Effective foam management is a critical factor for success in numerous food production processes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides a comprehensive range of antifoam solutions, and this guide aims to assist manufacturers in making informed choices and optimizing their usage of these vital additives.

The first step in selecting an antifoam is to understand the specific requirements of the production process. Consider the nature of the ingredients, the temperature and pH ranges, and the potential for interaction with other additives. For instance, a food grade antifoam for sugar processing will need to withstand high temperatures and sugar concentrations, while a defoamer used in a dairy application might require different characteristics. The choice between silicone-based defoamers, vegetable oil-based, or other types depends heavily on these factors.

When it comes to how to use antifoam in food production, precision is key. Antifoams are typically effective at very low concentrations, often in the range of 0.1% to 0.5%. Over-application can lead to undesirable effects on the product's texture, taste, or appearance. It's essential to follow manufacturer recommendations and conduct pilot tests to determine the optimal dosage for your specific application. Proper dispersion is also important; some products may require gentle stirring before use, as is often the case for silicone based defoamer for food industry products.

Regulatory compliance and specific certifications are non-negotiable in the food industry. Manufacturers must ensure that the antifoams they choose meet all relevant national and international standards, such as those outlined in GB 30612-2014. For companies targeting niche markets, obtaining or using products with certifications like KOSHER or HALAL is paramount. For example, sourcing a halal certified defoamer for jelly or a kosher certified defoamer for drinks expands market access and consumer trust. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing compliant and certified solutions.

Whether you are producing beverages, jams, or utilizing an antifoam agent for concentrated juice powder, selecting the right partner is crucial.
