Silicon Dioxide

Food

Silicon Dioxide, commonly known as silica, is a naturally occurring compound used extensively in the food industry as an anti-caking agent. It helps prevent clumping and ensures free-flowing characteristics in powdered and granulated food products like powdered sugar, salt, and spices. In addition to its anti-caking properties, it can act as a stabilizer in certain beverages and food items. Silicon Dioxide is chemically inert and does not affect the taste, color, or nutritional value of the food.
