The Define Phase. The Define phase is the first phase of the Six Sigma or DMAIC methodology. It is probably the simplest phase but by no means unimportant. The direction your problem solving journey takes is very much dependent on this phase.
Honey Hotline Fact Sheet z Honey Crystallization z page 3/3 Cool temperatures [below 50Â°F (10Â°C)] are ideal for preventing crystallization. Moderate temperatures [50-70Â°F (10-21Â°C)] generally encourage crystallization. Warm temperatures [70-81Â°F (21-27Â°C)] discourage crystallization but degrade the honey. Very warm temperatures [over 81Â°F (27Â°C)] prevent crystallization but encourage spoilage by fermentation as well as degrading the honey. Mesquite + Processed honey should be stored between 64-75Â°F (18-24Â°C).
Like salty water, honey is a solution, which means that bits of sugar are spread throughout a liquid. When honey crystallizes, the honey molecules spread throughout the liquid come together to form solid crystals, and the more dissolved bits of a solute there are in a solution, the faster that solution will crystallize as it cools down. Mixing more water into a solution makes it crystallize more slowly. Heat also changes how quickly crystals form.
