Stop Gelatin Meltdowns: Learn Which Fruits to Avoid
Why are some fruits, such as pineapple, not recommended for gelatin? These fruits contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from solidifying. In this project, you will investigate whether these enzymes hinder gelatin's solidification and find ways to include these fruits without ruining your dessert. It's an experiment with tasty results!
Make Popping Boba Balls Out of Your Drinks
Forget drinking your juice. Instead, try snacking on it! Use the steps and recipes in this food science project to transform drinks into semi-solid balls that pop in your mouth. The technique is called spherification and it is part of a larger food science trend called molecular gastronomy— but we just call it yummy science!
