The concept of food grade carrier silica and its application

Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in many vitamin supplements sold on the market. Typically, silica is used as an anti-caking agent, which aids in the recovery of joints and cartilage damage, such as arthritis, when taken together with a well-balanced diet. In addition, it is also beneficial to the health of the blood vessel wall. Just like excessive consumption of multivitamins, excessive intake of silica can also cause side effects. However, as an anti-caking agent, the amount of silica used is very small. Therefore, silica as an anti-caking agent does not cause side effects.

Silica has excellent physical inertness, chemical stability, and does not aggregate in the body, so it is widely used in food, feed, and medicine. The application of food grade carrier silica in food can fundamentally solve the agglomeration formed by the product due to moisture absorption and pressure, and has strong adsorption effect, and is an excellent flow promoter.

Widely used in: chicken essence, milk powder, non-dairy cream, instant coffee, cocoa products, dehydrated egg products, powdered sugar, powdered soup, dehydrated vegetable powder, seasonings, etc. These products bring the following advantages:

1. Prevent agglomeration caused by storage and increase the free flow of powder;

2. Increase production speed and reduce production time;

3. Reduce the powder and avoid contamination of the production machine due to powder;

4. In the additives of milk, juice, beer, oatmeal and meat, it can play the role of preservation, antisepsis and mouthfeel;

5, in the feed additive as a carrier, anti-knotage and drainage.
