Q&A Emulsifiers SH 1. What is means by HLB Method? It is actually a system developed by industry to determine what kind of system should be employed to create the desired products quickly, efficiently, and economically. HLB is stand for ** Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance **. It is defined as the ratio of the weight of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in an emulsifier. Emulsifiers with HLB values below 9 are lipophilic, those with values between 11 and 20 are hydrophilic and those with values between 8 and 11 are intermediates. The solubility of an emulsifier in water will, therefore, increase as its HLB value increases.

2.Gum Arabic is the emulsifier commonly used to stabilize beverage emulsion, but it is imported from often unpredictable sources. So, what is the better alternative that can be used to replace gum Arabic? EmCap[tm] modified starches from Cargill Food & Pharma Specialities are cost- effective alternatives to gum Arabic and it does provide health benefits ove animal-derived sodium caseinate.
