Question
WhiteCumin™ powder is known to be soluble in oils and glycols. When dissolving WhiteCumin™ powder in Glycol (such as Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol), is it necessary to apply heat (e.g., 40-50°C) to achieve complete and rapid dissolution?
Answer
WhiteCumin™ (Product ID 742), which is the powder form of Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, is soluble in glycols (such as Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol).
While it can dissolve at room temperature, the process can be slow, especially since it is a crystalline powder being dissolved in a viscous solvent like glycol.
It is highly recommended to use gentle heat (around 40-50°C) while stirring to ensure complete and rapid dissolution.
Recommended Dissolution Method:
- Mix the WhiteCumin™ powder into the chosen glycol (or Propanediol) first.
- Heat the mixture gently in a water bath (or on a hot plate) to a temperature of 40-50°C.
- Stir continuously until the powder is fully dissolved into a clear solution.
- Once dissolved, the solution can be added to your main formulation.
