| CAB-O-SIL EH-5F food-grade silicas are high-purity materials that can act as carriers, flavor masking, anti-settling, thickening, anti-caking, and fat substitution additives in food applications. CAB-O-SIL EH-5F food-grade fumed silicas are characterized by: - High purity, food-grade silica quality
- Tasteless, colorless, odorless
- Hydrophilic surface
- Low bulk density
Application Information:
Carrier, Flavor Masking Agent: CAB-O-SIL food-grade fumed silicas 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 food-grade fumed silicas can encapsulate volatile compounds, such as flavors, reducing evaporation rates.
Spray Drying Aid: CAB-O-SIL food-grade fumed silicas 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 food-grade fumed silicas can promote the substitution of fat contained in foods by: a) facilitating a more homogeneous lipid distribution to enhance the fat’s effectiveness; and b) acting as an effective stabilizer of Pickering emulsions that replace fat fractions.
Thickening, Anti-Settling, and Emulsification: CAB-O-SIL food-grade fumed silicas are effective thickening, emulsification, gelling, and anti-settling agents with low sensitivity to temperature and pH.
Free Flow, Transparency, and Storage Stability: CAB-O-SIL food-grade fumed silicas act 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 |
