Food additive defoaming agent
Food fermentation defoaming agent is a chemical substance that can reduce the amount of bubbles in food. It is usually used in the production process of carbonated drinks, beer, bread, biscuits, cakes and other foods.
Food fermentation defoaming agents are popular because they can improve production efficiency and save costs.
Food defoaming agents mainly include the following types:
Medium-temperature high-efficiency silicone defoaming agents, high-carbon alcohol fatty acid ester defoaming agents, fermentation silicone defoaming agents, and polyether defoaming agents are all food defoaming agents. Defoaming agents commonly used in the food industry are Grease and aliphatic compounds; as well as emulsified silicone oil, silicone defoamer mainly composed of methylpolysiloxane (silicone oil)!
Defoaming agents are safe for the human body at a certain concentration. However, excessive accumulation and long-term exposure may cause certain potential hazards. The following are possible injuries:
1. Digestive system problems: Ingesting large amounts of foods and beverages containing defoaming agents for a long time may cause digestive system problems, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc.
2. Allergic reaction: A small number of people may be allergic to defoaming agents, causing allergic reactions such as rash, difficulty breathing, headache, etc.
3. Nervous system damage: Certain defoaming agent ingredients can affect the nervous system, causing headaches, dizziness, insomnia and other problems.
4. Cytotoxicity: Studies have shown that some defoaming agents may be toxic to cells, including effects on heart cells, liver cells, etc.
