PRODUCT DETAILS

Silica for Edible Oil is a food-grade silica specially developed for the processing of edible oils, coded as 02.002 in China GB 2760 and INS E551 internationally. Manufactured via a high-purity precipitation process, it strictly complies with standards such as GB 25576-2020, FDA 21 CFR, USP and FCC.

As a white fluffy powder, it features core properties of a high specific surface area and selective adsorption. It can efficiently adsorb trace impurities, colloids, pigments, free fatty acids and odorous substances in edible oils without adsorbing effective oil components or introducing harmful substances. Its heavy metal residues are far below international limits. After treatment, edible oils have high clarity, pure flavor and improved stability. It is an excellent auxiliary for the refining and processing of various edible oils such as peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil and blended oil.

2. Product Applications

Designed exclusively for the refining and processing of edible oils, Silica for Edible Oil achieves three core functions of impurity removal, decolorization and deodorization in oil processing by virtue of its selective porous adsorption structure. It is suitable for the refining process of various edible oils without affecting key indicators such as acid value and peroxide value of oils. Specific applications are as follows:

  1. Vegetable oil refining: Applied in the physical refining of vegetable oils such as peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and corn oil to adsorb colloids, trace pigments and free fatty acids, improve oil clarity and remove raw oil taste and peculiar smell.
  1. High-end oil purification: Applied in the purification of high-end edible oils such as olive oil, camellia seed oil and walnut oil to adsorb trace impurities and pigments, retain the original nutrition and flavor of oils and improve product quality.
  1. Blended oil stabilization: Adsorbs free water and trace impurities in blended oil, optimizes oil stability, extends the shelf life of blended oil and avoids turbidity and precipitation during storage.
  1. Fried oil regeneration: A small amount is added to waste fried oil to adsorb polymers and impurities generated during frying, improve the reuse efficiency of fried oil and reduce production costs.

The product can be removed through conventional filtration processes after addition with no residue, and the treated edible oil complies with national food safety standards and edible vegetable oil quality grade standards.

3. Factory Strengths

  1. Oil industry-exclusive formulations: We focus on the R&D of edible oil processing auxiliaries, optimize the adsorption structure according to the characteristics of different oils to achieve selective adsorption, and the efficiency of impurity and decolorization is far superior to general-purpose silica.
  1. Professional application testing: Equipped with an edible oil refining laboratory, we can conduct small-scale tests according to customers' oil categories and refining processes, optimize the addition ratio and usage method, and provide customized solutions.
  1. Full-process quality control: Establish an exclusive inspection process for edible oil-special silica to accurately detect adsorption capacity, heavy metals and purity, ensuring the product meets the high requirements of oil processing.
  1. Guaranteed large-scale production capacity: A 10,000-ton intelligent production line can meet the large-batch and continuous procurement needs of edible oil processing enterprises with stable delivery cycles and high batch consistency.
  1. Technical support team: We have a professional technical team for oil processing, which can provide on-site technical guidance for customers and solve various problems during product use.

4. Packaging & Shipment

  1. Standard packaging: 20/25kg composite film valve port woven bags with an inner PE sealing film and an outer waterproof and wear-resistant woven layer for double moisture proofing to avoid product moisture absorption and affect adsorption performance.
  1. Custom packaging: Support customers to customize packaging specifications and print brand shipping marks to meet the needs of enterprise brand identification and production management.
  1. Storage and transportation requirements: Store in a cool, dry, ventilated and dark environment to avoid rain, high temperature and humidity. Non-hazardous chemicals; road, railway and sea transportation are supported with no special requirements for the transportation process.
  1. Labeling specifications: Each package is marked with statutory information such as product name, specification, net content, production batch number, shelf life, food additive mark and production license number, attached with product instructions.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will the product affect the nutritional components of edible oil?

A: No. The product adopts selective adsorption, only adsorbing harmful substances such as impurities, colloids and pigments in oils, without adsorbing nutritional components such as unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E in oils, thus retaining the original nutrition of edible oils.

Q: How to determine the dosage of the product in edible oil?

A: The dosage depends on the oil category, impurity content and refining requirements, generally 0.1%-0.8% of the oil volume. Our technical team can conduct small-scale tests according to customers' oil samples to determine the optimal addition ratio.

Q: How to filter and remove the product after use?

A: As a solid powder, the product remains in a solid state after adsorbing impurities and can be removed through conventional filtration processes in edible oil processing (such as plate and frame filtration, cloth bag filtration) with no silica residue in the filtered oil.

Q: Is the product suitable for low-temperature refining processes?

A: Yes. The product has stable adsorption performance in the temperature range of normal temperature to 120℃, and can be adapted to various processes such as low-temperature physical refining and high-temperature chemical refining of edible oils.
