Question 3: Batch Record Oil Phase Extra Volume

In the batch record, the

This extra volume is included to:

• ensure the oil phase is slightly more concentrated

  reduce the viscosity of the oil phase

  make the emulsion thicker

  allow accurate pouring and compensate for transfer losses

When transferring the oil phase into the water phase, the correct approach is to:

• pour the entire contents without measuring

  wait until the water phase is fully cooled before pouring

  measure the amount added during pouring to avoid using too much

  reheat the oil phase before pouring
