Procedure

Add phase A to the main vessel. Start mixing and heating to 75–80°C. Add phase B during heating of this water phase. Combine phase C in a separate vessel and start mixing. Heat this oil phase to 75–80°C. Add phase D ingredients in order. When contents of both vessels are uniform and at 75–80°C, add the oil phase (CD) to the water phase (AB) using strong mixing without aeration. Mix and cool until uniform and at desired filling temperature. Perform final quality assurance checks and fill product.
