Desiccant Can be used for food packaging food desiccant which is usually in some snack packaging will have food desiccant, then is not all the desiccant can act as a food desiccant it? Dongguan Ding Xing and we share what the desiccant Can be used for food desiccant.
There are three types of food desiccant: silica gel desiccant (transparent particles), lime desiccant (lime dewaxing agent), silica gel, White block), mineral desiccant (brown ball). In addition to these three, the other desiccant can not be used for food, the main reason is the safety problem. Lime desiccant raw materials for the lime (calcium oxide), water swelling and produce a lot of heat, eating will burn the skin gastrointestinal, due to frequent explosion wounding incident, so gradually eliminated.
Desiccant The current use of more food desiccant is silica gel desiccant, because the silica gel desiccant is a physical adsorption desiccant rather than chemical reaction desiccant desiccant, and silicone is FDA approved direct contact with food and medicine desiccant raw materials. Compared to other desiccants, silica gel desiccant used in food moisture is relatively safe. In addition to the above factors, silica gel desiccant also has a strong ability to absorb, adsorption performance, the silica gel desiccant all into the water, it will not melt. With, tasteless, non-corrosive, non-polluting characteristics, even if the food will not be absorbed by the body.
Some pharmaceutical health products are used in silicone desiccant, in addition to silica gel, the other desiccant are not or not recommended for food moisture
Safe desiccant is also called the absorption agent, is used in moisture, mildew, from the drying effect. The desiccant with physical adsorption is silica gel, alumina gel, molecular sieve, activated carbon, bone charcoal, charcoal, mineral desiccant, or activated clay. Chemical adsorption of calcium chloride, lime or phosphorus pentoxide and other chemical vaporization of the material.
Ding Xing desiccant production of safe desiccant has the following properties:
1, insoluble in water and any solvent, tasteless, chemical stability, in addition to alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not react with any substance.
2, safe desiccant has a strong adsorption capacity, harmless to the human body and products. Does not produce corrosive and dust, suitable for food, drug moisture.
3, after eating, do not be nervous. It will not cause harm to the human body, it will not be absorbed by the body. After eating something can drink some milk, so that silica gel desiccant will soon be discharged with the human body feces.
The current safety desiccant silica gel desiccant, mineral desiccant more commonly used.
Desiccant The desiccant is a desiccant that absorbs moisture from the air. Its drying principle is to physically adsorb water molecules into their own structures or chemically absorb water molecules and change their chemical structure into another substance. So as to achieve the purpose of dehumidification, according to different products and space using different desiccant. Food, medicine recommended the use of safe desiccant.
