defoamed
Had froth removed
Defoamed describes something that has had foam removed from it.
Industrial processes often defoam liquids to prevent overflow, improve mixing, or ensure accurate measurement: The defoamed slurry was pumped to the next stage.
Defoaming agents break surface tension to collapse unwanted bubbles in everything from brewing to wastewater treatment.
