Food-grade hydrogen peroxide is widely used in aseptic packaging of dairy products, beverages and other foods and in the production of pure water, mineral water, dairy products, beverages, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, beer and other foods.

In recent years, with the development of food industry, the demand for food-grade hydrogen peroxide is increasing, especially in dairy industry. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide must be used for disinfection and sterilization of aseptic packaging of pure milk and yogurt. Because the production of food-grade hydrogen peroxide has certain technical difficulties, only a few domestic enterprises have the ability to produce food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Most food enterprises use food-grade hydrogen peroxide in food industry in two ways: one is imported from abroad; The second is to replace it with industrial-grade hydrogen peroxide.

It is incorrect to replace food-grade hydrogen peroxide with industrial hydrogen peroxide. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide is a high-quality and high-purity oxidant with high purity, less impurities and good stability. Can be widely applied to various fields of the food industry. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide has excellent stability and is especially suitable for dairy products. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide is allowed to be used as a processing aid in food production according to the Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives, and should be removed before being made into finished products. Those that cannot be removed should be strictly controlled within the prescribed scope.

Within the limits recognized by international authorities, food-grade hydrogen peroxide is not only allowed to be used, but also relatively safe. According to the conversion ratio between the safe dose of animal population and the safe dose of human population in the world, that is, 100: 1, it is safe for human body to drink drinking drinking water containing 0.26 ~ 0.37mg/kg hydrogen peroxide every day without any toxic or side effects. The average weight of the population is 65 kg, which means that it is safe to drink drinking water containing 16.9 to 24.05 mg of hydrogen peroxide every day.

Approved by national sanitation foundation, hydrogen peroxide can be used as a disinfectant for drinking water. According to the toxicity test of drinking water containing hydrogen peroxide 13 weeks, when the daily dosage of hydrogen peroxide in male mice reaches 239 mg/kg, 328 mg/kg to 547 mg/kg, and that in female mice reaches 785 mg/kg, 70% to 80% of mice will have mild burns on their gastric mucosa or duodenal mucosa, but all symptoms can be cured within 6 weeks. When the daily dose of hydrogen peroxide reached 76 mg/kg in male mice and 65438±0.03mg/kg/kg in female mice, the proportion of mild burning pain in gastric mucosa or duodenal mucosa in male mice was 65 438 00%, while that in female mice was 0, and no other pathological conditions occurred. When the daily dose of hydrogen peroxide was 26 mg/kg for male mice and 37 mg/kg for female mice, no side effects were observed in both male and female mice.

Catalase can decompose hydrogen peroxide quickly, so there is no danger of poisoning when ingesting a small amount of hydrogen peroxide.
