In industry, many operations or processes often become serious problems due to the generation of foam. For example, the foam produced in the lubricating oil will inevitably decrease to the loss of lubricity, cause the original parts to wear out, and even malfunction; in the transmission system, the foam can reduce the oil pressure and the power, so that the oil supply is interrupted and the operation fails; in the gas absorption In the process, the production of foam will reduce the processing capacity of the absorption device, and even flooding; in the fermentation process of preparing antibiotics, glutamic acid, and MSG, the utilization rate of the fermentation tank is often severely reduced due to bubbles, which reduces the yield of the target product. It can be seen from the above that eliminating harmful bubbles has great technical and economic significance.

Silicone defoamers are used in many industries, and the food industry is one of them. Here is an introduction to the three major applications of silicone defoamers in the food industry:

 1. Food processing: It can effectively defoam in food processing. It is generally used in the processing of water-soluble foods with stable performance and good defoaming effect.

2. Sugar industry: After the honey is fermented, calcium carbonate needs to be added for neutralization. Foam will be produced during the neutralization process, and defoamers are needed for defoaming.

3. Fermentation industry: Grape juice, etc. will produce gas and foam during the fermentation process, which will affect the normal fermentation. The defoamer can effectively defoam and ensure the quality of wine production.
