Formulation Guidelines
- Easy to use. Combine emulsifier with the oil phase and heat until phase is melted and homogeneous. Add to hot water phase and mix with conventional mixer (propeller or paddle) at high speed until emulsion is formed. Cool with medium speed until pour temp (40°C or lower).
- Lab results show homogenization does not negatively affect the emulsifier and can be used as needed for complex and stabilizers.
- Need to increase the oil to emulsifier ration beyond 3:1? This is attainable by using additional support thickeners and stabilizers.
