Boost Biocontrol Performance With Organosilicone Adjuvants

During fermentation, foaming can occur due to a number of factors, including system agitation and aeration, the presence of surfactants and proteins released by the microorganisms themselves, and the accumulation of gases. However, foam is not desired as it can affect the transport of oxygen and nutrients within the system, reduce the capacity of the reactor and potentially lead to clogging and spills, becoming a risk to quality and safety. Ready to help formulators overcome these challenges, Momentive has developed a broad portfolio of high-performance foam control agents for fermentation systems, including antifoams that are organic listed and meet FDA requirements in both silicone and non-silicone formats.
