antifoaming
Prevents foam buildup
Antifoaming describes substances or agents that prevent or reduce foam formation in industrial processes, food production, or chemical applications.
An antifoaming agent breaks down bubbles or stops them from forming in the first place: The brewery added an antifoaming compound to control excess head during fermentation.
Also called defoaming.
