Food Grade Antifoam Market

Market Outlook of Food Grade Antifoam:

In food and beverage industry, foam serves as a stabilizing and a gelling agent. Foam is present in many forms such as mousse, whipped cream and others. In foam, proteins are the most active ingredients present which helps in the formation of it and are also responsible for its stable nature. In order to produce foam, a foaming agent is added to the food. There are certain disadvantages of foaming in the food and beverage industry such as shorter shelf life of the food, inhibiting the food manufacturing process and others. In order to overcome the problem faced due to the formation of foam, the food manufacturers started using the food grade antifoam. Food grade antifoam are used in many food and beverage industries in order to prevent the formation of foam. The foam cause defects on the surface of the food while processing it, which will be avoided by the usage of food grade antifoam. While filling the food products or beverages in containers, foam occupies most of the container containing product. In order to counter this problem, food manufacturers started the usage of food grade antifoam. There are various chemical formulas to prepare food grade antifoam in order to prevent the formation of foam.
