Keywords :
Silica Gel for Edible Oil Degumming
PRODUCT DETAILS
This is food-grade high-activity silica gel specially for edible oil degumming, with the international food additive code INS E551. It is white porous powder, odorless and tasteless, manufactured via targeted pore structure design technology. Complying with FDA GRAS, EFSA E551 and EU 1333/2008 standards, it has a silica (SiO₂) content of ≥99%. Boasting strong specific adsorption capacity for phospholipids, it can efficiently complete the degumming treatment of edible oils, suitable for refined degumming scenarios of edible oils worldwide, and has a leading degumming efficiency in the industry.

2. Application Description
Its core function is specific degumming. It can efficiently adsorb phospholipids (hydrated phospholipids and non-hydrated phospholipids) in edible oils without the need to add additional chemical reagents. After degumming, the phospholipid content of oil products is ≤5mg/kg, complying with the edible oil degumming standards of the EU and North America. This product is suitable for the refined degumming of various vegetable oils such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil and peanut oil. It can simplify the degumming process, shorten the processing cycle, reduce the production cost of enterprises, and improve the efficiency of subsequent refining processes.
3. Factory Advantages
Our enterprise owns a special R&D technology for degumming silica gel, equipped with high-precision detection equipment for phospholipid content and an established strict degumming performance control system. We have a GMP standard production base and have passed ISO22000 and FSSC22000 international food safety certifications. Our products are exported to more than 55 countries, and we have rich experience in customizing degumming solutions for large-scale global edible oil refining enterprises. The delivery time is 5-8 days, and we provide full-process guidance for degumming processes.
4. Shipment & Packaging
- Standard Packaging: 20/25kg paper-plastic composite bags with food-grade desiccant inside for double moisture protection, preventing moisture absorption that may reduce degumming activity.
- Storage & Transportation Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, sealed and light-proof environment with the temperature controlled at 5-30℃. This product is a non-hazardous chemical, supporting global sea and air transportation.
- Labeling Norms: Clearly mark the degumming-specialized property, degumming rate and dosage limit. Multilingual labels and phospholipid test reports can be affixed as per the requirements of international customers.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can this product remove non-hydrated phospholipids?
A: Yes. The product has a strong adsorption capacity for both hydrated and non-hydrated phospholipids with a degumming rate of ≥99.3%, without the need for additional pretreatment processes, and is suitable for the degumming of various edible oils.
Q: Will degumming affect the subsequent refining processes of oil products?
A: No. There is no residue or secondary pollution after degumming, which can significantly improve the efficiency of subsequent decolorization and deodorization processes and reduce the consumption of subsequent raw materials.
