What it is

Dimethylpolysiloxane is a synthetic, food-grade silicone. It is a clear, odorless liquid that is a type of polymer, meaning it's made of repeating molecular units. It is manufactured through a chemical process.

Why it's used

Dimethylpolysiloxane is used as an anti-foaming agent. It prevents liquids from bubbling up excessively during processing, such as in cooking oils, baked goods, and jams. It helps maintain product consistency and prevent overflow during manufacturing.

Health notes

In the U.S., dimethylpolysiloxane is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-foaming agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated it and found it safe for consumption within specified limits. Studies have shown it is poorly absorbed by the body and is excreted unchanged.
