Product Description
Anticaking agent is a powdered or granulated material that is added to bakery premixes, cake premixes, and other powdered or granulated materials to avoid lump formation (caking) and to make packing, transportation, flowability, and consumption easier. Because moisture causes the majority of product caking or formation of lumps , anti-caking chemicals either absorb moisture or serve as a sealant, repelling water and oil.
Reliable Quality and PurityThis anticaking agent meets stringent international food safety standards, offering a food or industrial grade product with 99% purity and no detectable heavy metals. Its chemical composition features silicon dioxide and allied compounds, designed for maximum product safety and regulatory compliance. The powder is non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive applications in food and other industries.
Enhanced Flow and Storage StabilityEngineered to keep powders free-flowing and lump-free, this agent is effective in challenging humidity or storage conditions. Its low loss on drying (<5%) and stable pH range (5.5-7.5) help maintain product quality throughout distribution and storage. Properly stored in cool, dry, and tightly sealed containers, it retains its efficacy for 24 months without caking or degradation.
Wide Spectrum of ApplicationsTrusted by manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers across India, this anticaking agent finds applications in food processing, animal nutrition, detergents, fertilizers, and specialty chemicals. Its fine particle size (5-15 microns) integrates seamlessly into industrial workflows, enhancing the quality and consumer acceptance of finished products.
FAQ's of Anticaking agent:
Q: How is this anticaking agent used in powdered products?
A: The anticaking agent is typically incorporated during the manufacturing or blending process. It is mixed with powdered ingredients to inhibit moisture absorption and particle clumping, ensuring smooth flow and uniform dosing during packaging or further processing.
Q: What benefits does this anticaking agent offer to manufacturers?
A: By preventing lumps and enhancing powder flow, this agent improves production efficiency, packaging speed, and final product consistency. It also prolongs shelf life by protecting products from humidity or moisture-related spoilage.
Q: When should this anticaking agent be added during production?
A: It is recommended to add the anticaking agent early in the mixing or blending phase of production, allowing it to evenly disperse and shield all powder particles from caking throughout transport and storage.
Q: Where is this anticaking agent commonly applied?
A: This product is widely used in food processing (spices, premixes), fertilizers, animal feed, detergent powders, and other technical powder applications that require free-flowing, lump-free characteristics.
Q: What are the storage and handling guidelines for this anticaking agent?
A: For optimal stability and safety, store the powder in a dry, cool environment, ensuring containers are tightly sealed. This preserves its anti-caking efficiency and prevents contamination or degradation, supporting a shelf life of up to 24 months.
Q: Is this anticaking agent safe for food and environmentally compliant?
A: Yes, it is free from heavy metals, non-toxic, and meets JECFA and EC directives for food use within recommended dosage limits. The agent poses no environmental hazard under normal use, making it suitable for sensitive and eco-conscious applications.
