Add phase C to phase A and mix for additional 1 minute. Slowly add phase A  to phase B and increase blade speed to 800 rpm to emulsify. Mix for 8-10 minutes. Slowly add phase D (thickener) to batch and mix @ 800 rpm  until smooth (approx. 8-10 minutes). Add preservative and mix @ 300 rpm for 1 minute.  Adjust PH to 6.5 using NaOH.
