HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Use appropriate PPE including gloves and safety glasses for bulk handling.
Avoid generating dust and avoid inhalation of fine powder.
Pre-wet or disperse slowly under agitation to avoid lumping during hydration.
Ventilation:
Use general ventilation for normal handling.
Use local exhaust where dust may be generated during powder transfer.
Minimize airborne particulate accumulation in enclosed areas.
Storage:
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
Protect from moisture to prevent caking and maintain free-flowing behavior.
Keep away from strong odors and contaminants to preserve sensory neutrality.
Spill and Leak Procedures:
Sweep up spilled powder and avoid dust generation.
Collect into suitable containers for reuse or disposal according to local regulations.
Clean residues with water if needed and dry the area to prevent slip hazards.
Handling Precautions:
Control hydration and shear because E423 Octenyl Succinic Acid Modified Gum Arabic performance depends on proper dissolution and droplet size control during emulsification.
Optimize emulsifier system with weighting agents or co-emulsifiers when required because beverage emulsion stability depends on oil density, droplet size, and viscosity.
Rotate stock using FIFO practices to maintain consistent quality and predictable emulsification and encapsulation performance.
