Technical seminar
April 8th, 14:10-14:40: The Impact of the Liquid Phase and Other Factors on Bloom Formation presented by Johan Pettersson.
Abstract: Bloom, a sandy or grainy texture caused by large crystal formation, is a common challenge when formulating with natural butters like shea. While strategies such as optimizing processing conditions and using compatible crystallizing agents are well-documented, the role of the liquid phase remains underexplored. This presentation addresses incompatibility in blends and explores how the polarity of the liquid phase plays a critical role in nucleation rates, crystal growth, and the time taken to reach the stable form. It provides formulators with fresh insights and practical tactics to mitigate bloom, influence product texture and aesthetics, and maintain stability under diverse conditions.
Visit them at Stand 1E30 to explore how their sustainable ingredients can elevate your formulations. Meet their experts, discover the latest trends, and learn how they can collaborate to create products that are good for both people and the planet. Let's make better happen - together.
