Abstract
Precut, solid water-in-oil emulsion compositions are prepared by providing a mold having an outer frame and a plurality of configured partitioning plates disposed within the outer frame. The mold is at least partially filled with a fluid form of the emulsion so as to form precuts in the emulsion corresponding to the partitioning plates. The emulsion is then allowed to set. An extrusion die is advanced into the mold. The extrusion die has grooves configured complimentary to the configuration of the partitioning plates so as to receive the partitioning plates therein. The set emulsion is then discharged from the mold by at least partially passing the extrusion die through the mold so as to discharge the set emulsion with the precuts therein.
