In the food industry, soapstone talc is used as a non-stick coating material in various food items such as pulses, rice, etc. It provides a shiny polish while preventing them from sticking to each other. Chewing Gum, cured meats, boiled sweets and rice polishing are just a few of the common food products and processes that use talc as an anti-stick coating agent.
The soapstone talc which we provide is inert in nature and does not need to be broken down by the body before eliminating it. Therefore, in items like rice, powdered dried foods, table salt, or cheese, it is allowed to be used as a carrier for food colouring and as a separating agent. The food particles are shielded and kept from aggregating by the hydrophobic talc particles, which cling to them.
Soapstone talc is also used in the manufacturing of olive oil since it boosts productivity and enhances oil clarity. Since, olive oil is typically produced mechanically at temperatures that don’t affect the oil’s quality and olives produce a lot of foam when making a paste, separating the particles from the oil and water can be challenging. The amount of oil that may be extracted is decreased by these natural emulsifiers because they keep some oil droplets in the water phase hence, the oil production is decreased.
These tiny gels are broken up by talc, which also helps the oil escape. Additionally, talc and olive paste also have lipophilic properties, which means they have a propensity to mix with or hold onto oil. Talc aids in preventing the paste from further liberating oil into a state that can be extracted.
