Spicing up success with Evonik silicate: Innovations in seasoning blends for the food industry

Efficient powder handling is a cornerstone of consistent product quality in the seasoning industry. However, challenges such as caking, moisture sensitivity, and poor powder flow often lead to production inefficiencies, increased downtime, and packaging issues. In this technical session, OQEMA and Evonik explored how ZEOFREE® 600 LA, a specialised precipitated silica, provides a proven solution to these formulation and processing hurdles.

By absorbing surface moisture and modifying inter-particle friction, ZEOFREE® 600 LA maintains powder free-flow even under humid storage and transport conditions. Its engineered particle morphology ensures uniform distribution within spice and seasoning blends, stabilising bulk density and improving dosing accuracy during filling and packaging operations.
