Confirm or contrast the behaviour of active ingredients involved in homogenisation, segregation and carry-over

When developing an active ingredient, it may be useful for producers (licensing application) or users to characterise the various ways the active ingredient behaves in one or more foodstuffs. Licensing applications often include a description of both the homogeneous dispersion of an active ingredient in the targeted foodstuffs and the stability of this dispersion (absence of segregation). When having to choose between ingredients, the client may base their decision on the potential for limiting the carry-over of a given active ingredient at the production plant.
