There are many kinds of food desiccant commonly used on the market. At present, there are three kinds of desiccant commonly used for food: silica gel desiccant (transparent particles), lime desiccant (white block). On the market, silica gel desiccant accounts for a larger proportion. Silica gel desiccant insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic tasteless, stable chemical properties, in addition to strong alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not react with any substance. At the same time, silica gel is the only through the FDA certification, and drugs, food direct contact with the use of desiccant.
Although there are many kinds, most of the ones used for food use silicone. Why? Because silica gel is insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, stable chemical properties, in addition to strong alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not react with any substance. At the same time, silica gel is the only through the FDA certification, and drugs, food direct contact with the use of desiccant. If ingested, do not worry, because it is not absorbed by the stomach and intestines, can be excreted through feces, no toxicity to the human body. There is no need to do special treatment after taking it. Unless there is dizziness, vomiting and other special reactions, there is generally no need to seek medical attention. And other desiccant more or less will have a little toxin, can not be in direct contact with food.
For example, quicklime desiccant expands with water and generates a lot of heat, which will burn the skin and stomach by accident. Because of the frequent explosion and wounding events, it is gradually eliminated. If ingestion, drink water or milk immediately, but should limit the amount of drink, at 10 ml per kilogram of body weight, the total should not exceed 200 ml. Because excessive may cause vomiting, severe cases need to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
