The target shipping percentage of simethicone in FoamAway Irradiated AOF (animal origin-free) Antifoaming Agent is 3%. This supports the defoaming assay noted on the COA for the shelf life of the product.
FoamAway Irradiated AOF (animal origin-free) Antifoaming Agent is formulated to a 4.0% simethicone concentration during manufacture, representing the upper end of the product's concentration range, to account for loss of simethicone during processing.
The final concentration of simethicone may be variable in the finished product, but is ≤4.0%. The final product must pass a defoaming activity assay as a quality release criterion, ensuring defoaming activity throughout the 8-month shelf life.
