also belong. Use of food additives is completely justified, as they not only provide long storage of products, but also improve their natural taste and aroma, accelerate some engineering procedures, and also promote preservation of a trade dress of products.
According to the destination food additives are subdivided into some classes:
E the 100th 183 – is dyes (them use for a podkrashivaniye of a certain foodstuff in necessary colors);
E the 200th 290 – preservatives (promote long storage of foodstuff);
E the 300th 399 – antioxidants or antioxidants (slow down oxidizing processes and, thereby, prevent products from chemical damage, (for example, E 300 – ascorbic acid);
E the 400th 499 – stabilizers (keep the set consistence of products) and thickeners;
E the 500th 599 – emulsifiers (support a certain structure of foodstuff);
E the 600th 699 – amplifiers of taste and aroma;
E the 700th 800 – spare indexes;
E 900 and further – antifomingi (foam quenchers);
E 1000 and further – new group into which various glazing agents, podslastitel of juice and confectionery, the additives interfering caking of sugar and salt, and also an additive for processing of a flour, starch and other products entered.
"E+chislo’s" index, except designation of the additive, testifies that this production with a bioadditive is allowed to application in the foodstuff manufacturing country, passed multistage sanitary control of the countries of the European market.
BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE ADDITIVES (BUD) – it is concentrates natural (or identical natural) biologically active substances received from vegetative, animal or mineral raw materials, and also chemical or microbiological synthesis. Recently a probiotics also concerns them – specially created bacterial preparations of a functional food, in their basis – activity of live microorganisms of bifidobakteriya which favorably influence microflora of a gastroenteric path.
Researches of dieticians of the different countries testify that in foodstuff which passed technological processing, the content of vitamins sharply decreases, macro – and microcells. The international experience also confirms, what even in developed countries with sufficient level of providing the population the food, the requirement it in the main food substances completely isn’t satisfied. Proceeding from it, scientists came to a conclusion that use of biologically active additives to food is the fastest, economically acceptable and scientifically reasonable action.
According to many scientists, wide use BUD, including specialized appointment, gives the chance easily and quickly, without overloading an organism superfluous calories, to fill up deficiency of necessary components; optimum to balance structure of a food of the population; to increase resilience of an organism to influence of adverse factors of environment; to receive a non-drug, safe way of regulation and support of activity of separate bodies and organism systems, to carry out active preventive actions from many diseases.
Biologically active additives subdivide into two groups:
The first of them – nutricevtiki – the main irreplaceable (essentsialny) products. Vitamins A concern them, With, D, E and group B vitamins; polynonsaturated zhirnyekisloty; amino acids and their complexes; fosfolipidy; mineral substances (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus); microcells (iron, iodine, selenium, zinc, fluorides idr.).
The second – parapharmaceutics – natural products which contain organic acids, alkaloidy, bioflavonoidy, biogene and other biologically active substances which have medical regulating and effect action on functions of separate bodies and organism systems. Vegetative extracts concern them with high concentration of physiologically active substances (a ginseng, eleuterokokk, a gold root (radio-gramophone), a limonnik, various seaweed, etc.); mineral and organic substrata (mummy, etc.); products of activity of animals and bees (animal and vegetative poison, bile, honey, propolis, etc.); various phytoteas and collecting herbs; a probiotics – bacterial preparations of a functional food and food fibers (cellulose, pectin, megnin, etc.).
Usually, biologically active additives to food apply in the form of tablets, capsules, syrups, concentrates and extracts which can be used for preparation of drinks, juice and biococktails.
Biologically active additives are how safe?
According to the American news agency "Assoshiyeyted Press", in 1997 79 death, related were officially registered more than 2,5 thousand cases of collateral action caused by bioadditives, and. More all complications (900) and death (44) was connected with bioadditives which contain efedrin, different types of "dietary" tea, hormonal additives, the substances allocated from zhivokosta (contains toxic for a liver alkaloidy). Referring to agency on quality control of foodstuff, medicines and cosmetics of the USA, also authentic data on negative consequences for health of the raised doses of vitamins (And, E, by D, and C) and microcells (iron, iodine, selenium) are provided.
Considering it before to buy and use BUD, it is necessary to consult to the skilled doctor, carefully to learn diodobavka structure. The relation to them should be serious, as well as to medical preparations.
