1. What is soy product defoamer?
Soy product defoamer refers to the food defoamer added during the production of soy products and is a composite defoamer. , is specially designed for defoaming in the food processing industry. It has the advantages of not affecting the taste of the product, rapid defoaming, long-lasting foam suppression, and defoaming efficiency of up to 96%-98%.
During the production process of soy products, the reason why defoaming agents are added is because soybeans contain a natural saponin, which will cause a large amount of foam to appear in the soy products during the production process. Tofu itself contains a lot of protein, which makes it easier for the foam to stabilize and not dissipate for a long time; these foams will affect the taste of soy products. In the past, the traditional method was “skimming”, but this was too inefficient. In the industrial era, In order to ensure the quality of soy products and reduce the difficulty of making soy products, many manufacturers add defoaming agents during the grinding process.
2. Is the defoaming agent for soy products an additive?
Yes.
In the production process of soy products, it is allowed to add an appropriate amount of food defoaming agent. This type of food additive is generally composed of food emulsifiers, calcium carbonate, phospholipids, etc., and is mainly allowed to be used in food. Defoaming agents generally include triethanolamine stearate, stearyl stearate and aluminum stearate compounds.
3. What is the standard dosage of defoaming agent for soy products? How much
In the process of making soy products, in order to reduce foam To increase the yield and quality of soy products, compound soy product defoamer is generally used now. However, it should be noted that as a food additive, the dosage of soy product defoamer is regulated.
According to my country’s “Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives”, during the production process of soy products, the amount of defoaming agent added shall not exceed 1.6g/kg.
