Food-Grade Silica Dioxide Adsorbent: Intro, Application & Specs
Routine dosage: 0.2%-0.5% of total formula. Note: Conduct pre-use tests to confirm the optimal dosage based on actual formula, oil type, gel content and compound ratio.
Food-grade silica dioxide adsorbent (also called dephosphorization agent), compliant with GB 25576-2020, is a stable food additive. It adsorbs impurities like phospholipids, saponins and trace metals in edible oils, polyphenols & proteins in beer, and foreign matter in fruit juices; improves powder fluidity and anti-caking performance, and boosts decolorization efficiency when compounded with activated clay/diatomite while cutting crude oil loss. It enables water-free degumming, reducing waste discharge with dust-free operation. Recommended addition: 0.2%-0.5%, to be used at 60-110℃ with 60-90 minutes of stirring and subsequent filtration. Stored in dry, ventilated cool conditions, shelf life ≤24 months. Widely applied in animal/vegetable oil refining, beer brewing, and fruit juice & beverage processing.
Core Functions
① Adsorption of target impurities in oils, beer and beverages; ② Enhanced powder fluidity and product stability/clarity; ③ Synergistic decolorization with clay/diatomite, extended oil shelf life; ④ Water-free degumming, eco-friendly and dust-free.
Application Method
Control temperature at 60-110℃, add at 0.2%-0.5% (compound with clay for decolorization); stir with the target product for 60-90 minutes, then filter to remove impurities and the adsorbent.
Application Scope
Animal/vegetable oil refining (degumming, dephosphorization, desaponification), beer brewing (clarity and stability improvement), fruit juice & beverage processing (impurity removal, flavor and color optimization).
Performance Advantages
Excellent adsorption for polar impurities; concentrated particle size, strong filtration and permeability; reduced free fatty acids, improved oil color and product consistency; good powder compatibility (anti-caking); water-free degumming, eco-friendly and energy-saving.
