The application of silica in the food industry

Silicon dioxide has excellent properties such as non-toxic, harmless, stable, and large specific surface area, which is in line with the characteristics and requirements of food anti caking agents and adsorbents, and is more high-quality and efficient compared to existing products.

In the field of table salt, silica has both non-toxic properties and high resistance to binding, superior to potassium ferrocyanide and ammonium iron citrate. It can be used as a green and healthy anti binding agent in table salt products.

In the fields of beer, fruit juice, and other beverages, silica can coagulate turbid substances and has a clarifying effect. It can effectively remove turbid proteins from beer without affecting the quality of beer products. Moreover, the loss of beer during the entire processing process is extremely small, and compared to other filter aids, it has advantages such as less addition and better effects. As a new environmentally friendly adsorbent, it has been widely used in the beer industry.

In the field of edible oil, adding less silica can significantly reduce the use of activated clay, avoid too light color of edible oil, and not only obtain better quality sunflower seed oil, but also help enterprises save production costs.
