Both the polytron homogenizer probe and high pressure homogenizer chamber were rinsed with three aliquots (3 ml each) of the sugar solution (saved from the total 375 ml solution for this purpose). Each time the probe was dipped in the solution and run for a few seconds, and then the same solution was passed through the high pressure homogenizer sample chamber. After these three rinses the high pressure homogenizer was rinsed with one passage of air to blow the remaining traces of liquid out of the sample chamber. All three rinses were combined in the 375 ml total solution in a 500 ml glass bottle
