Sucrose 101

What is sucrose?sucrose or the famous name for it "sugar" is a type of disaccharide  which is the combination of glucose and fructose thus it become sucrose. So what about the taste? is there any thing that sweeter than sucrose?. The answer is yes, the sweetness of sucrose derive from fructose thus compare to sucrose and fructose itself fructose is much more sweeter than sucrose. 

Sucrose + water = syrup

Syrup is a mixture of water with sucrose even for a little amount of it, it is still be considered as syrup. When sucrose is dissolve in water, it acquire the ability  crystallize. For example caramel is the product of crystallization of sucrose. But we can interrupt the ability of sucrose with just as simple as orange juice. 

There a lot more things you did not know about sucrose and I will reveal it all about it !!!   

p/s: I like to call it sugar than sucrose

First "Experiment"

Yeahhh!!! our first experiment is finally happening. The long awaits is finally over as we gonna start it this week. Okay what we gonna do? we are going to do experiment about candy on the temperature and "additional" ingridients. Then, we are going to do the sensory analysis and "can" eat all the candy we make.

the ingredients we use

 Cooking process begin

our "hot" candy is full of love

Brix measurement is being taken

Sensory analysis is being done

Our experiment had finished and it was a lot to learn as we know that different temperature will affect the candy differently as in term of texture. The "add" ingredient we use is corn syrup, it give the candy hard texture rather than without corn syrup. 

Assignment 101

Well it not a shocking surprise any more that assignment had been given already in the first week. As a student there is not a lot of things that surprise me any more :) . Okay now I gonna talk about my experiment that been given to me and my friends. Our topic is ICE-CREAM!!!

Suddenly this picture of ice-cream make me crave for it slurppp... okay back to the topic, this is a normal vanilla ice-cream that everyone can buy in the market but this is not what we gonna do but instead we have to substitute the protein that being used to make the ice cream which is eggs and milk that mainly the large percentage of protein can be found there and to make it more interesting we also need to substitute the vanilla flavour into an fruits that not commonly found in the market. That is interesting right to founded something new that nobody do it before.

Experimental food product 101

So... what is experimental food product??

Experimental food product is all about EXPERIMENT. This subject will teach us 4 things.. which are we have to able to describe steps of research process & key components of designing a study, explain the conceptual phase and organize research study, recognize study design & methods and determined problem to be examined, understand methodological implementation and extraneous variables for valid and reliable statistical conclusions.

This is what I will learn for the next 4 months and what I will achieve.This particular subject is very interesting itself, a lot to learn but a short time to do it. Teach by Dr.Chong itself is a bonus point as she is one of the great lecture that teaching in Taylor's university. Many interesting things to be post here for the next 4 months so just wait for it to be release....
