Our food-grade precipitated Silica is a white, fluffy powder with carefully controlled particle size distribution and high surface area -6. This unique combination of properties makes it particularly effective in numerous food applications:
Superior anti-caking performance: Prevents clumping in powder products, ensuring free-flowing characteristics even under humid conditions -
Excellent adsorption capacity: Acts as a carrier for flavors and fragrances while maintaining their stability and quality
Optical properties: Maintains product appearance with high transparency in various applications -
Thermal stability: Withstands high processing temperatures without compromising functionality -
Our precipitated silica serves as an effective anti-caking agent in various powdered food products including:
Dairy powders (milk powder, protein powders)
Cocoa and chocolate powders -
Powdered flavors and fragrances -
Instant beverage mixes
Spices and seasoning blends
Beyond its role as an anti-caking agent, our precipitated silica functions as:
Stabilizers and viscosity control agents in various food systems
Defoaming agents during food processing operations
Carriers for sensitive ingredients
Clarifying agents in beverages and other liquid foods -
The safety of food ingredients is paramount in our manufacturing process. Our precipitated silica complies with global food safety standards:
Meets FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) standards -
Complies with 21 CFR 172.480 regulations
Suitable for use in global markets, including the United States (up to 2% by weight) and European markets (up to 5% by weight)
Extensive toxicological studies have confirmed the safety of amorphous silica for food applications, with no significant intestinal absorption observed in animals or humans -
