Medical field

Alum is cold and sour, with strong Convergence action Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alum has the effects of detoxification, insect killing, dampness drying, itching, hemostasis, diarrhea, heat clearing and phlegm elimination, and anti vaginal trichomonad Etc. Some Chinese medicine uses alum to treat Hyperlipidemia duodenal ulcer , pulmonary tuberculosis, hemoptysis and other diseases [5]

Food field

Deep frying Deep-Fried Dough Sticks When puffing (cake) or food, if baking soda is added to flour and then alum is added, the production of carbon dioxide will be accelerated, greatly accelerating the puffing speed. In this way, the dough sticks (cakes) can be quickly inflated and fluffy in the hot oil pan.
Safety Alert : in alum Aluminium ion And senile dementia and Intellectual impairment in children Highly relevant, aluminum containing food additives have been banned by the state. This item is only for science popularization, and it is not allowed to use any additives containing alum to make food in daily life. Manufacturing aluminum containing food for sale may also constitute a crime. [2]
Aluminium ion pair nervous system The injury of the lung cancer is long and lasting, and can show obvious symptoms only after ten years or even decades. Since ancient times average life span Short, lack of enough clinical epidemiology As evidence, the ancients often believed that alum was non-toxic. Must not be personal experience or around solitary cases let alone non-toxic alum, eating is no harm. Try to avoid using it in daily food. If medical application is required, it is necessary to clinician Or under the guidance of TCM doctors [6]
