Application
Magnesium carbonate, this inconspicuous white powder, but in the food industry plays a role that should not be underestimated. As a food additive, it not only enriches the nutritional value of food, but also improves the quality of the product and the consumer's eating experience.
Desiccant
The application of magnesium carbonate in food preservation technology cannot be ignored. Due to its hygroscopic nature, magnesium carbonate can be used as a desiccant to help control moisture in food packaging, further preventing spoilage and extending shelf life. This property makes magnesium carbonate particularly valuable when packaging nuts, bakery products and other foods that are susceptible to moisture.
Fermentation Agent
Magnesium carbonate also plays a role in taste and texture improvement. In the baking industry, it is used as a leavening agent to help dough rise and influence the texture of the final product. The carbon dioxide released from the reaction of magnesium carbonate with acidic ingredients is key to the expansion and formation of light textures in baked goods such as bread and cakes.
