Magnesium carbonate is one of the more important food additives, mainly used in the cosmetics, medicine, food and flour improver industries. When purchasing food-grade magnesium carbonate, you must choose a formal enterprise with a food production license like Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd.
Food-grade magnesium carbonate is mainly used to produce flour improvers. In the formula of flour improvers, food-grade magnesium carbonate is a very important raw material component, which can play a very large auxiliary role, greatly improve the fluidity and dispersibility of flour improvers, and act as an anti-caking loosening agent. In general, the content of food-grade magnesium carbonate in it is between 10%-15%, and it must be guaranteed to have good fluidity. The content of magnesium oxide in food-grade magnesium carbonate is between 40%-43%, the apparent specific volume is between 1.4-2.5ml/g, and the water content is less than 1%. In addition, food-grade magnesium carbonate also plays a great role in other industries such as cosmetics, medicine, and food.
Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that compared with ordinary magnesium carbonate, the preparation method of food-grade magnesium carbonate is roughly the same. The biggest difference is that it has more stringent requirements on the index requirements of raw materials and the degree of purification in the production process. Secondly, there are also differences in production equipment. The production scale of food-grade magnesium carbonate is usually relatively small, and the output is not high, but the added value of food-grade magnesium carbonate is very high and has good economic benefits.
