Sanannun tushen mercury a cikin high-fructose masara syrup

[gyara sashe | gyara masomin]

The presence of mercury in HFCS has been attributed to the use of mercury-grade caustic soda and mercury-grade hydrogen chloride in the corn syrup manufacturing process.[4][15] Both chemicals are found to contain mercury residues when derived from the mercury-cell chlor-alkali chemical manufacturing process.[16] Another source of the mercury residue in HFCS, however, is the routine application of mercuric chloride (0.01 M) on the corn during the starch extraction process.[17]
