Ready to bring the most modern Spherizone technology in the production of PP plastic resin from LyondellBasell Company. which is a shareholder of HMC Polymers, towards the production of special grade and high quality grade PP plastic pellets (Differentiated) for more diverse applications. Whether it is a medical and hygiene group Both rigid and flexible packaging groups and group of parts large industry Mr. Phonchai Phichitwutthikorn, Senior Vice President The Strategy, Innovation and Commercial Division discussed strategies from the perspective of pushing products towar ds sustainability, starting with Circularity Pilar, in addition to maintaining the standards of special grade and high quality PP plastic pellets. (Differentiated) to always be superior to competitors It has also developed sustainable products, divided into 3 types according to their outstanding properties: Reduce: Bio-based PP plastic pellets produced from used raw materials, such as used vegetable oil, etc., helping to reduce carbon emissions. in the production process Bio-based PP plastic pellets received ISCC PLUS certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification agency. which is an international standard that certifies products for sustainability. Downgauging PP plastic pellets that have very high strength and performance. Therefore, it can reduce the plastic content in the molding of the workpiece. But it still works well as before. ' Recycle: Chemically recycled PP plastic pellets (Chemical Recycling PP) is taking used plastic through a chemical process called Pyrolysis bef ore being used as raw material for producing PP plastic pellets again. Chemically recycled PP plastic pellets ISCC PLUS certified as well. Recycled PP plastic pellets. Mechanical (Mechanical Recycling PP) is recycled PP plastic pellets produced from PP plastic that has already been used by consumers. (Post-Consumer Recycled, PCR) or PP plastic from discarding or not meeting requirements during the industrial production process. (Post Industrial Recycled, PIR) by mechanically recycled PP plastic pellets Certified by GRS (Global Recycled Standard), which is an international standard. that certifies recycled products Redesign and Replace: PP Monomaterial plastic pellets, PP plastic pellets to replace Aluminum Foil, resulting in film packaging being a single material plastic or Monomaterial, which is easier to recycle because there are no other raw materials mixed in.

On social media, news clips were shared warning that Oil-free fryer or Air Fryer that many people like to use. It can cause food to contain carcinogens. Referring to warnings from Hong Kong ?? Check the facts with expert Dr. Monruedee Sukprasansap. Lecturer in the Toxicology and Nutrition for Food Safety course Institute of Nutrition Mahidol University Oil-free fryers cause food to cause carcinogens… ' True' This depends on the type of food that is used as an ingredient in cooking. The important thing is that it depends on temperature and time. used in cooking If the temperature rises above 120 degrees Celsius or takes too long High levels of carcinogenic substances will occur as a result. From news reported in Hong Kong This is the result of an experiment with an oil-free fryer with potatoes. The results found that a high amount of acrylamide was produced ? Potatoes are a starchy plant. There will be a high amount of an amino acid called 'asparagine' (asparagine: Asn) along with the high amount of suga r in potatoes. When the heat used for cooking exceeds 120 degrees Celsius, it can cause a group of carcinogens called acrylamide. 'Acrylamide' is the end product of a chemical reaction. That's called the Maillard reaction or brown reaction. The more scorched the sugar, Acrylamide will also be abundant. The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated ' acrylamide' as a ' Group 2A carcinogen, ' which is a carcinogen that can occur in laboratory animals. There is enough evidence. But the occurrence of cancer in humans Still waiting for additional supporting evidence. Acrylamide doesn't only occur in potatoes ? Other foods mixed with flour or bread crumbs When heated in an oil-free fryer Can cause substances in the acrylamide group as well. The formation of acrylamide is not limited to air fryers only. pan frying or put oil in That is, it's normal french fry frying. Acrylamide can also be formed. Or baking it in the oven can cause acrylamide to form as well. Other ingredients that many people like to put in an oil-free fryer, such as crispy pork, steak, fish ? Protein foods, crispy pork or various pieces of steak when cooked in an oil-free fryer. or various grilling processes do not produce acrylamide. But other carcinogens will occur, namely the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines. (Heterocyclic Amines : HCAs) instead Fish with a lot of skin, such as catfish, can be grilled or grilled. Or use an oil-free fryer. It causes carcinogens. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups can also be used. Therefore, it is worth noting to know whether meat contains carcinogens or not. It is easy to notice. The charred skin of meat that has been cooked. If it starts to scorch and turn black, it means carcinogens are already in there. Therefore, when eating, use scissors to cut. or cut off with a knife Don't eat the charred parts there. Cooking methods such as boiling, steaming, scalding, or microwaves do not produce acrylamide. Because of the heat used to cook But it doesn't cause scor ching. or even carcinogenic substances, PAHs or HCAs. How to reduce acrylamide for people who still like to eat potatoes ? Before cooking potato tubers, peel them, slice them and soak them in water for 15-30 minutes. The water will help wash away the starter. That is, the amioasparagine acid and sugar in the potato pulp are released into the water. Then pat it dry. and used to cook food in various ways Additionally, potatoes should not be stored in the refrigerator. Because of keeping in refrigerator temperature This will increase the amount of sugar in the potato pulp. When fried, the Maillard reaction will increase, and the acrylamide will increase accordingly. Can potatoes from an oil-free fryer be eaten ? Potato chips (French fries) are edible, but should not be eaten in excessive amounts. The important thing is not to eat potatoes too often. In addition to eating potatoes in moderation You should eat all 5 main food groups, eating vegetables and fruits of a variety of colors. for good health Oil-f ree fryer Causes food to contain carcinogens ? This story is true. But if you want to continue sharing Must add complete points. Otherwise, it will cause misunderstanding among consumers. In addition, the carcinogenic process It's not limited to just being born in an oil-free fryer. There are other methods of cooking. Whether it's frying, grilling, or baking, it may lead to the formation of carcinogenic substances.
