食品添加剂现状（Status of food additives）

食品添加剂现状（Status of food additives） 食品添加剂现状(Status of food additives) With competitive products Chinese food additive output now accounts for only about 15% of international trade, but in a few varieties, has an important status and influence in the world, in addition to a variety of traditional exports of natural flavors and Chinese unique, some modern developed varieties also show its excellent export competitiveness. The citric acid: the world consumption of about 600 thousand tons, 75% ~ 80% applied in food industry. China an annual output of 270 thousand tons, exports 200 thousand tons, output and export volume accounted for Europe and the United States, but the first in the world. Chinese and citric acid has the advantages of low cost, in the United States market citric acid 75 cents per pound, while China produced only 55 cents, has a strong competitive edge. The xylose and xylitol: world consumption of more than 20 thousand tons per year, mainly for the prevention of dental caries Chinese food, with an annual output of more than 10 thousand tons (30 thousand tons capacity), exports about more than 10 thousand tons, is the world's first production and export country, world trade volume accounted for more than 50%, some countries from China imported raw materials and export processing. The preservative: according to reports, the world annual consumption of 45 thousand tons of the 30 thousand tons of preservatives. The potassium sorbate: the annual consumption of 10 thousand tons, the market price of $3.9 per pound. The annual production capacity of more than Chinese million tons, the cost per kilogram less than 3.5 yuan. The past belongs to imported varieties, can now be exported. Sodium benzoate: the annual consumption of 10 thousand China tons, with an annual output of 40 thousand tons, exports more than 10 thousand tons. The world consumption of saccharin saccharin: every year the equivalent of 11 million tons of sugar sweetness, which accounted for 44% of Asia, the Americas accounted for 18%. Saccharin sweetness is sugar 300 "--500 times, accounting for all kinds of high sweetener consumption 60~ / 6. With an annual output of 25 thousand tons China saccharin, exports more than 10 thousand tons, accounting for more than 50% of the volume of trade. The ethylmaltol: international trade volume of 1500 tons. Chinese production capacity of more than 2000 tons. 8 backbone plant annual production capacity of 1500 tons, exports 1200 tons, accounting for 80% of the volume of international trade. Only from the above several varieties of production and export volume can be seen Chinese food additives has a pivotal position in the international market. Because of the price advantage, China's export volume of vitamin B increased significantly. China is expected to become the world's largest producer of vitamin B. Because many countries will be included in the list of food additives and vitamin B, the vitamin B sales have doubled. Chinese dimension B price is usually higher than the number of foreign similar products of low 40~ / more than 6, foreign B priced at $70-8O / kg. According to statistics, in recent years, China's food additives (including fermentation products) of the total annual output of more than 2 million tons, the growth rate of more than 10%. Monosodium glutamate, citric acid, xylose, xylitol and ethyl maltol used in perfume and other products of the production continues to maintain the world's first position. Food additives industry technical level and management level has been greatly improved, the product cost is greatly reduced, significantly enhance the competitiveness of products in the market. Foreign investment China food additive industry Roche, another major investment in China, the completion of the project, a total investment of USD 4 million 500 thousand, Roche (Shanghai) Fine Chemical Co., 4O tons / year pure catechin new factory in Shanghai, Pudong New Area put into operation. The factory also marks the start, Roche has become the first international industrial production of pure catechin manufacturers. The Roche TEAVIGOTM new products can be widely used in the field of solid beverage, food, medicine and food additives. It is reported that. This will be for the global market in China production TEAVIGOTM. The project put into operation, not only to create a pure industrial production of catechin precedent, but also introduced international advanced production standards. Food processors global biotechnology Corporation (GlobalBiochem Technology Group) and the joint venture Mitsui Co in the production and sales of China's Jilin Province, Changchun sorbitol. The global Biotech Corp in the joint venture holding 51%, Mitsui Holdings 49%. The project total investment of 15 million US dollars. Sorbitol usually with sugar is prepared for the production of a large number of toothpaste and vitamin C, is used as a sweetener of snacks and beverages. The joint venture, the initial capacity of 60 thousand tons / year, which is 6 70~ / liquid sorbitol, there are different levels, for the production of cosmetics, food and vitamin C. Device has been put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2003. The development direction of large-scale operation of the road is the inevitable development of food additives in china. At present, food additive production enterprises in China there are many small scale, is often a small product has dozens of production enterprises. For example, xylitol, our production and exports ranked first in the world, but other countries such as Russia, each enterprise production is around more than 3000 tons, a country of two or three, while China has more than 5O, each only 300-500 tons, the sum of the largest number of enterprises, the scale is relatively small. The enterprise does not scale, technical force is also weak, equipment, technology, business and management means, the relative difference of production capacity, the development of new technology, new product development ability, the content of science and technology, science and technology talent reserves in the market, the lack of ability to. The production of the same food additives products more than the number of companies, funds and equipment output caused by repeated and repeated investment products, the cost of the product is generally high, and most refined products, high technology content, and to develop new varieties of food additives by one or two smaller enterprises is not possible, neither enough money and the lack of adequate technical input. The small scale of the number of food additives also caused domestic product quality is not stable. At present, China's food additive can barely say the main products are quality assurance, and the quality of many food additives products is not stable. Plus a small number of food additives in order to reduce the cost of enterprise profit, adulterated, fake and shoddy products lvjinbujue, so that the image of China's food additive product overall quality level and the industry have been seriously affected, leading to food processing enterprises in China for domestic food additives and lack of trust instead of the corresponding foreign companies additive brand products. China food additives food additives industry must change the current number of enterprises, small scale, strong technical force, focus on supporting large-scale enterprises, through intensive and scale management, to enhance their strength, improve quality, reduce costs, develop new products, the creation and development of China's food additive industry of national brands. The competition of food additives to big companies and international market products. Reference
