3. Application Description

The product is mainly used as a carrier and dispersant for food additives, suitable for various food additives worldwide to help them exert the optimal performance:

  1. Carrier for essence and pigment: Adsorb liquid essence and pigment and convert them into powder form for easy addition and mixing, preventing essence volatilization and pigment agglomeration;
  1. Dispersion of nutritional additives: Help nutritional additives such as vitamins, minerals and probiotics disperse uniformly in food base materials to avoid excessive local concentration;
  1. Supporting for preservatives and antioxidants: Improve the dispersibility of preservatives and antioxidants, extend their action time, and adapt to various compound systems of food additives.

4. Factory Advantages

We focus on the supporting field of food additives, meet the compounding needs of global food additives, and create products with high adsorption and dispersion performance:

  1. Adopt a high adsorptive preparation process, precisely control the pore size distribution, improve the adsorption capacity and comply with global carrier standards for additives;
  1. Equipped with special testing equipment for adsorption performance, control the adsorption and dispersion performance of products throughout the process to ensure adaptability to various food additives;
  1. Can customize adsorption performance parameters according to different types of additives to adapt to the supporting needs of various additives such as essence, nutritional agents and preservatives.

5. Shipment & Packaging

  • Standard Packaging: 5/10/20kg vacuum-sealed bag, moisture-proof and prevent performance degradation caused by moisture;
  • Storage and Transportation Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, sealed and dark place, avoid moisture absorption and contact with peculiar smell; Support global air, sea and land transportation;
  • Label Norms: Mark carrier attributes of additives, adsorption capacity and addition limits, provide customizable multilingual labels in line with international additive industry norms.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of food additives is the product suitable for?

A: It is suitable for various food additives worldwide, including essence, pigment, vitamins, probiotics, preservatives, etc., and the adaptation parameters can be adjusted according to the characteristics of additives.

Q: Will the performance of additives be affected after adsorbing food additives?
