Yang Zizhong, vice president of the fermented pasta branch of the Chinese Grain and Oil Society, said: Yeast is actually a food, it is not an additive, and it can be used with confidence. Yang Zizhong believes that the main reason for people's misunderstanding is that when yeast is used, the method is similar to other additives, so many people mistakenly believe that yeast is also a food additive. However, yeast is a real food, it does not belong to food additives. In China, the national standard GB2760 "hygienic standards for the use of food additives" in Appendix F (food classification system)

Yang Zizhong believes that the main reason for people's misunderstanding is that when yeast is used, the method is similar to other additives, so many people mistakenly believe that yeast is also a food additive.
However, yeast is a real food, it does not belong to food additives.
In China, Appendix F (Food Classification System) in the national standard GB2760 "Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives" clearly stipulates that the food classification number of yeast is 16.04. Therefore, it belongs to the category of food, like milk and water.
It is reported that human beings have used yeast for thousands of years. In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, yeast has a history of more than 100 years of industrial production. It is currently the most beneficial bacteria used by humans. As a microbial food, yeast, like mushrooms and fungi, belongs to edible fungi.
Many people have this question: Since yeast is a microorganism with high nutritional value, it should be directly used as a nutritious food, but why is it widely used in the production of bread and steamed bread?
"Yeast can be made because it is active. When it encounters the sugar in the flour, it will" eat "the sugar, decompose the sugar, and generate energy for reproduction and growth. At the same time, this process produces carbon dioxide gas, which expands and fluffy the dough. In the late anaerobic environment, under the action of yeast, the decomposition of sugar substances to produce alcohol, so that the dough has a special flavor. The whole process is a process of biological fermentation, which is harmless, and the steamed bread and bread produced are soft, delicious and nutritious." Yang Zizhong said.
With the continuous progress of science and technology, yeast is no longer only eaten as a noodle. Yeast and its derivatives have been widely used in baked goods, fermented pasta, wine and alcohol industry, food seasoning, nutrition and health care, animal nutrition and other fields, and have become a magical partner of human health.
