Sprayable Ghee Formulation Preventing Phase Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional ghee recipes result in products that are not always sprayable, pourable, or readily spreadable, limiting their convenience for various uses while retaining their desirable attributes such as flavor, fatty acid profile, and functionality for high heat cooking.
Innovation Solution
The development of ghee-based products that are stable at varying temperatures, formulated into sprayable and pourable oil blends using natural ingredients without preservatives or stabilizers, incorporating specific ingredient combinations and processing methods to prevent phase separation and nozzle clogging, allowing for extended storage without settling of solid fats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional ghee recipes are used, then the ghee retains desirable attributes such as flavor, fatty acid profile, and functionality for high heat cooking, but the ghee is not always sprayable, pourable, or readily spreadable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of ghee by controlling the cooling rate and storage temperature to maintain it in a liquid or semi-liquid state, enabling sprayability and pourability while preserving the traditional ghee composition and properties
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary substance or formulation method that allows ghee to remain stable at room temperature without phase separation, enabling convenient application methods while maintaining compositional integrity
2Stability of the object's composition
If ghee is made solid or semi-solid for stability, then the ghee maintains its fatty acid profile and health benefits, but it becomes difficult to spray, pour, or spread
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adjusts temperature parameters and formulation characteristics to maintain ghee in a low-viscosity state that enables easy application while preserving compositional stability and health benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a dynamic formulation that adapts its consistency based on storage conditions, allowing ghee to remain pourable and sprayable while maintaining stability during storage
3Ease of operation
If ghee is stored at room temperature for extended periods, then the ghee remains accessible and convenient, but phase separation and solid fat settling occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies storage temperature parameters and formulation properties to prevent phase separation and settling while allowing extended storage at room temperature
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a stable formulation that maintains homogeneous composition continuously during storage, preventing separation and ensuring consistent quality over extended periods
