USES
The addition of VEROLEC in chocolate counching process reduces the viscosity of the mixture of cocoa
powder, sugar and cocoa butter. As a result of that, it diminishes both the energetic cost and the cocoa
butter amount to be added.
In cocoa powder for instant products, VEROLEC covers the fat powders with a thin hydrophilic film,
allowing the water to wet and disintegrate the agglomerates.
Due to its reduced viscosity, VEROLEC is pumpable at moderate temperatures, permits automatic dosage
and the supplying in containers.
Dosage: 0.3-0.5% in chocolate and 0.5-0.8% in cocoa powder for instant products.
VEROLEC has also application in other foodstuffs as margarines, cookies, instant food, bread and so on.

STORAGE
During storage, VEROLEC keeps its properties, being careful to take the following precautions:
1.- Keep at temperatures between 15 and 40 ºC. Under these values, the increase in viscosity makes the
handling difficult. When heating is necessary, do not exceed 60 ºC, always during short time periods.
2.- Keep packages closed after use.
Shelf life of 18 months.

PACKAGING
100 and 200 kg new open head drums, 1000 kg containers and 25 Mt tanks.
