Borax, chemical name borax, is the sodium salt of boric acid. Borax is commonly used in detergents and water softeners. Borax dissolves in water to form a clear, odorless substance with mild antiseptic properties. Borax slows down the decomposition of food, keeping meat and fish fresh longer and making foods such as vermicelli, pho noodles, banh duc, banh cuon, banh da, jelly, xu xe, ham, cha and many other foods become crispy and chewy. Borax is a toxin that causes chronic poisoning, affects the liver and kidneys, causing loss of appetite and physical weakness; it is banned from use in food production in Vietnam. |
