Cleaning Probiotics with Low Foaming Detergent
Q: We are a medium-sized production company, focused on probiotic manufacturing. We would like a low foaming detergent to clean our stainless steel production tanks and lines. The residue can be quite challenging.
A: Residue from probiotics, which are microorganisms, will be proteinaceous and organic in nature. These residues can be adherent and challenging to remove, especially when a low foaming detergent is required. Recall that low foaming surfactants tend to be less good at emulsifying, and a reliance on chemistry is required for the predominant cleaning mechanism.
