KFO 402 is a defoamer designated to control foam in many processes. KFO 402 is especially effective when used in fermentation processes where a certain degree of foam control is needed without affecting oxygen transfer for optimum product yield. This product is made with food grade ingredients under our Good Manufacturing Practices Program. The components of KFO 402 meet FDA requirement for use in egg washing, potato processing defoamers as a dispersing aid for mineral oil at a limit of 10 ppm in the processing water followed by a potable water rinse. This product also contains ingredients for which the FDA has provided the Enzyme Technical Association with a “no objection” letter acknowledging that they are used as defoaming agents in the manufacture of enzyme preparations used in food in accordance with the principles of GMPs. Other uses in the processing and manufacture of food ingredients may also qualify for GRAS status. KFO 402 also is composed of ingredients that meet the current requirements of the FDA for food contact applications when used in accordance with the requirements and limitations of 21CFR176.210(d)(3). Consideration for other FDA permitted uses would require further evaluation.
