Product highlights: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica is a high-purity material that can act as a carrier as well as a flavor masking, anti-settling, thickening, anti-caking, and fat substitution additive in food applications. CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica has the following characteristics: - High purity, food-grade silica quality
- Tasteless, colorless and odorless
- Hydrophilic surface
- Low bulk density
Key applications:
Carrier, flavor masking agent: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica adsorb liquids to produce dry powders that can be easily mixed with other solid ingredients. At higher concentrations, these grades can act as flavor masking agents.
Microencapsulation: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica can encapsulate volatile compounds, such as flavors, reducing evaporation rates.
Spray drying aid: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica can reduce clogs in the spray dryer atomizer, deliver higher powder recovery, and increase throughput by facilitating lower spray dryer outlet temperatures.
Lipid substitution: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica can promote the substitution of fat contained in foods by facilitating a more homogeneous lipid distributors to enhance the fat’s effectiveness and acting as an effective stabilizer of Pickering emulations that replace fat fractions.
Thickening, anti-settling and emulsification: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica is an effective thickening, emulsification, gelling, and anti-settling agent with low sensitivity to temperature and pH.
Free flow, transparency and storage stability: CAB-O-SIL M-5F food-grade fumed silica acts as a spacer and moisture adsorbent, reducing lump formation and crystallization to facilitate free flow, exact dosing, and storage stability.Information provided by Cabot Corporation |
