After investigation, the mother and daughter's home has been used for 6 years, and the "sour soup" in the jar has never been replaced, and the pathogenic bacteria are detected in the sauerkraut altar.

Where does Botox in homemade sauerkraut come from? The reporter interviewed Yuan Pu, the director of the Nutrition and Food Safety Research Office of the Henan Provincial Disease Prevention and Control Center.

Botox toxin is very toxic, but sensitive to heat

Yuan Po introduced that Botox bacteria can only grow in foods without oxygen and low -acidic foods. Therefore, foods are low -acid and no air, which may grow and produce fatal toxins.

Pickled sauerkrauts meet the growth conditions of Botox.

When making self -made pickles, there is no way to ensure the purity of a strict sterilization environment and the fermentation microorganism of fermentation. If the conditioning conditions are not controlled, microorganisms are very prone to occur.

The "old altar sauerkraut" in the news is fermented under closed conditions.

Among the vegetables that are added again and again, it is inevitable that Botox and Botox spores are inevitable.

During the fermentation process, the oxygen in the jar is consumed to form a hypoxic environment, which meets the conditions of Botox's growth, which causes toxin.

Botox toxin is considered to be the most severe neurotoxin at present.

The symptoms of food -based botulinum toxin poisoning are different from common food poisoning. They are mainly symptoms of neurological systems. Clinical symptoms include blurred vision, resurgence, drooping eyelids, etc. Symptoms, in the later period, diaphragm paralysis, muscle relaxation, until dystocia died.

Although botulinum toxin is very toxic, botulinum toxin is more sensitive to heat. In an environment with a temperature of 100 ° C, it can be destroyed for 10 minutes. A poisoning reaction occurred.

Three steps to distinguish whether sauerkraut is deteriorated

How to distinguish or unqualified sauerkraut when buying or self -made sauerkraut? Yuan Pu gives the following suggestions:

Color

The good sauerkraut is slightly white, the leaves are slightly yellow, and the overall color is refreshing. If the sauerkraut is black and the leaves are obviously rotten, it means that it will definitely deteriorate.

Smell

The normal sauerkraut smells sour, but if it smells obvious sour smell or corrupted smell, then such sauerkraut must be broken and you must not eat it.

Look at

Good sauerkraut feels toughness to the touch. If the sauerkraut is sticky and broken as soon as it is pressed by hand, such sauerkraut cannot be eaten.

Yuan Pu particularly reminded that fermented foods are best not to make homemade family. It is difficult for ordinary people to control the content of various fungus and nitrite. It is usually not easy to distinguish whether the quality is intact. Once consumed, there may be potential harm to health.

It is recommended to purchase commercial products for commercialized production through regular channels, and standardized commercial production has good operating specifications and testing to prevent the emergence of fungi and botulinum toxin and beyond nitrite.

If you really want to make foods and fermented foods, the food production, processing, and preservation process must be clean and hygienic, and it must be fully heated before consumption (such as cooking ten minutes) before eating, so that even botulinum toxins will lose toxicity.

In addition, you must clean it a few more times when you buy it home, until the color of the water becomes clear.

If you don't eat it right away or do not finish it once, put it in the refrigerator to store it.

If the sauerkraut is found to have mildew or a white film on the surface, it is necessary to throw it away. Moral sauerkrauts are carcinogenic, and even if the mildew part is removed, it cannot be eaten.

Generally, the packaging of sauerkraut bought in the supermarket will have a shelf life. Be sure to pay attention to the shelf life and eat it during the shelf life.
