PREPARATIVE PROCEDURE
| 1 | To the main vessel, with appropriate mixing and handling capabilities, add phase A, start mixing and start heating to 85°C. |
| 2 | Above 75°C, slowly add phase B (to prevent clumping) to phase A. |
| 3 | When the batch is crystal clear and completely free of undissolved phase B commence very slow cooling with strong mixing without aeration (to prevent set up of the product on the vessel walls). |
| 4 | At 70°C add phase C to the batch and continue mixing and fill the product when approximately 5°C above its gelation temperature. |
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS (25°C)
| Appearance | Clear, virtually colorless, firm, deformation-resistant gel |
| Odor | Virtually odorless |
| Gelling temperature (°C) | ≈ 59 |
