Shrimp strips and slices contain glycidyl ester and acrylamide. Although it is only a potential carcinogen, there is not enough evidence to show that it will cause human cancer, and it is safe to take a small amount. But we hope that the less the better, the better not.
Hazardous substances:
First of all: carcinogens.
1. epoxypropanol, also known as "glycidyl group": it is mainly used as stabilizer, demulsifier and dyeing delaminating agent for natural oil and vinyl polymer, and also used in surface coating, chemical synthesis and bactericide.
2. Acrylamide is "reducing sugar" and some amino acids produced in the process of frying, roasting and baking. The formation of acrylamide is related to Maillard reaction, such as barbecue and toast, which has a fragrant taste and attractive color. There are basically carbohydrates and protein in food, and acrylamide will inevitably be produced during heating. It can be seen everywhere in our lives.
Second: pollutants.
Chloropropanol is a food pollutant, especially in soy sauce, vinegar, chicken essence and other condiments.
If snacks are found in shrimp slices, they are related to oil. In the process of oil processing, the high temperature action of vegetable oil will produce glycidyl ester and chloropropanediol. As long as vegetable oil is used, chloropropanediol and epoxypropanol will be brought into food more or less, not only snacks, but also fritters and cakes we eat.
