Applications & Uses

Uses

Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) is a vegetable oil whose density has been increased to that of water by combination with bromine. Flavoring oils are dissolved in the brominated oil which can then be added to fruit drinks. The adjustment of the specific gravity makes it possible to obtain stable finished beverages. If the oil phase gravity is too low the emulsion will form a ring, and if it is too high a white precipitate may form. It is also used in formulating cloud agents. Its use is limited to 15 ppm.
