People early from fruits, honey, and plants to extract sweetness. Developed into the production of caramel from grains developed into sugar from sugar cane beets so the history of sugar production probably went through early sugar production, manual sugar production, and then to industrial mechanized sugar production. In the extraction of sugar due to the operation process and sugar residue contains a lot of foam that affects the taste and quality of sugar so in the production of sugar by adding food-grade industrial sugar defoamer to eliminate foam.
Sugar has become a part of life, but there is still some sugar on the market that is in poor taste, so understand the process of sugar production and why the process of sugar production will produce foam. Are these bubbles related to taste? The causes of industrial sugar production foam are mainly the following 3 points.
1. As the temperature continues to rise it is easy to cause the sugar tank to bubble up the pot causing unnecessary material loss.
2. Because the air mixing into the sugar liquid volume increases caused by the sugar liquid transport difficulties easily caused by leakage pollution of the surrounding environment
3. The large amount of foam generated in the evaporation and crystallization stage will adversely affect the water evaporation and crystallization speed, which will lead to increased energy consumption and increased costs, resulting in reduced efficiency.
Therefore, it is normal for the foam to appear in the process of sugar production. The production of foam is related to the presence of foaming substances in the raw material itself. This substance itself has a strong surface activity. The sugar solution in the process of high-temperature stirring and air mixing contact is easy to produce foam to extend the work time to reduce the efficiency of the work. Seriously affect the taste of sugar substances. In order to quickly and effectively solve the foam can add industrial sugar defoamer to eliminate foam.
Industrial sugar defoamer is a special defoamer to remove the sugar process and the fermentation process generated foam. It can automatically return to the emulsified state after being subjected to high temperature. It will not affect the use of water-oil separation and emulsion breaking in the sugar-making liquid. It has good hydrophilicity in the foaming medium easy to spread strong defoaming ability. However, the solubility is large and the maintenance time of defoaming activity is short and the moisture absorption is low. Therefore, it is a good defoamer used in the viscous sugar solution. Industrial sugar defoamer can be used not only in sugar production but also in other fermentation and food products to inhibit foam.
