Procedure: Heat A in main vessel to 45-50°C. Separately combine B. When homogenous, add B to A. With rapid but smooth agitation, add C to AB. Heat ABC to 75-80°C. Separately, combine D and heat to 70-75°C, mixing to make uniform and prevent overheating. When ABC is at 75-80°C and fully dispersed, slowly add E to ABC, maintaining strong mixing without aeration. After several minutes, when uniform, slowly add D to batch. Maintain batch at 75°C for 20 min and start cooling.
