Bioprocess antifoam market generally encounters an issue during the biological process which is excessive foaming. Bioprocess antifoam market thus requires a foam control agent, termed as antifoam. An antifoam can be actively used during fermentation or any other process when foaming is an inherent issue. Foaming can disrupt a process as the foam comprises of tiny bubbles which are of mechanical or chemical origin and it interrupts in proper aeration of the cell culture.

It is to be noted that an antifoam should meet the need of fermentation industry, perform highly, should possess low toxicity, with neutral odors and taste. Bioprocess antifoam market industry is currently facing many advancements with product developments and advancements. Manufacturers are focusing to develop products with high performance, low toxicity, neutral odors & taste, safe to use, silicone free, easily sterilized, and cost effective. On the basis of various products types available we can segment the bioprocess antifoam market into the following:
Water-based
Oil-based
Silicone-based
Others (Ethylene Oxide and Propylene Oxide)
The above products are segmented on the basis of their derived sources and we can also segment the bioprocess antifoam market on the composition and type of antifoaming agents available:
Silicone Polymer
alkoxylated fatty acid ester/vegetable base
polypropylene glycol
polyethylene glycols
silicone oil
polyalkylene glycol
Research shows that antifoams can have different effects on the biological process and hence it is to be ensured before choosing an antifoaming agent for a process. These effects can either be positive such as increasing the volumetric yield of protein, or negative as any growth defect encountered during the production. Silicone based antifoams are projected to be the...
