Full Products Details
Silicon Dioxide, also referred to as silica, is a naturally occurring compound found in the earth's crust, widely utilized in the food industry for its anti-caking properties. This essential ingredient is renowned for its ability to prevent clumping in powdered and granulated products, ensuring they remain free-flowing and easy to handle. While it does not impart any flavor, its functional attributes are crucial for maintaining the quality and consistency of various food items. Silicon Dioxide is a critical component for commercial food manufacturers, R&D teams, and culinary professionals, offering a vegan, kosher, and gluten-free solution for product formulation.
Applications: Silicon Dioxide is extensively used in food applications, particularly in powdered products like spices, seasonings, and baking mixes, where it prevents clumping and ensures even distribution. In the beverage industry, it maintains flowability in powdered drink mixes. Additionally, it is employed in the production of sauces and gravies to prevent lumping and ensure a smooth texture. Its utility extends to the pharmaceutical industry, where it aids in tablet manufacturing by improving the flow of powder blends.
Storage: To maintain the freshness and potency of Silicon Dioxide, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
