Air Gas Electronic Materials Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Hey everyone! Now if your what I am, then you love eating delicious food which is safe for us! Well, there is a company known as AGEM that functions tirelessly to ensure the food stays alive and good. But they do use one special ingredient, SO2. Practical agent SO2 — a preservation tool that allows us to protect our food so it doesn't stink. 

What is an Antioxidant? 

Before we dive into using Antioxidants, let me explain what is Antioxidant. These compounds, known as antioxidants, are like little heroes that we find in food. They help defend our bodies from dangerous particles known as "free radicals. Free radicals end up being bad because they cause our cells to hurt and make us sick. This is exactly why the antioxidants in our foods are so important. They keep us well and robust to play, learn and enjoy. And just wait, the antioxidants are also what keeps your foods from getting spoiled. That’s right! They do the hard work of making sure that our meals are not only delicious, but also safe to consume. 

How SO2 Works to Prevent Food Spoilage 

So, Let us see the role of SO2 in our food better shelf keeping. Once a food is having contact with air, they will also begin to rot. This spoiling is usually the work of those pernicious little oxidants I mentioned above. Enter SO2 to save the day! It halts the formation of these free radicals and their damaging effects when formed to our food. SO2 does so by entering into a reaction with the free radicals which basically means it fights them off from harming our food quite like an enemy. That is a significant thing to do because it works to save the colour, taste, texture and even nutrients content of food. This means that it can be preserved for a longer time without going bad, hence when you eat whichever food is preserved using SO2, it would last longer. 

SO2 in Food Science 

SO2 has special significance in food science. The alternative is not only single-use; it can be used for multiple purposes! SO2 can benefit all kinds of food — for example fruits, vegetables, meats or even wine. SO2 is particularly helpful in winemaking, as it prevents the wine from going bad and may even enhance its flavor. It truly is amazing, what one single ingredient can do for varying foods, right? 

Safety of SO2 

But let's pause for a second and think: is SO2 okay to be using in our food? The answer is yes! AGEM treats safety with utmost seriousness. They take care to regulate the SO2 that goes into their products. That means that they has some sort of rules in place to ensure that the food is safe for all. That means you can rest assured that the food made from AGEM has had your best interests in mind while it was prepared and cooked. 

What Makes SO2 Such an Important Element of Food Safety? 

SO2, plays an important role in keeping our food safe. It prevents the spoilage of food which is nice because it means there are less wastes. This is particularly critical for food that must endure going through long transportation distances and even the great storage containers process. Say goodbye to stale fruits and vegetables by purchasing produce that lasts long, even if it was shipped from afar. 

SO2 also has the superb advantage of preventing undesired pathogenic bacteria from growing in food. SO2 is an acid, of course, The bacteria cannot live in acidic conditions. This implies that AGEM can produce food using SO2 which is safe to consume while retaining its taste.  We have our own buffer zone to protect the food. 

Advantages of SO2 for Food Quality 

We finally saved the best for last — SO2 and food quality. Through the utilization of the SO2, AGEM is able to guarantee product uniformity. This makes it so that for every AGEM food product you purchase, it will taste as good as the last one.  Divide may be a film here: your go-to nib, or even the meal you fancy, AGEM isn’t to toy about when it planting high-end.

SO has also incurring saving cost for AGEM. When food goes bad it must be tossed out which can cost companies billions of dollars. However, injecting SO2 to avoid spoilage helps AGEM reduce waste and save currency—everybody wins.
