The anti-corrosion function of magnesium oxide

Magnesium oxide as an inorganic salt, food on use generally as an additive, used to increase magnesium ions and other uses, according to the latest research found that magnesium oxide can be used as a preservative, the ideal preservative should be non-toxic, harmless, efficient, broad-spectrum and biocompatible and so on.

Magnesium oxide can be used as a food preservative and has a strong antibacterial effect through the preparation of synthetic magnesium oxide. The antibacterial properties of magnesium oxide also improve its mechanical properties and barrier properties. In order to broaden the antibacterial properties and application value of magnesium oxide, magnesium oxide can be used in combination with other antibacterial agents.

The synergistic effect of magnesium oxide and streptococcus lactis can effectively inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in milk, which helps to extend the shelf life of milk. Magnesium oxide was added as an anti-bacterial and fungal agent to prepare degradable composites with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties.

The functional use of magnesium oxide has been further extended and its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties have been described as a new generation of preservatives.
