Food Additive SilicaOvercoming the Dilemma of Powder Ingredients

Nowadays, convenient and fast foods are becoming more and more popular. Powder ingredients are often used in food formulations due to their quick and instant dissolving properties. Since most of the powder particles are fine and easy to stick, and the powder particles have poor fluidity and are easy to agglomerate during storage, it is difficult to operate and correctly add materials, especially for materials that are prone to moisture, such as fruit powder and vegetable powder. , Flavors and spices, chili powder, etc.

The emergence of food additive silica has solved this problem. Silica is a new green, safe and healthy food additive. It has excellent physiological inertness, chemical stability, high fluidity, and high adsorption. It accumulates in the body, which makes silica a rising star in food additives.

  • The food additive silica makes powder feeding easier and more precise

    When powder raw materials such as chili powder, fruit powder or table salt are usually used in the production process, an automatic feeding system is used. It is very important to control the quality of food raw materials, stable and accurate addition amount. The poor fluidity of the powder will cause fluctuations in the feeding, and the final product quality will not be satisfactory. As a manufacturer of powder raw materials, you can help your customers make feeding easier. Zhongqi silica can improve the fluidity of your products. Silica is used as a flow aid to coat the surface of the powder raw materials to separate their particles. Another advantage is their high absorption capacity, which can absorb moisture or grease on the surface of the particles, greatly reducing the adhesion of the particles.

  • The spray drying effect of food additive silica

    Many food ingredients are processed by spray drying. Such as vegetable powder, vegetable extract, whey powder, egg powder, or non-dairy creamer. During the production process, the spray-dried inner wall may cause agglomeration, which requires frequent cleaning. If Zhongqi silica is added separately from the slurry in the spray tower, it will reduce the agglomeration problem and shorten the number of stoppages. Moreover, the silica is directly added to the spray tower, which can eliminate the subsequent mixing steps and increase the output. This is the most efficient way to use silica as a flow aid and anti-caking agent.

  • Food additive silica solves the problem of caking

    As a raw material manufacturer, you have to transport your products around the world and store them under different climatic conditions. Changes in temperature and humidity during transportation and storage can cause agglomeration of products, which makes it difficult for your customers to process them.

    The addition of Zhongqi silica can effectively avoid powder agglomeration, allowing your products to have stable quality regardless of any part of the world.
