Description
High-pressure homogenization creates stable emulsions or foams by forcing mixtures through a small opening under high pressure.
Technical
High-pressure homogenization involves forcing a mixture of two or more liquids through a small opening under extremely high pressure, typically above 1000 bar, to create a stable emulsion or foam. The high pressure and shear forces break down fat globules and particles, allowing for even distribution throughout the mixture. This process can create nano-emulsions with droplet sizes of less than 100 nanometers, resulting in improved stability and texture.
