In the autumn and winter, many families' fruits are contracted by oranges, oranges and grapefruit. But did you know that oranges, oranges, if they touch the balloon, a little attention will cause an explosion?
Not long ago, the Zhejiang Yiwu Fire Rescue Detachment conducted an experiment, and the firefighters squeezed the orange peel out of the juice and dripped on the balloon, and the balloon exploded instantly.
Not only that, but the hand that had just peeled the orange touched the balloon, and the balloon also exploded.
Two types of things that are completely incompatible, together can actually rub out a "spark", what is going on?
"Life Times" (search for "LT0385" in WeChat can be followed) combined with experimental interview experts to interpret the principle of orange "detonating" balloons, reminding you to pay attention to the food around you that is at risk of explosion.

Why oranges can "detonate" balloons
What ingredients of oranges detonate balloons? Was it the juice on the orange peel that caused the balloon to explode, or the orange juice that caused it?
In order to catch the culprit who detonated the balloon, the firefighters did experiments with peel juice and juice respectively:
From experiments, it can be seen that the culprit of the balloon explosion is orange peel.
Six "brothers" such as grapefruit, lemon, and grapefruit came into battle in turn and repeated the same experiment.
Experts pointed out that the peel of orange fruits such as oranges and grapefruit contains aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, which are very soluble to rubber and can be dissolved in an instant.
The balloon is a rubber product, when the balloon is filled with a large amount of gas, itself is subject to a lot of pressure, if there is a corrosion thinner or broken, it will make the internal pressure uneven, resulting in an explosion.
Yiwu fire reminder: Balloon explosion is inextricably linked to the amount of juice, the thickness of rubber, and the balloon swelling.
It is not as long as the liquid splashes on the surface of the balloon to cause an explosion, but in fact it depends on whether the critical point of the balloon explosion is reached.
If the balloon is smaller and the rubber thickness is thicker, it may require more juice and even need to be applied before it explodes.
In addition to the fright, there may be more harm
In December 2016, there was a news report that a 1-year-old Wenzhou boy Xiaoxing was playing with balloons while eating oranges, and suddenly the balloon exploded in his right eye, causing Xiaoxing's eyeball to be directly exploded.
In addition to causing direct damage, the sound generated by the balloon explosion will also cause frightening children and even leave a fear of the balloon.
Expert reminder: When eating citrus fruits such as oranges, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, etc., do not go near the balloon.
After eating the fruit, the hand that has peeled the peel should rinse it with water and throw the peel into the trash to touch the balloon.
If there are children at home, when giving children citrus fruits, it is best not to play with balloons for children, so as not to suddenly burst and hurt children.
These foods also carry a risk of explosion
In addition to citrus fruits, there are many common foods that carry a risk of explosion:
passion fruit
In July this year, a package in a courier station in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, suddenly made a loud noise, and after inspection, it was found that a box of passion jam had exploded.
Passion fruit made into passion jam, relatively liquefied, with the conditions of microbial fermentation, when the microorganism caused fermentation to produce gas, the air pressure is too large more than the bottle body to bear, it will explode.
Therefore, after getting the passion fruit, you can put it in the refrigerator together with the packaging to reduce the internal gas pressure, and then open it is not easy to explode.
Drinks with air
In July, a boy in Shanghai was injured by a can of frozen carbonated drinks. The can pull ring scratched the face, penetrated the cheeks, and finally stitched 38 stitches.
When the carbonated drink is frozen, the water inside freezes and expands, and there is carbon dioxide in itself, there is pressure, and the sealed jar is "expanded" in an instant.
Generally, carbonated drinks will freeze below 0 ° C, so it is safer to refrigerate in the refrigerator, and do not put them in the freezer.
In addition to carbonated beverages, sealed bottles or canned beer, sparkling wine and other drinks may have similar dangers, it is recommended to put in an environment of about 0 ~ 25 ° C is safer.
yoghurt
In 2019, Mr. Tang, a milkman in Guangdong, was inspecting yogurt when he was injured in the eye by a bottle cap that suddenly exploded.
Some lactic acid bacteria are relatively stable, and fermentation only produces lactic acid, which is called positive lactic acid fermentation. In this case, there will be no explosion.
In addition to lactic acid, some lactic acid bacteria may also produce acetic acid, alcohol, carbon dioxide, etc., which are called special-shaped lactic acid fermentation.
If the yogurt is not properly stored, the lactic acid bacteria will be more active, thus producing a lot of gas, and when the carbon dioxide accumulates more and more, the container cannot hold up, and a slight collision will make it explode.
It is recommended that you eat the above food correctly and scientifically in your daily life to avoid accidents.
