1. Product description
Food-grade silica serves as an adsorbent and phosphorus scavenger in animal oil processing. It effectively captures phospholipids, saponins, and trace metals in oils while enhancing stability. The material's optimized particle size distribution improves filtration efficiency. When combined with activated clay and diatomaceous earth, it boosts decolorization performance, reduces crude oil waste, elevates product quality, and extends shelf life. Moreover, its dust-free operation enables water-based degumming, minimizing wastewater and solid waste discharge while preserving the original flavor profile.
Silica dioxide, a specialized adsorbent for animal fats, is a functional material developed for processing animal oils such as beef tallow, lard, mutton fat, and butter. It effectively addresses issues like "impaired flavor, dull coloration, and poor shelf stability" caused by cholesterol precursors, off-flavors, and impurities in animal fats. The product strictly complies with China's GB 25576-2020, the U.S. FDA 21 CFR, and EU EC No standards.
3. Application description
Relying on surface modification technology and precise pore design, Zhongqi animal oil-specific silica adsorbent achieves "heavy metal removal and quality upgrade" in the refining and deep processing of animal oil. The specific applications are as follows: To solve the problem of rancidity in beef tallow and lard, add 0.2%-0.5% (lard) and 0.3%-0.5% (beef tallow).
1. Efficient dephosphorization and degumming treatment: In view of the high phosphorus and soap content in animal oil, the unique mesoporous structure is used to capture phosphorus and gel substances efficiently through precise control of the addition ratio, which can also reduce the loss of oil in the filtration process and improve the production yield.
2. Cholesterol precursor: adsorb cholesterol precursor substances such as animal oil and lanolin, reduce the amount of cholesterol generated in subsequent processing, so that animal oil is more in line with the needs of healthy food, such as processed butter can be used for low-fat baked products;
3. Clarification and coloration: remove impurity particles (such as meat residue) and pigment substances (such as degradation products of carotenoids) in animal oil, so that the color of animal oil changes from light yellow to bright white, and the light transmittance is increased to more than 95%, so as to improve the appearance of products;
4. Application case: The ZLSIL-W58GD model product was provided for a large animal oil processing enterprise to treat butter for instant noodle oil package, and the removal rate of heavy metal impurities reached 92%.
