I heard that the wound of soy sauce will become dark, soy sauce: "I don't carry this pot!"

Eating more soy sauce will make the skin wound black?

#is this real?

What determines the color of the skin?

The decisive factor of skin color is mainly genetic genes; as well as adjustment of endocrine hormones, such as women in the age of childbearing age, facial skin is susceptible to endocrine and has chloasma; others such as ultraviolet rays in the sun can also make the skin black.

Why is soy sauce characteristic reddish brown?

Soy sauce is mainly made of soybean, wheat, bran and other ingredients. The ingredients are rich in protein. The tyrosine is generated by fermentation, oxidation, amylase hydrolysis and other processes. Reddish brown.

In addition, the pigment in the old soy sauce is the color produced by the additional caramel.

Although soy sauce also contains tyrosine, the content is not high, which is lower than common foods such as milk and soy milk. After the nutritional ingredients in soy sauce are eaten, they will be digested and absorbed as colorless amino acids and polypeptide mixtures, and there is no activity of catalytic chemical reactions.

The answer is here!

Since the pigment of soy sauce cannot be absorbed and converted into skin pigments, ...

Eating more soy sauce will not deepen the skin pigment!

Eating other dark black foods such as black beans, black sesame seeds, etc., will not cause the skin color to deepen.

Editor's reminder

The injured skin can cause inflammation, stimulating the skin melanocytes secreted cytokines in the affected area, activating immune response, thereby increasing the production of melanin.

Therefore, after the skin has wounds, be careful to avoid being exposed to sunlight, so as to avoid melanocytes activated by ultraviolet rays, leading to melanin.

In most cases, as time and inflammation reaction decreases, pigmentation will gradually fade after inflammation. If you have wound scars, you can go to the hospital for treatment.
