Experiment 4: Determination of the appropriate fill-volume of the horizontal mixer of the industry collaborator. Table 2.7 shows the effect of fill-volume on vitamin A recovery in fortified peanut butter prepared using the Horizontal Mixer of the industry collaborator. Results showed that fortified peanut butter in the 10 Kg production batch had unacceptably low vitamin A recoveries that ranged from an average of 29.1% to 37.6%. The premix however was found to be uniformly distributed in the final fortified product as indicated by the low percentage variabilities in replicate samples (0.49 and 0.75%). The low vitamin A recoveries were attributed to the low volume of the product causing the possible incorporation of air in the fortified product during mixing as the blade of the mixer reached only half of the product.
