Foam in food was a problem...
Until General Electric developed new food grade silicone antifoams (FDA SANCTIONED) General Electric's four new food grade silicone antifoams control foam easily, effectively and economically . . . and can be added directly to your food processing operation. All ingredients of these four products are FDA sanctioned as direct food additives. They can be added directly in the processing of foods and will defoam just as effectively as industrial grade silicone antifoams. Why four products? Because no single defoamer can provide the best foam control in every process. We invite you to try all four — then pick the one that offers the greatest savings in your application. For aqueous systems, General Electric has Antifoam 10 (10% silicone) and Antifoam 20 (20% silicone). Both require only minute amounts to effectively control foam in food Like to discover which antifoam will solve your food foaming problem? W e will be pleased to send you, free of charge, the kit pictured above. Just write on your letterhead to Section F 1 0 9 7 , Silicone Products Dept., General Electric Company, Waterford, New York.

systems such as instant coffee, sugar refining, jams, syrups, sauces, soft drinks, fruit, rice, yeast, whey, and many others. Antifoam 3, a 100% active silicone fluid, and Antifoam 44, a pourable compound, are used in the processing of nonaqueous foods such as corn and vegetable oils. All four of these food grade defoamers are non-toxic, tasteless, colorless and chemically inert. As a result, they maintain product purity, protect original product flavor. They are also stable at high temperatures and resist oxidation, thereby preventing any loss of antifoam during processing. Although FDA sanctioned as direct food additives, these same antifoams perform equally well in many industrial applications.
