Melamine
Congratulations afternoon we meet again friend.ok just after yesterday we discuss thoroughly the drug to this day we turn the talk of the melamine.
What is melamine? and why are we talking about?
yes Melamine is an organic base with chemical formula C3H6N6. This substance is a trimer of cyanida. Together with melamine formaldehyde resin used to produce melamine, a highly heat-resistant plastic, and melamine foam, polymeric cleaning product. Melamine is a metabolite of Cyromazine, one of the pesticide compounds.
then why do we talk about is what to do with our health.?
This is because lately a lot found cases of food / milk containing melamine that the annunciator.
especially milk, has drawn a lot of milk because it contains melamine Badan POM.
Why Melamine added to milk in? Melamine added to milk to make 'as if' high levels of protein in milk. This is usually done in ruminant animals (cattle, buffalo, and others) to increase the nitrogen intake. Unlike the other animals, ruminant animals such as cows obtain nitrogen intake of food fermentation processes rather than the protein (the main food is grass cow) by bacteria found in the digestive system. Nitrogen is the result of fermentation is referred to as non-protein nitrogen (NPN)
Based on the information on the WHO website, the mixing of melamine in milk originated from the action pengoplosan milk with water. As a result of this dilution, the protein content of milk down. Because the factory is usually made from raw milk check through the determination of protein content the nitrogen content, the addition of melamine to fool the checks are intended to dilute the milk protein content were categorized as normal.
High protein content is commonly used as a parameter to determine the quality of dairy milk has a large amount of protein, one can say he has a good quality. So no matter the manufacturer to get the product has high protein content.
Well after we finished to understand what is melamine let us move in the next post which is about what melamine danger to the health of our bodies.?
I'll see you in the next post
