    I actually made some salt and vinegar seasonings recently with some mixed results. I think my best result came from the use of some sodium acetate crystals I made. You mentioned boiling down baking soda and vinegar, but that's painfully inefficient, and often full of impurities. I have some glacial acetic acid and USP grade sodium bicarbonate that I mixed to get the sodium acetate, and since the acetic acid is practically 100%, you don't have to boil off water, so it more easily crystallizes.
    Mixing the sodium acetate with a bit of citric acid creates a chemical reaction, that converts a bit of the the sodium acetate back into vinegar, and produces sodium citrate and turns into a paste because of the liquid vinegar, which can be dried out on a tray in a short time, then ground into a powder. A bit of corn starch helps to bind it as well.
    One other method I tried, was to add MSG to the sodium acetate before mixing in the citric acid. MSG actually reacts with the vinegar that's produced from the sodium acetate and citric acid, and turns back into sodium acetate and glutamic acid. I found this was not nearly as sharp of a flavour, as the vinegar was reacted again, but it created an interested umami blend.
    Kitchen science is fun.

    I used to do contract work at quite a few of the big brand food companies in South Africa. The food technologists have computerised systems which can analyse all the chemicals within a food product. The percentage of each chemical in that foodstuff is fed back to the technologist who can then take the data and have a very good starting point to create an artificial flavour without actually incorporating the original flavour in any way.

      seanonel That stuff fascinates me, thanks, it's a great scientific interest and also a negative thing in many ways. Corporations can lose sense of the great good in the endeavour to cut corners and make a profit, flavouring goes back centuries, it is a fascinating subject one that I could ramble on about for hours But.... I better not :o)

    Very interesting and informative video Steve.
    To date, 108 likes and not one single dislike! That says it all really..
    I love this info-vid and for these reasons,
    1) The food additives: What they are and where they come from.
    2) How food manufacturers create the flavours.
    Keep these videos coming Steve.

    • @Steve-Owens
      @Steve-Owens  9 лет назад

      Emilly Nicole Thanks Emilly, I did not but I have tried similar things before and I suspect that they would just not absorb a great deal of flavour. Even a few teaspoon in flour didn't give a strong enough taste, I suspect that the corn would absorb even a tiny fraction of that and it will most like vanish in the high temp cooking. But hey! you could try it and let me know :o). Thanks for encouraging me :o)

    I was wondering if you tried a dehydrator, putting the vinegar on a fruit leather tray and dehydrating the vinegar and grinding up the results in the spice grinder and mixing that with salt and taste testing the results?

    • @Steve-Owens
      @Steve-Owens  9 лет назад +1

      sha whit I did Sharon, though here in Melbourne we don't need a Dehydrator, it's so dry, hang a sodden blanket out for 30 minutes and it's bone dry ;)
      You mean just the Vinegar? Sharon, that won't produce a usable solid. I used different carriers very few absorbed the flavour as well as Maltodextrin but the toffee like consistency did grind up to a powder but the finished flavour was not very intense.

    In Canada, we call crisps potato chips. It is the same in America. When I went to London, England, I got some chips from a shop. They were salt and vinegar, I think. On the packet, it said dehydrated vinegar on the ingredients list. Could that be possible? Would that work? Could you dehydrate vinegar to get a powder? What if you mixed a bit of vinegar with salt and then allowed it to dry? Thanks! Cheers!

    • @Steve-Owens
      @Steve-Owens  9 лет назад +1

      tried all those methods they just arent practical or producing a strong enogh taste. I looked at a fair few English crisp packs and they tend to use fruit acids. vinagar itself doesn't dehydrate well. if you smell vinegar your eyes will water. it's because as it evaporates so does the flavours.

    • @dwaynewladyka577
      @dwaynewladyka577 9 лет назад

      Steve's Kitchen Cornflour
      ( cornstarch ) has no real taste to it. I reckon mixing it with the salt and the fruit acids might be the way to go. Vinegar on potato chips
      ( crisps ) would make them all soggy. On fish and chips, that's different. I'm sure you will come up with something. I thought certain kinds of vinegars could be dehydrated. I guess not. There was probably more on the packet of crisps I bought, ingredient wise.

    They do use Sodium Acetate in the commercial salt and vinegar flavor. Which is the byproduct of baking soda and vinegar. I think that flavor you got may have came from the vinegar reacting with the pan. You could try mixing it in glass.

    • @Steve-Owens
      @Steve-Owens  9 лет назад

      BeastOfTraal You are spot on there BOT, it was the reaction with the metal, I was aware of that but I saw many of out favourite snacks used Citric acid. Sodium acetate made that way is just a derivative of Grape acid and they have a similar taste in their raw form, in the end I wanted something anyone could make up with ease and this was the route that seemed easiest. Making pure Sodium Acetate seemed out of most peoples reach and the cost was just so pointless. What I end up with here will cost cents to make and tasted great.
      I like your thinking though, nicely spotted :)
