Application of magnesium oxide in food

Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that magnesium is an important element needed by the human body and plays an important role in regulating neuromuscular operation and blood sugar conversion. Therefore, a small amount of magnesium oxide needs to be added to many foods to supplement magnesium. The total magnesium content of a normal adult body is about 25g, of which 60%-65% is present in bones and teeth, and 27% is distributed in soft tissues. Magnesium is mainly distributed in cells, and the magnesium in extracellular fluid does not exceed 1%. Magnesium serves as an activator of multiple enzymes and participates in the reactions of more than 300 enzymes. Magnesium can form complexes with many important components in cells, such as adenosine triphosphate, to activate enzyme systems, or directly act as an activator of enzymes to activate enzyme systems.

Preparation process of food grade granular magnesium oxide for tableting

Magnesium oxide can be used as an anti-caking agent and antacid in sugar products such as wheat flour, milk powder chocolate, cocoa powder, grape powder, sugar powder, etc. Magnesium oxide is significantly more effective than sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in treating stomach problems. It not only neutralizes gastric acid in a strong and slow and lasting manner, but also can treat gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers because no carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction. sick.

Magnesium oxide can be used to increase magnesium levels in our bodies. Many people also use magnesium oxide as an antacid and laxative to relieve constipation and stomach upset caused by excess stomach acid. According to surveys, the daily intake of magnesium for adults in my country is 356.8 mg +/-159.0 mg. Based on foreign data, the Chinese Nutrition Society’s appropriate intake (AI) of magnesium for adults is 350 mg/day.
