Simple Implementation with a Ready-To-Use Premix The CAPIVA® C 03 premix melts fully at approx. 100 °C and is compatible with standard candy-cooking processes and equipment. It is advisable to process the premix in a molten state. Pre-melting can be performed in a heated vessel/melter or oven. The temperature of the mass should not exceed 120 °C. At this tem- perature, the material can be kept for 12 h.
