Procedure

To main vessel add phase A. Start strong mixing and slowly add phase B to promote dispersion without clumping. When fully dispersed (no lumps), add phase C and commence heating to 74u201377°C (165u2013170°F). When batch is over 70°C (158°F), add phase D ingredients in order. After 30 minutes (when uniform), cool to 40°C (104°F) and add phase E. Then add phase F incrementally as needed to bring pH to 5.0u20135.5. Add phase G and phase H as desired. Mix and cool until uniform and at desired filling temperature and then perform final quality assurance checks.
