Food Grade Silica: The Trusted Quality Guardian of EQUAL Sweeteners
Food grade silica (E551) is a core functional ingredient for classic powdered EQUAL sweeteners and a vital raw material widely used in the global powdered sweetener sector.
The classic blue-pack powdered products manufactured at EQUAL’s Thailand plant adopt food-grade amorphous silica. It thoroughly resolves the problems of moisture absorption, caking and poor flowability of sweetener powder. It guarantees precise batching and smooth operation during mass production. Even after global shipment and storage under diverse temperature and humidity conditions, the powder remains loose and easy to scoop, well suited for daily drinks and cooking.
This material fully complies with GB 2760, EU E551, FDA and other major global food standards. Its addition rate in EQUAL sweeteners is 0.5%~2%, far below the official safety limit. With stable chemical properties, it is not absorbed by the digestive tract nor involved in human metabolism, leaving no residues. It never compromises the low-calorie and sugar-free properties of sweeteners, meeting the health demands of sugar-conscious people and diabetic patients, and matching EQUAL’s premium positioning.
Top global powdered sweetener brands like Splenda and Canderel, as well as domestic enterprises including Hegan and Sanyuan Bio, also use food grade silica to secure product quality.
Our silica fully meets EQUAL-grade requirements. Available in fumed and precipitated grades, it has a particle size of 5-20 μm and specific surface area of 150-300 m²/g, blending well with all sweetener formulas without altering the original flavor. Featuring purity ≥99% and heavy metal content far below national standards, it gains wide access to global markets. It fits perfectly into existing production processes and provides long-lasting anti-caking effects.
As an invisible defender of quality, food grade silica lays a solid foundation for high-end sweeteners and keeps delivering pure, healthy sweetness all the time.
