TRANS-205 RM, AMS Defoamer

TRANS-205 RM is a versatile polymer with many uses. As a defoamer, according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 173.340 (a)(3), it may be safely used as a direct food additive in an amount not to exceed that reasonably required to inhibit foaming in specific applications such as the processing of beet sugar and yeast. As a food processing aid, TRANS-205 RM is considered a ‘secondary direct food additive’ and imparts no flavor, odor, or functional attributes to the food. It may also safely be used as an indirect food additive for the manufacture of articles or components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food; and is approved for the manufacture of paper and paperboard per 21 CFR 176.170, 176.180, and 176.210. TRANS-205 RM finds applicability as a defoamer for many other industrial applications, and is widely used in the fermentation industry. Please consult the Code of Federal Regulations for further clarification on antifoam usage in your particular food-grade application.
