blending step the temperature of the vessel of which the preprocessing step is taking place is heated frequently using steam as in the case of beverage manufacturing or in low heat as in the snack bars before heat is applied e g 195 u00b0 f materials such as nutrients antioxidants vitamins and minerals can be added in the production of the beverage after the supplementation of the desired additives and achievement of homogeneity the liquid is pumped via stainless steel pipeline travelling many hundreds of yards in a bottling factory steam at high temperatures is applied from the outside to the pipes which in turn maintains the temperature of the liquid as it is moving the pipes are strategically placed over the machinery that injects the liquid into bottles this mechanism operates like a valve that is turned on and off simultaneously as the liquid is being pumped it is being agitated as the beverage is transported to the bottles for the fiber based dietary snack bar the preprocessing follows the same directions as the beverage furthermore the environment for the development of this product is in a industrial kitchen with the use of large cooking pots the diluted hydroxycitric acid solution is blended with water covered and heated bringing it to a boil for about 15 minutes the bubbles.
