Spun Kiwi

Eric_So_267001

I spun blended kiwis in my centrifuge.

Here's a video of the spinning (boring) https://streamable.com/3e6m

And some pictures of the end result

In a vacuum bag because I don't want food contact with the centrifuge buckets...

and after decanting the liquid. The remainder is a thick smooth pulp that I'm gonna use to (try) to make sorbet.

Thoughts? I wound up using a bit of the juice in a tuna poke. It's wonderfully tart.

Cool!! I'm betting that kiwi will make some kick-arse sorbet.

Still jealous, I would like to try some.

Sorry, your video link not working for me.

Are there plastic bottles that you could buy that fit your centrifuge buckets?

How much time and how many g did you spin it? Did you use Pectinex when blending it? Was there an difference in taste between whole kiwi, liquid and pulp?

Thanks, I never thought centrifuging kiwis!

I spun it at 4500g (appx) for 15 mins without any Pectinex. I think I can increase yield if I do use some. Plus I need to figure out a better way of extracting the juice from my vac bags.

Now there was a clear difference in flavor between the pulp (less tart, sweet, if you get seeds a bit of a bite, somewhat melonlike, best comparison is dragon fruit) and the juice (tart almost tingly, works very well as a meat marinade, lot less sweetness, I'd compare it to a sweet lemon juice).

Yes, but makes it harder to extract pulp in the end.

I'll work on another upload when I get home.

Cool, thanks

Thanks for the info. I don't want food to touch my unknown usage buckets too. I found that there was ziploc disposable containers that could fit the buckets. You may have to remove the top part with the cover but they fit like a charm.
