Baking Upgrading: Large-Scale Application of Silica in Anti-Caking and Quality Preservation

Food-grade silica delivers a multi-dimensional quality solution for the baking industry.


Food-grade silica delivers a multi-dimensional quality solution for the baking industry. The addition of 0.3% to flour effectively prevents moisture absorption and caking, and boosts flowability by 40%. When applied in biscuit production, it reduces oil precipitation and extends shelf life by 3 months. Added to cake mix powder, it improves whipping stability and endows finished products with a finer texture.
Shandong Zhonglian’s baking-specific silica features a specific surface area of 250 m²/g. It can precisely absorb excess moisture without interfering with dough fermentation. The product complies with national standards and FDA food contact regulations, and is tailored for large-scale production of leading brands including Dali Garden and Taoli. Its application coverage exceeds 60% in fried and baked food categories.
