Zhongqi Guangdong Silicon Material Co., Ltd. specializes in developing non-yellowing food-grade silica dioxide, specifically designed to address the critical challenge of "color discoloration from anti-caking agents affecting both appearance and safety" in food processing. This product effectively prevents color changes caused by ethyl maltol's reaction with iron ions, achieved through ultra-low heavy metal content and rigorous process control. Certified to GB 25576-2010 and FDA 21 CFR standards, its core features include: -UV/heat-resistant properties (no yellowing or fading) -High purity with low heavy metals-Enhanced anti-caking performance (40%+ improved flowability) -Customizable particle size (2-50μm) -GMP-certified manufacturing facility-Pre-sales sampling + post-sales technical support-Serving baking, confectionery, and other food industries with export markets in Southeast Asia/Europe and America.

Product details

Zhongqi guarantees the "non-color change" performance through special R&D and production system, especially for the heavy metal control needs of foods containing ethyl maltol;

Application

This product is deeply adapted to many types of food fields with high requirements for "color change", especially focusing on flavorings and fragrances containing ethyl maltol. Typical cases are as follows:

-Fragrance and Flavor Industry: A leading domestic fragrance manufacturer successfully addressed a critical challenge —— its ethyl maltol powder fragrant product. Conventional anti-caking agents caused discoloration and discoloration, compromising product quality and customer satisfaction. With our solution, the product maintains pristine whiteness during long-term storage due to its ultra-low heavy metal content and non-reactive nature with ethyl maltol. This improvement reduced customer complaints from 8% to zero and boosted repurchase rates by 30%.

-Baking Industry: Customized 2-10μm particle size products for a leading domestic premix manufacturer, effectively addressing post-baking yellowing issues with their pure white cake premix powder (180℃) and color deepening problems during 2-month transparent bag storage. Post-application, baked goods maintain pristine whiteness with no discoloration observed after 3 months of storage. Complaint rates decreased below 0.5%, while repurchase rates increased by 25%.

-Candy industry: Served a foreign-funded milk candy enterprise to solve the problem of yellowing edges of milk candies under transparent sugar paper packaging when boiling 120℃ of sugar; adding 0.5% kept the milk candies white, without discoloration after 6 months of storage, improved the attractiveness of supermarket display, and increased sales by 18% year-on-year.

-Other fields: Suitable for high-end meal powder and infant food powder, helping a certain complementary food enterprise to pass the EU CE certification of pure white rice powder, and enter the European market with strict requirements on food appearance.

Furthermore, adding 0.3%-0.8% can reduce the angle of repose for powdered substitutes, seasonings, and flavorings from 45° to below 30°, while improving flowability by over 40%. This formulation demonstrates excellent anti-caking properties and strong compatibility with food components (including ethyl maltol, proteins, and carbohydrates), maintaining original taste and flavor. It effectively meets the dual requirements of premium foods that balance functionality and visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the addition of anti-caking agent silica affect the taste of food?

A: No. The product particle size is small and the addition amount is very low (≤2%), which can be completely dispersed in the mouth without producing a sense of sand.

Q: Does it meet halal/Jewish food requirements?

A: Yes, the products are halal and OU KOSHER certified, and no animal source ingredients are used in the production process.

Q: How to determine the best addition ratio?

A: The technical team can provide guidance based on product characteristics and rich downstream application experience, and can also determine the optimal dosage and optimize the formula by accelerating the lumping experiment.
