Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] Re: Olive oil and lard
Ok...I found lots of info on this in the "Encyclopedia of Common Natural and
Chemical Ingredients"...but since I could not copy and paste from that, I
found almost exact wording on Wikidocs...
In Food and Pharmaceuticals
When used as an ingredient in food, it is intended to curb effusion or
effervescence in preparation or serving. Antifoaming agents are included in
a variety of foods such as Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Sprite, and chicken
nuggets in the form of polydimethylsiloxane (a type of silicone).
Antifoaming agents are also sold commercially to relieve bloating. A
familiar example is the drug Simethicone, which is the active ingredient in
drugs such as Gas-X.
Silicone oil is also added to cooking oil to prevent foaming in deep-frying.
See Ingredients for McDonalds Foods for common examples of antifoaming
agents in commonly served foods.
Notice, too that they are used in many other food applications. These
(usually Simethicone) is the most commonly used anti-foaming agent. This
prevents the hot oil from boiling up when one adds something cold to
it...BUT it is a nasty chemical. Restaurants got tired of being sued for
burns from this, so they made requests from the oil industry for help...this
is how they "fixed" that problem, by adding yet another chemical to the
already 15 or more used to refine cooking oils! Blech! This is why I am so
particular about what we stuff into our faces here...
