PREPARATIVE PROCEDURE
| 1 | Combine phase A and start heating to 80°C. |
| 2 | When phase A is above 70°C slowly add phase B with string mixing without aeration to prevent clumping. |
| 3 | Continue mixing until phase AB is crystal clear and phase B is totally dissolved (no "fisheyes"). |
| 4 | Commence very slow cooling with strong mixing without aeration (to prevent set up of the product on the vessel walls). |
| 5 | When phase AB is again at 70°C add phase C with continued mixing. |
| 6 | When batch is uniform, perform quality assurance checks and when batch is between 68°C and 62°C transfer product to packaging. |
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS (25°C)
| Appearance (25°C) | Translucent, almost colorless, firm, deformation-resistant gel |
