Food grade antifoams are chemical additives that lowers and hampers the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. During food processing, food grade antifoams basically prevents foam from forming. Food grade antifoams are usually insoluble in the foaming medium and have active surface properties.
Facility for rapid spreading on foamy surface and low viscosity are the essential features of food grade antifoams. Proteins in foam are the most active ingredients present, which contribute to its formation and are responsible for its stable character. In many food and beverage industries, high-grade antifoam is used to avoid foam formation.
The foam creates defects on the food surface when it is being processed, which can be prevented by the use of food grade antifoams. Foam occupies much of the container storing product when filling the food items or beverages in containers. Food manufacturers began the use of food grade antifoams to combat this issue.
