    Introduction: Food defoamer is a common food additive in our food processing What are the functions of food defoamers? Can defoamers be used? A brief introduction is given to you Defoamer is a substance to reduce the surface tension and eliminate foam in food processing Most of the bubbles are produced by external forces The surface active substances in the solution are formed at the junction of solution and air, forming bubbles and floating up In the process of food processing, such as fermentation, agitation, boiling, concentration and so on, a large number of bubbles can be produced, which affects the normal operation, and must be eliminated or prevented in time Defoamers can be roughly divided into two categories: one can eliminate the generated bubbles, such as ethanol; the other can inhibit the formation of bubbles, such as emulsified silicone oil There are six defoamers permitted in China, including emulsified silicone oil, high carbon alcohol fatty acid ester complex, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene pentaerythritol ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropanol amine ether, polyoxypropylene glycerin ether and polyoxypropylene oxyethylene glycerin ether What are the functions of food defoamer? According to the introduction of the safety net, the defoamer has the advantages of fast defoaming speed, long inhibiting time and good dispersing effect It has stable physical and chemical properties, does not react with the substances in the foaming system, does not affect the product quality, can improve the fermentation unit of fermentation microorganism, promote the growth of mycelium, shorten the fermentation cycle, and is beneficial to improve the yield; At the same time, the product can automatically restore the emulsion state after being sterilized by high temperature, and will not affect the performance due to the separation and stratification of oil and water in the tank Under the condition of proper usage, it can satisfy the requirements of foam control in the whole fermentation period, and do not need to add foam products It is the best defoamer for the fermentation of the strain which is sensitive to the enemy's toxicity Defoamer can be eaten? Defoamer is applied to remove harmful foam produced in latex, textile sizing, food fermentation, biological medicine, pesticide, coating, petrochemical industry, paper making, industrial cleaning and other industries In the food industry, food defoamer is edible, because it is used to eliminate harmful foam in food, and the effect is very good We need to know more about the use of defoamers, which will help us learn more about food additives and food safety You can also use the food safety detector to detect whether there are harmful substances in food Editor in charge: he xianrob
