Natural Emulsifiers for Cold Process
Question
Hello, could someone recommend natural emulsifiers that can be used in a cold process and are available for sale in Thailand? I mostly see options that require a hot process. Thank you.
Answer
Natural Emulsifiers for Cold Process
Finding natural emulsifiers specifically designed for cold process can be challenging, as many natural options require heating the oil phase to properly disperse or melt the emulsifier.
Based on the available product information, some natural emulsifiers like LeciCream™ (Natural Emulsifier / Cream Maker), Emulsifying Beeswax (Non-Ionic, Natural), and Sucrose Cream Maker™ are available. However, their descriptions indicate that they are typically mixed or dissolved in the oil phase, which usually implies a hot process where the oil phase is heated. The descriptions do not explicitly state that they can be used in a cold process to create stable emulsions.
Therefore, based on the current product descriptions, these natural emulsifiers generally require heat for formulation, and truly natural emulsifiers suitable for a simple cold process might be less common or require specific formulation techniques not detailed in the basic product information.
