Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/29/2014 --Anti-caking agents are additives placed in powdered or granulated materials to prevent the formation of lumps or caking. Anti-caking agents are placed in powdered products for the ease of packaging, transport and consumption. They do not have nutritional value. There are a number of anti-caking agents available in the market which include tricalcium phosphate, powdered cellulose, magnesium stearate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium ferrocyanide, calcium ferrocyanide, magnesium trisilicate, potassium aluminium silicate, stearic acid and polydimethylsiloxane among others. Sodium aluminosilicate is used as an anti-caking agent in table salts. In addition, it is present in dried milk, egg mixes, sugar products, and flours. Sodium ferrocyanide and potassium ferrocyanide are more common anti-caking agents in table salt in Europe. Anti-caking agents are classified as natural and man-made. Natural anti-caking agents such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are very expensive. Some anti-caking agents are soluble in water and some are soluble in alcohols or organic solvents. They function either by absorbing excess moisture, or by coating particles and making them water repellent. For instance, calcium silicate absorbs both oil and water. Some non-food items that contain anti-caking agents are fertilizers, cosmetics, synthetic detergents and road salts among others. The applications of anti-caking agent in fertilizer include nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, ammonium, and compound based fertilizers. The market for anti-caking agents is estimated to grow with the increasing use of anti-caking agents in different industries.

Examples of food that contain anti-caking agents include vending machine powders, milk & cream powders, cake mixes, instant soup powders, drinking chocolate, baking powder, table salt, icing sugar and grated cheese among others. Lumps form in these powders when they absorb moisture and thus cannot be spread evenly. Without anti-caking agents, vending machine powders such as coffee or chocolate do not flow regularly. The lumpy powder may block the various tubes in the vending machine and the taste of the drinks would not be consistent enough. Powdered milk can clump together during processing, packing and storage.
