Silica Gel for Edible Oil Clarification
Classification :
Adsorbent Silicon Dioxide
Keywords :
Silica Gel for Edible Oil Clarification
PRODUCT DETAILS
This is a food-grade high-activity silica gel exclusively for clarification, with INS E551. It is a white ultrafine powder, odorless and tasteless, prepared via a targeted adsorption process for suspended impurities. Compliant with FDA Food Contact Material Standards, EFSA E551 and EU 1333/2008 standards, it has a SiO₂ content of ≥99%. Its pore structure is optimized for the adsorption of suspended particles and gums in edible oil, with high clarification selectivity. It can rapidly improve oil clarity and light transmittance without affecting oil nutrition and flavor, and is suitable for crude oil pretreatment and finished oil clarification optimization of all edible oils worldwide.

2. Application Description
Its core advantage is precision oil clarification. It can efficiently adsorb suspended impurities, tiny mechanical particles, gum flocs and trace hydrophilic impurities in soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, peanut oil, animal fat and other edible oils, rapidly improving oil clarity and light transmittance to achieve a clear color with no turbidity or precipitation. It does not adsorb beneficial components such as vitamins and sterols in oil, nor alter the flavor and physicochemical properties of oil products.
Suitable for primary clarification of edible crude oil, appearance optimization of finished oil and light transmittance enhancement of high-end edible oil, it can replace traditional clarification additives, reduce oil loss, and comply with global environmental standards for edible oil clarification.
3. Factory Advantages
We master the specialized production technology for clarification silica gel, and are equipped with professional oil light transmittance testers and particle size analyzers, with a precise clarification performance control system established. Our GMP food-grade production workshops have obtained ISO22000 and FDA certifications, with stable mass production capacity to meet the global large-scale edible oil clarification demand. We support customized product parameters according to the turbidity of different oils, and provide optimized clarification process guidance and light transmittance improvement solutions.
4. Shipping & Packaging
- Standard Packaging: 20/25kg paper-plastic composite bags with built-in moisture-proof desiccants to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration that may impair clarification effects.
- Storage & Transportation Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, sealed and dark place, avoid high temperature and humidity. Non-hazardous chemical, available for global sea and land freight.
- Labeling Norms: Clearly marked with clarification-specific attribute, clarification improvement rate and dosage limit. Multilingual labels and oil clarification effect test reports can be affixed as required by international customers.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the edible oil become turbid again during storage after clarification with this product?
A: No. This product adsorbs the root causes of oil turbidity (suspended impurities and gums), improving the storage stability of clarified oil. No secondary turbidity will occur under conventional storage conditions, complying with international edible oil storage and clarification standards.
Q: Is it suitable for the clarification of high-viscosity edible oils such as palm oil?
A: Yes. The product’s dispersibility and adsorption pores are optimized for high-viscosity edible oils, enabling rapid dispersion and impurity adsorption in high-viscosity systems with remarkable clarification effects. It does not increase oil viscosity nor affect subsequent processing.
