Recently, the online rumors of "excessive evaporation residue value of steamer paper" and "carcinogens contained in steamer paper" have attracted consumer attention.

Su Chunjuan, Senior Engineer of Testing InstitutionWe are simulating the usage environment of steamer paper, soaking it in 95% ethanol, and then placing it in an oven to simulate the high-temperature usage environment of steamer paper. Afterwards, we will test the residual evaporation (slag) value on the machine to see if there are any harmful substances remaining.

Evaporation residue value refers to the total amount of non-volatile substances that precipitate and migrate from paper to food at a specific high temperature. According to the test results, the evaporation residue values of all samples are within the range ofNo carcinogens were detected within the standard limit.

In addition, regarding whether there are carcinogens in air fryer paperAcrylamideRegarding the residual issue, testing personnel conducted tests on 7 samples of air fryer paper produced in a formal manner. The results showed that there were no residues of such substances.
