Silicones in various forms and with different characteristics have become the materials of choice in food release coatings in very diverse applications. Food contact compatible silicone release agents must therefore be coatings that can be easily applied to the container or mold surface and will stay there permanently. The safest way to achieve these various goals is to use silicone-based food-grade release materials and agents that are permanently coated onto the container or mold surfaces and cannot be dissolved, either by physical contact or due to a change in temperature. will not migrate into these and denature them. This can only be ensured by food release agents that are non-miscible with the food ingredients themselves, i.e. These non-stick slip and release agents must behave in a neutral and innocuous way on the food itself, to ensure safety and not affect final composition or taste, while fully complying with processing and safety parameters. Release agents are therefore often required to facilitate the demolding of the final product and avoid damage due to sticking. Baking of pastries, for example, which mixes flour, eggs, sugars and greasy or fatty materials tend to stick to these surfaces during the cooking or baking cycle.
Typically, the food is in contact with glass, enamels, metals, plastics, etc.
Cooking and baking often generate intermediate stages that produce sticky materials that gradually harden or change in texture and, after processing, must be released from containers and utensils. This is true for all players in the industry: from large-scale industrial facilities to more artisanal food preparation operations, such as restaurants, bakers and caterers.įood must be properly processed, heated, baked or fried and easily released for final use. To ensure safe and efficient production from end to end, the food industry must meet a great number of challenges throughout the processing cycle.
