E saogalemu le 'ai ole hydroxyethylcellulose?

O le Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) e masani ona faʻaaogaina i mea e le o ni meaʻai e pei o vailaʻau, mea tau tausiga a le tagata lava ia, ma faʻalapotopotoga faʻapisinisi. E ui o le HEC lava ia e manatu e saogalemu mo le faʻaaogaina i nei talosaga, e le masani ona faʻamoemoeina mo le taumafaina e avea o se meaʻai.

I se tulaga lautele, o meaʻai-grade cellulose derivatives e pei o le methylcellulose ma le carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) o loʻo faʻaaogaina i mea taumafa e pei o mea faʻamalosi, stabilizers, ma emulsifiers. O nei mea e maua mai i le cellulose ua iloiloina mo le saogalemu ma faʻamaonia mo le faʻaaogaina i meaʻai e lala sooupu faʻatonutonu e pei o le US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ma le European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Ae ui i lea, e le masani ona faʻaaogaina le HEC i meaʻai ma atonu e leʻi oʻo i le tulaga tutusa o suʻesuʻega saogalemu e pei o meaʻai-grade cellulose derivatives. O le mea lea, e le fautuaina le faʻaaogaina o le hydroxyethylcellulose e fai ma meaʻai seʻi vagana ua faʻamaonia ma faʻamoemoe mo le faʻaaogaina o meaʻai.

Afai ei ai ni ou atugaluga e uiga i le saogalemu poʻo le talafeagai o se mea faʻapitoa mo le taumafaina, e sili ona lelei le feutagai ma pulega faʻatonutonu poʻo ni tagata tomai faʻapitoa i le saogalemu o meaʻai ma meaʻai. E le gata i lea, mulimuli i taimi uma i le fa'ailogaina o oloa ma fa'atonuga o le fa'aoga ina ia mautinoa le saogalemu ma le talafeagai o le fa'aogaina o mea'ai ma oloa e le o ni mea'ai.
