Evonik To Debut Its Food Grade Fumed Silica At IFT

PARSIPPANY, N.J.Evonik Corp. will debut its new anti-caking and flow aid that improves the production rates of powder food products at low use rates, AEROSIL® 200 F (food grade) fumed silica, at the IFT 2013 expo in Chicago.

In addition to high-sugar drink mixes like powdered juices, AEROSIL 200 F can be used in seasonings, spice mixes and non-dairy creamers. This fumed silica does not only function as a flow aid, but can improve the throughput of spray dried products. Also, its hydrophilic particles can help suppress dust. These fine, high-purity particles make AEROSIL 200 F both efficient and cost effective, especially at low use rates. Typical usage levels for dry mixes is less than 1% and use can be as low as .2% for certain applications.
