Emulsions formulation Equipment

Formulation technologies are an integral process in many industries such as pharma and food. Chemical mixtures require strict handling to combine the separate ingredients into the homogenized recipe that makes your final product. Formulation technology stores, mixes and subjects the elements to a range processing parameters according to your specifications to develop the base material. The resulting formulas are then weighed, formed, packaged, or sent for further formulation.

Formulation

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Emulsions

Innovators in process development need laboratory equipment that helps their ideas be reliably scaled up to production.  For dispersion equipment, this requires important process parameters like circumferential speed, tool, and mixing chamber geometry to be structurally identical to production level equipment.
<h2>A highly adaptable dispersion machine for the lab, designed for reliable scale-up</h2>
IKA's Labor-Pilot is a versatile, compact, and highly reliable inline laboratory dispersing machine.  It is designed for solid-liquid mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying, suspending, and wet milling.  It is designed specifically to match process characteristics of larger dispersion machines so developed processes can be reliably scaled up.  The units can work at elevated temperatures, pressure/vacuum conditions, and with abrasive substrates.  Changeout between the several different working modules is quick and easy with each module giving the machine the particular characteristics needed to perform particular tasks and work with a particular type of product.  Compared to stirrers, mixing time for a wide variety of dispersions from coarse to fine can be reduced by up to 50%.

For all the bad rep that it gets, palm oil still makes up around 40% of the global vegetable oil supply, according to <a href="https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="0" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:805644" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">WWF</a> estimates.

Alternative oils pose fewer risks to biodiversity and carbon release, but producing them is not as efficient. This puts the food manufacturing industry in a sticky situation.

But one company picked up this challenge. Its ultimate mission is clear from the name: <a href="https://www.nopalm-ingredients.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="2" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:73236339" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">NoPalm Ingredients</a>.



Using a special yeast, the team developed a process to convert sugars and organic acids in virtually any kind of biomass into microbial oil.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-attribute-index="6" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniProfile:ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-entity-type="MINI_PROFILE">Jochem de Vries</a> showed us a range of samples made from fermented grains.

The new, food-grade ingredient is ready to replace palm oil (or any other tropical oil).

NoPalm Ingredients typically works with sidestreams like potato peels or discarded vegetables, circulating the same waste material that producers generate.

Thanks to Jochem and the rest of the team, that 40% share of the vegetable oil supply will quickly evaporate. And tropical forests can flourish

#Changemaker: Stop facepalming at palm oil, start using fermented alternatives
