wherein R 1 is n-butyl, and R 2 is 2-ethylhexyl; and
processing the food composition.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the foam control agent is comprised of a mixture of one of the mono glycidyl ether adducts and one of the diglycidyl ether adducts.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the foam control agent contains 30 to 100 percent, by weight, of the mixture of the mono glycidyl ether adduct and the diglycidyl ether adduct, wherein the mixture is any one of Entries (1) through (24).
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantity of the foam control agent in the food composition is 0.01 to 5 percent, by weight.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantity of the foam control agent in the food composition is 0.1 to 1 percent, by weight.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the foam control agent further comprises a solvent.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the foam control agent further comprises a surfactant or an emulsifier.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of processing the food comprises one or more of washing, slicing, fermenting, grating, crushing, peeling, or mixing.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the foodstuff comprises a potato derivative.
