“Imikhiqizo yezilwane”, “Amafutha namafutha”, “E 123”, … uhlu lwezithako emaphaketheni okudla kwezinja luvame ukugcwala amagama adidayo. Ukuze unciphise izindleko zokukhiqiza, yonga ikhwalithi, futhi wenze ukudla kunambitheke ezinjeni, abakhiqizi ngezikhathi ezithile "bakhohlisa" izigcwalisi ezingadingekile nezithasiselo ngaphansi kokudla ukuze bakwelule. Nokho, lokhu akusho ukuthi ukudla kwezinja ezishibhile kuba kubi ngokuzenzekelayo kunemikhiqizo ebizayo. Ungakwazi ukubona izimpahla ezisezingeni eliphansi ngokubheka izithako. Kufanele uqaphele ngolwazi olulandelayo.
Qaphela Izinombolo E: Izithasiselo Zokwenziwa Ekudleni Kwezinja
Njengasemikhiqizweni eqediwe yabantu, izithasiselo zokwenziwa ekudleni kwezinja nazo zibonakala ngalokho okubizwa ngokuthi izinombolo zika-E. Lezi kungaba izilondolozi ezenza okuphakelayo kuhlale isikhathi eside, amaphunga, okukhangayo, kanye nezivuseleli zesifiso sokudla noma imibala. Eziningi zalezi zithako zisolwa ngokubangela ukungezwani komzimba nezinja ezizwelayo. I-Amaranth (E123), isibonelo, inikeza inyama umbala omuhle obomvu, iyenze ibukeke ikhanga futhi iyenze ibonakale iyintsha kumnikazi wenja (i-woof yakho, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ayinandaba nhlobo nombala obomvu). Kusolwa ukuthi ibangela ukungabekezelelani, ukusabela kwesikhumba, kanye nesifuba somoya.
Izithuthukisi ze-flavour ezimakwe ngezinombolo ze-E phakathi kuka-E 620 no-E 637 nazo azinasidingo futhi zinempikiswano. Lokhu kufaka phakathi, isibonelo, ama-glutamates, awela ehlazweni kaningi kubantu ngoba kuthiwa abangela ukungakhululeki, izinkinga zokugaya ukudla, kanye nekhanda. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izithuthukisi ukunambitheka, kanye nama-sweeteners, ama-flavour, izinto ezikhangayo kanye nezivuselela isifiso sokudla zingenza ukudla kwenja kube mnandi kakhulu kumngane wakho onemilenze emine kangangokuthi ukudle kakhulu, futhi ingozi yokukhuluphala iyanda. Uma izithako ezisele nazo ziyikhwalithi ephansi, i-woof nayo ingaba nezakhi ezibalulekile futhi izimpawu zokuntuleka zivela kancane kancane. Umthelela oyingozi wezinto ezigunyaziwe awukakafakazelwa ngaphandle kokungabaza, kodwa awufaneleki okungenani ekondlekeni kwenja okunempilo. Izinombolo zika-E ezimbalwa ohlwini lwezithako, ziba ngcono.
"Imikhiqizo Yezilwane" iyizithako ezingadingekile kakhulu
Uhlu lwezithako kwesinye isikhathi luqukethe igama elingacacile elithi "imikhiqizo yezilwane". Ngaphandle kwalapho okungeziwe “ibanga lokudla” kufakiwe, ngokuvamile imfucumfucu yasesilaheni engafanelekile ukusetshenziswa abantu. Izibonelo zemikhiqizo yezilwane inselo, izimpaphe, uqhwaku, izinwele, igazi, uqwanga kanye namathambo, umchamo, kanye nemfucumfucu. Lokho kuzwakala kungathandeki, kodwa akulimazi ngempela. Inkinga lapha ukuthi akekho ongaqonda ukuthi yini ngempela imbangela yaleli gama. Kodwa-ke, uma kuyindaba yezithako ezinengqondo ekudleni kwezinja, ngokuvamile kuhlukaniswa ngokunembe kakhulu ukuthi yiziphi izilwane ezitholakala ngezilwane ezihilelekile. Uma leli gama likhona kuphela ngokujwayelekile, ngokuvamile liyizithako inja yakho engakwazi ukuzisebenzisa futhi ngakho-ke ezingadingekile.
Izigcwalisi Ezishibhile Zivamise Ukusho Ikhwalithi Empofu
Kodwa kukhona nemikhiqizo yemifino. Lokhu udoti wezitshalo, njengama-cores, izikhumba, izihlanga, utshani, noma izinsalela zokucindezela ezivela ekukhiqizeni amafutha emifino. Umngane wakho onemilenze emine akazidingi lezi zithako, zisebenza kuphela ukugcwalisa ukudla ukuze kubukeke kungaphezu kwalokho okuyikho. Okusanhlamvu nakho kuvame ukusetshenziswa njengesigcwalisi esingabizi. I-woof yakho ingase isebenzise ama-carbs ambalwa nokusanhlamvu okuncane, ummbila, nelayisi, kodwa okuningi kwakho kusho inyama yekhwalithi encane kakhulu. Izithako eziphakeme zibalwe ohlwini lwezithako, kulapho inani lazo liphezulu ekudleni kwezinja. Kwesinye isikhathi ama-herbal fillers ahlukaniswa abe izingxenye zawo ukwenza isamba sibukeke sincane. Ngakho bheka kahle. Okunye okokugcwalisa okungadingekile ukudla kwesidumbu sezilwane, imikhiqizo yobisi, nemikhiqizo yokubhaka.
I-Molasses & Sugar? Inja Yakho Ayikudingi
Ushukela ngezinye izikhathi wengezwa ekudleni kwezinja ukuze uthuthukise ukunambitheka. Nakuba abantu bengawusebenzisa ushukela ngokulinganisela, akudingekile nhlobo ezinjeni. Into ekhohlisayo ukuthi ushukela awuhlali ubhalwe kanjalo ohlwini lwesithako. Into enoshukela nayo ingafihlwa ngemuva kwamagama athi “molasses”, “glucose” kanye “fructose”. Imikhiqizo yobisi ibhekisela kuyo yonke imfucuza evela ekwenziweni koshizi nemikhiqizo yobisi; zingase futhi zibe noshukela wobisi (lactose). Imikhiqizo yokubhaka izinsalela kusukela ekulungiseni isinkwa, amakhekhe, amabhisikidi, nokunye okunjalo - futhi isicupho sikashukela esifihliwe.
Amafutha & Amafutha: Yini Engemuva Kwabo?
"Amafutha namafutha" - lokho kuzwakala kuhle, kungani inja akufanele ikwazi ukuyisebenzisa? Into enzima lapha ukuthi imigomo ayicacile kakhulu futhi akucaci kuyo ukuthi ingamafutha anomsoco namafutha abalulekile noma cha. Amafutha athosiwe amadala, isibonelo, nawo angafihlwa ngemuva kwalesi sihloko esingacacile.
