The invention relates to a stabilizing agent capable of realizing degradation,
detoxication and harmless treatment of
heavy metals in food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines and a preparation method thereof. The stabilizing agent is prepared by mixing raw materials consisting of
phosphoric acid or
phosphate, a swelling agent, an acidity conditioning agent and
chloride. The stabilizing agent provided by the invention is applied to stewing, cooking or flavoring of food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines; i.e., before food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines enter the
stomach and intestine of a
human body, the stabilizing agent can degrade leaching
toxicity of
heavy metals in the food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines, i.e., reduction of the leaching and
dissolution quantities of the
heavy metals; even in an environment with acidity strength greater than the acidity strength of
gastric acid in the
human body or in an extremely abnormal environment such as
acid rain, the stabilizing agent allows heavy metals to form products hard to decompose and having inactive chemical properties in a 1N
hydrochloric acid solution, so the heavy metals are hard to absorb by the
human body and crops, thereby realizing harmlessness treatment; moreover, migration,
diffusion and conversion of the heavy metals in environment are reduced, so returning of heavy metals to food chains is prevented and reduced, and the
toxicity of heavy metals is lowered; and thus, the stabilizing agent has good application prospects.
