Australia Anti Caking Market Trends

Calcium Components Has A Growing Demand

Some of the calcium compounds mostly used as an anti-caking agent, that are recognized as GRAS include calcium ferrocyanide, calcium phosphate (i.e. bone phosphate), calcium silicate, and calcium aluminosilicate. Calcium silicate (CaSiO3), a common anti-caking agent that is added to table salt, etc. adsorbs both water and oil. Although they are food additives, they have other applications too. For example, they are popularly used in non-food items like road salt, fertilizers, cosmetics, synthetic detergents, and other such manufacturing applications.

Growing Demand From Agriculture Sector

Modern chemical fertilizers consist chiefly of three elements which are a must for the nutrition of a plant - nitrogen, potassium & phosphorus (NPK). The fertilizers also often contain other nutrients vital for plant growth such as sulphur, calcium, zinc, boron, copper, iron, and magnesium. As most of the fertilizers are solid powder they form clusters together due to hygroscopic property. These salt bridges have formed the cause of sharing of electrons and ions; with time these clusters or agglomerates become hard to break. Hence anti-caking agents are used so that the powdered or granulated content doesn't form lumps in moist conditions and can be packed easily.
