Procedure:

Combine all ingredients of phase A in the main mixing kettle at 20-30°C using a prop mixer at low speed. Mix for 5-10 minutes or until solution is clear and lump-free. Do the same for phases B, C, D, and E separately. Check the acidity of every phase and adjust to 5.5-6.5 pH using citric acid. Add phase B to A while stirring in medium shear speed for five minutes at 20-30°C. Increase heat to 85-90°C while stirring continuously for another five minutes in low speed. Cool to 70-80°C. 

Then, add phase C and beat in medium shear speed for 5-10 minutes. Follow and do the same for D. Add phase E to batch and mix using paddle at low speed for five minutes. Cool batch further to 40-45°. Add phases F and G ingredients in order and mix with paddle until each ingredient is fully dispersed. Do not aerate. Pour into plastic tubes.
