The Define Phase. The Define phase is the first phase of the Six Sigma or DMAIC methodology. It is probably the simplest phase but by no means unimportant. The direction your problem solving journey takes is very much dependent on this phase.
Honey Hotline Fact Sheet z Honey Crystallization z page 3/3 Cool temperatures [below 50Â°F (10Â°C)] are ideal for preventing crystallization. Moderate temperatures [50-70Â°F (10-21Â°C)] generally encourage crystallization. Warm temperatures [70-81Â°F (21-27Â°C)] discourage crystallization but degrade the honey. Very warm temperatures [over 81Â°F (27Â°C)] prevent crystallization but encourage spoilage by fermentation as well as degrading the honey. Mesquite + Processed honey should be stored between 64-75Â°F (18-24Â°C).
Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 Â°C to 64 Â°C (144 Â°F to 147 Â°F). If beeswax is heated above 85 Â°C (185 Â°F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 Â°C (400 Â°F). Density at 15 Â°C is 958 kg/mÂ³ to 970 kg/mÂ³. Natural beeswax: When cold it is brittle; at ordinary temperatures it is tenacious; its fracture is dry and granular. The sp. gr. at 15 Â°C [59 Â°F] is from 0.958 to 0.975, that of melted wax at 98 Â°C to 99 Â°C [208.4 Â°F to 210.2 Â°F] compared with water at 15.5 Â°C [59.9Â°F] is 0.822.
