preparation example Construction

[0049] The preparation of alkyl ether amines is known in the art, and various alkyl ether amines are also commercially available. One synthetic approach involves the reductive amination of glycol ethers with ammonia using a NiCoCuReB catalyst as described in US Patent No. 9,574,126. Glycol ether starting materials are available from Dow as DOWANOL TM 、CELLOSOLVE TM and CARBITOL TM Brand names are obtained, such as propylene glycol n-butyl ether (DOWANOL TM PnB glycol ether), dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DOWANOLDPM glycol ether), dipropylene glycol n-propyl ether (DOWANOL DPnP glycol ether), propylene glycol n-propyl ether (DOWANOL PnP glycol ether), dipropylene glycol n-butyl Ether (DOWANOL DPnB glycol ether), ethylene glycol monohexyl ether (hexyl CELLOSOLVE TM solvent), ethylene glycol mono-n-propyl ether (propyl CELLOSOLVE solvent), diethylene glycol mono-hexyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-propyl ether (propyl CELLOSOLVE solvent), diethylene glycol mono-hexyl ether...

[0096] Foam Control Properties Using Alkyl Ether Amines

[0097] The six alkyl ether amines were prepared following the procedure set forth in US Patent No. 9,574,126 using the desired related glycol ethers of the alkyl ether amines. After removal of ammonia, the crude reaction mixture was purified by distillation. Their IUPAC and abbreviation names, CAS numbers (if available), and chemical structures are given in Table 1.

[0100] Foam Control Performance Evaluation

[0101] Potatoes are washed in water, peeled and sliced. Add 780 g of sliced ​​potatoes and 520 g of deionized (DI) water to a kitchen blender and mix for 1 minute. A potato slurry was produced, which was filtered through filter paper, and the liquid was used to evaluate foam control compounds. This liquid is called potato liquid.

[0102] Similarly, sugar beets are washed in water, peeled and sliced. Add 780g sliced ​​sugar beets and 520g ...

Abstract

Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of co-owned Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 738,393 filed September 28, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The processes used to make food products can sometimes result in the creation of unwanted foam. Mechanical methods for foam management have limited effectiveness. Instead, foam control agents are added to the manufacturing process to reduce foam generation. For food and pharmaceutical applications, traditional foam control agents include ethylene oxide-based, propylene oxide-based, and silicone-based agents. However, there is still a strong need for improved foam control agents suitable for use in the food industry. [0004] Foam control agents include foam inhibitors (antifoam agents) that prevent foam from forming and antifoam agents that reduce foam after it has formed. [0005] Undesirable foam formation can occur at various pr...
