Keeping the following considerations in mind when selecting emulsifier:
Cost. Food designers may initially formulate their product with an emulsifier that provides excellent functionality, only to decide later that the emulsifying system or other ingredients are too expensive. Cost of ingredients should be a consideration from the beginning. One must choose the form of the emulsifier wisely. In the plant, plastic fats and emulsifiers may be more difficult to use because workers must scrape all of the ingredient from the container which adds time. Although powdered emulsifiers are easier to use and eliminate the cost of shipping water, they are not functional in every application.
