A system for measuring smoke absorption into food products includes a surrogate that reacts to a presence of smoke in air ambient to the surrogate and the food products; and the surrogate is configured to change a state to a preselected degree after an exposure to the smoke for a time sufficient to effect a predetermined amount of smoke absorption by a selected food product. A method of making the system for measuring smoke absorption into food products includes placing the surrogate in air ambient to the surrogate in a smokehouse where the food products are to be smoked, configuring the surrogate to change a state after an exposure to the smoke for a time sufficient to effect a predetermined amount of smoke absorption by the food products; and measuring the change of state of the surrogate.

The invention relates to a method which includes the following steps: mixing hydrophilic components, including water and an emulsifying saponin which is less than 1% of the emulsion regardless of the proportion of the oily phase; mixing lipophilic components, including the oily active substance, which can reach 40% of the emulsion; a first homogenization of the two preceding phases using a rotor/stator or ultrasonic mixer until a mean diameter of less than 6 μm of the oily droplets is obtained; and a second homogenization of the preceding mixture using a high-pressure homogenizer until a mean diameter of less than 0.4 μm of the oily droplets is obtained.
