Q & A PAGE

Abbreviations:

Q.S. – quantity sufficient – this is the amount applicable to how much you want to use.

Using preservatives –  When you are making products for reselling you will more than likely have to use a preservative.  We supply 3 different preservatives:  Kemaben, Euxyl and potassium sorbate.  You will find the usage amounts when you view the product under speciality chemicals.  I dont give recommendations as you need to make the decision once you have read the information you require on the product.

Important :  BEFORE MAKING BIG BATCHES OF PRODUCTS ALWAYS MAKE SMALL TEST BATCHES FIRST.  THE RECIPES AND FORMULATIONS ARE GUIDELINES.  RESULTS CAN VARY WITH ADDITIVES, SKILL LEVEL, CLIMATE, INCORRECT MEASURING.

Keep your working are clean and hygienic.

Do not expose yourself to ingredients you have not researched properly and thoroughly.  Some of Mother Nature’s rewards can be toxic..  Use clean utensils, and dont cook with pots that you made meals in.. thats a NO NO.
