What are defoamers for food

Introduction: defoamer is a kind of product used in many industries, and it is not widely used in the food industry What are the defoamers? Can defoamer be used? Let's talk about them in the next part Food additives refer to "chemical synthesis or natural substances added into food to improve food quality, color, fragrance and taste, as well as to meet the needs of anticorrosion and processing technology"; meanwhile, it is stipulated that "natural or artificial synthetic food additives added into food to enhance nutritional components belong to the scope of natural nutrients" is called "nutritional fortifiers" Therefore, nutritional enhancers obviously belong to the category of food additives In the process of food processing and raw material processing, it is possible to use some auxiliary substances in order to make it go smoothly These substances have nothing to do with food itself, such as filter aid, clarification, lubrication, membrane removal, decolorization, peeling, extraction solvent and nutrient for fermentation, etc they should generally be removed from the finished food products rather than become the ingredients of the final food, or only remain This kind of substance is specially called food processing assistant What are the defoamers for food? Most defoamers are liquid compound products, mainly divided into three categories: mineral oil, organosilicon and polyether Middle temperature and high efficiency organosilicon defoamer, high-carbon alcohol fatty acid ester defoamer, fermentation organosilicon defoamer, polyether defoamer are all food defoamers At present, the defoamers commonly used in food industry are oil and aliphatic compounds; There is also emulsified silicone oil The silicone defoamer, which is mainly composed of methyl polysiloxane (silicone oil), is a milky white liquid emulsified by adding dispersant assistant Can defoamers be used? According to the small edition of Baibai safety net, the edible defoamer is the key defoamer promoted by China's food industry, which is a kind of edible defoamer specially used for food industry, especially under the background of strict control of silicon residue and prohibition of polyether defoamer in many countries, it has more application value; The consumption of defoamers does not affect the taste of food Defoamers in food are edible and harmless In the process of food processing, in order to ensure the quality of products, it is necessary to select appropriate food additives according to the characteristics of processed products Therefore, after food additives are used in food industry, they play the following important roles As a kind of food additive, the role of food defoamer can not be ignored We should correctly understand defoamer, understand and master food safety knowledge in view of more and more food safety problems It is very important to understand food additives In order to ensure food safety, we should also use more food safety detectors Editor in charge: he xianrob
