Will homogenizing affect my steeping time?



We have been working closely with many customers lately in regards to these specific type of applications.  From some of our customers processing smaller volumes (10-50ml), we have been told that 15 seconds of homogenization is like a week or two of steeping.   Our homogenizers are high shear homogenizers which create a uniform particle bandwith of your sample.  This is different than a traditional blender.  Blending isn't the same as homogenizing and it would definitely take a lot longer.  It has been reported that  15-30 seconds of a homogenizer would be equivalent to what might be accomplished by a blender in 20 minutes.   The benefit of our equipment is there is minimal to no heat produced during processing.
