Go to the Article: The Science of Xanthan Gum
I missed these sciency posts.
Same here.
I need more of this
What brian said. We need more of these once again.
Could you guys do other chemicals as well, like SSL, DATEM, glycerol monostearate, guar gum, lecithin, and make them more baking related?
Yes! More nerd content!
More Chris and
More functional ingredients....
PLEASE
Definitely vote for more nerd content.
MOAR functional ingredients content please!
More food science please! The xanthan gum vid was an OK start, but I'd still like to know more about HOW it thickens sauces and makes cookies gluten-y
its pretty uninformative like i want to know what temperatures to use it, does it breakdown like cornstarch at high temps, does it have any unusual taste like agar agar can. Is it purely a last min thickener. I want an actual scientific in depth breakdown not an ingredient introduction. Is it better to hydrate first then add or to add in to mixer as powder whilst mixing, what speed do you need mixer to be at for it to disperse, what textural properties does it have - is too much xantham always undesirable or does it have weird uses like making vodka jelly bears or something - things that shouldnt work easily but do etc.
