Glass bottles are better for health

Bottles, which are one of the main glass products, are familiar packaging containers. In recent decades, with the development of industrial technology, a variety of new packaging materials such as plastics, composite materials, special packaging papers, tinplates, and aluminum foils have been manufactured. Glass packaging material is in a fierce competition with other packaging materials. Due to the advantages of transparency, good chemical stability, low price, beautiful appearance, easy manufacturing, and multiple recycling, glass bottles and cans can not be replaced by other packaging materials despite competing with other packaging materials. specialty.

In recent years, people have found that eating plastic barrels (bottles) containing edible oil, wine, vinegar, and soy sauce can cause harm to human health through more than ten years of life.

1. Long-term use of plastic barrels (bottles) to hold edible oils, edible oils will dissolve into plasticizers harmful to the human body. 95% of edible oils in the domestic market are packed in plastic barrels (bottles) and stored for a long time (usually For more than a week, edible oils dissolve into plasticizers that are harmful to the human body. Domestic experts once collected plastic barrels (bottles) with different brands and different date of manufacture on the market to test soybean salad oil, blended oil and peanut oil. The test results showed that all tested plastic buckets (bottles) contain edible oils. Plasticizer "dibutyl phthalate".

Plasticizers have a toxic effect on the human reproductive system and are more toxic to men. However, due to the chronic toxicity of plasticizers, it is not easy to detect them. After more than ten years of widespread existence, it has attracted the attention of experts at home and abroad.

2. Condiments of alcohol, vinegar, soy sauce and other condiments contained in plastic barrels (bottles) are easily contaminated by ethylene harmful to the human body.

Plastic barrels (bottles) are mainly made of materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene and added with various solvents. Polyethylene and polypropylene materials are non-toxic and can be used in canned beverages without adverse effects on the human body. However, since the plastic bottle still contains a small amount of ethylene monomer in the production process, if long-term storage of fat-soluble organic substances such as wine, vinegar, etc., will occur physical and chemical reactions, ethylene monomer will slowly dissolve. In addition, the use of plastic barrels (bottles) for wine, vinegar, soy sauce, etc., in the air, plastic bottles will be subject to oxygen, ultraviolet radiation and other aging and release more vinyl monomer, so that the wine stored in the barrel (bottle) , vinegar, soy sauce and other metamorphic taste.

The long-term consumption of food contaminated with ethylene will cause dizziness, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, memory loss and other symptoms, and severe cases can also lead to anemia.

From the above, we can conclude that with the continuous improvement of people's pursuit of quality of life, people will pay more and more attention to the safety of food. With the vast number of consumers in the plastic barrel (bottle) loaded with edible oil, vinegar, soy sauce and other hazards to the human body With the popularity and in-depth development, glass bottles and cans are a kind of packaging containers that are beneficial to human health and will gradually become the consensus of the vast number of consumers, and will also become new opportunities for the development of glass bottles and cans.
