Chemical Products Kojicacid Product Usage
(1) Kojic acid has a very wide range of applications in food production. In the past, kojic acid has been used in oils to prevent rancidity due to its antioxidant properties. In recent years, it has been reported in the literature that kojic acid has bactericidal and insecticidal effects. As a food preservative, preservative, and color preservative, it has obvious effects and can replace chemical Preservatives are widely used in the color protection of meat food processing, preservation of fruits and vegetables, sterilization and preservation of raw foods, and can also be used as a cut flower retaining agent to extend the preservation of flowers and shelf life. The addition of kojic acid in food will not affect its own taste, flavor and texture, but also hinder the conversion of nitrite into nitrosamines that are carcinogenic to the human body. This kind of hindering or inhibiting effect has no effect on cured meat products. The upgrade of the new generation is very important. In terms of agricultural production, kojic acid can be used as both a biological pesticide, an insecticide, and a biological fertilizer. Whether spraying or root application, it has a significant effect on increasing production and income of food and vegetables. (2) As raw materials for food flavoring agents maltol and ethyl maltol. (3) Kojic acid can be used as a raw material for the production of cephalosporin antibiotics. (4) In addition to its wide application in food processing, kojic acid also has good cosmetic effects for freckle removal and whitening. Kojic acid and its derivatives such as acetate have certain antibacterial properties, no one-time irritation and cumulative irritation to the skin, and can be used as a preservative in cosmetics and food. It can absorb ultraviolet light strongly, and can be used alone or in combination with various sunscreen products such as soap. It can treat and prevent the formation of skin spots such as liver spots, and the dosage is 1 to 2.5%. Helps maintain humidity and reduce skin wrinkles. Used in hair products to remove dandruff. (5) Kojic acid can be used as a raw material for flavoring and manufacturing larch and ethyl larch.
