    I made indigo in a previous video, but it was almost insoluble in water. So, what I'm going to do, is chemically modify it to make it soluble. This new dye is called indigo carmine, and it's commonly used in foods, in both Europe and North America.

The only issue I have is that they don't have a tool to help you select the best server to use, and you may have to try many before you find the one with the best speed for you. Other than that, no issues.

    Funnily enough our instincts run in the opposite direction when it comes to orange/reds, cuz those usually mean ripe, sweet fruit.

      It depends on how you define the term "edible"
      Which normally means things that you would put in your mouth, and it won't make you sick or die.
      Which normally would get rid of a lot of chemicals from the entire list.
      But due to the principle of "Dose", you can technically eat every single chemical in this world, like one molecule of it, and not suffer any major consequences from it
      So.... not only if you are brave enough, you can also be very smart... sort of smart atleast...

    • @KainYusanagi
      @KainYusanagi 6 лет назад +165

      As a cook, if you're going to salt eggs, do so right before they go on to cook if you are following a batch recipe (like when you're making them in an industrial kitchen, like a cafeteria or hospital) but, when making them individually, salt them afterwards. In the former case, consistancy matters more, and with a large batch method properly seasoning all the eggs individually isn't going to be easy, either; the process of cooking large batches of eggs in industrial kitchens differs anyways, usually involving an oven and a deep tray. When making them individually, you want to salt them afterwards so that the salt doesn't interfere with the protein bonding and allows it to bond properly, creating a firmer texture, rather than a soggy one. Some people prefer to mix in the salt beforehand because they actually prefer the softer, mushy texture, or because they prefer to have the salt mixed in consistantly rather than simply sprinkled on top. For the latter case, I'd rather recommend sprinkling salt on when the topmost layer is just about to finish congealing, so you get overall firmer eggs with a more consistant saltiness throughout.

    In one of Oliver Sacks' books, he describes the case of a man who was in a car accident and sustained an extremely rare brain injury. It caused a lesion in a particular place in his brain, resulting in total loss of color vision. He saw everything in monochrome. One of the things he mentioned was a consequence of that was that it became very difficult for him to eat. He saw most food as black, and it disgusted him. We're quite sensitive to both the appearance and the context of the things we eat.
    Almost none of the subjective experience of taste we have is driven by objective factors. It was originally thought that we kind of lied to ourselves about our taste experience, that we would make up stories we told ourselves about how we felt about the things we ate, and that explained why professional sommeliers will drink the same wine out of a paper cup and out of a wine glass and describe them as tasting like completely different wines. But, then they did more research. It turns out, they weren't lying. fMRI brain scans showed gigantic differences in the parts of the brain that register taste. Things literally taste different based on seemingly irrelevant details like how expensive we think something is, how we think it is going to taste beforehand, etc.

      I feel like that is still kind of us telling ourselves a story, it’s just a more complicated one that we don’t realize we’re doing. Like, what I mean is that the wine is stimulating the same taste buds in the same exact way both times, and it’s not until it gets to our brain that it decides it must taste different. It’s kinda like the taste equivalent of those chess board illusions where a square in shadow and a square out of shadow are the same color despite looking different, we’re not literally seeing it be darker, our cone cells are receiving the same photons, but our brains are interpreting it based on our understanding of shadows and color to make us think that must be different

    19:30 that's why when Heinz came out with purple and green ketchup, it failed. The green I couldn't do, but lived the purple, go figure. It has to do with the psychosomatic reflex, and how humans are program to avoid bad food. This is also why when LED lights first came out a lot of restaurants had the swamp back to incandescent bulbs because of the color change of the food making people angrier and disliking their food even though it's the same exact dishes they always eat color perception plays a huge part in our lives

      Nicely explained. As a chef, I can attest to the fact that food is seen as more appealing under warmer tones of light. I once ran experiment with store bought food similar to what would have been found in a 90/00s high school cafeteria. Using the same cream colored plates and light blue tablecloth, the food was voted as more appealing in the photos taken under incandescent, warm LED and halogen bulbs VS the florescent and white/daylight LED. Oddly enough, people even preferred stage lighting (filter gels of either cool or warm colors) to the florescent lighting.
      School lunches were horrible, but the schools could have quelled a LOT of the disdain simply by changing the lighting for the cafeteria.

    • @Eskiwen

      neat! I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me, though - I've never had an issue with oddly colored food, despite being a super picky eater, and I've never noticed lighting when eating. this may be that I've had to eat 'off' food in my life and not get sick from it when growing up, so maybe I literally trained it out of me. I tend to rely more on my sense of smell and taste when eating, so...

I want to get into chemistry and seeing it being practiced, with the issues and how to work around them, is really making it more interesting to me as does it help me pick stuff up. Seems to be a lot of cool "tricks" also that you don't get taught in grade school but that people into chemistry knows =). Great channel!

    For good scrambled eggs, use butter, and season them after they're cooked. Adding salt to them can cause the end result to be watery.
    Also, when you take them out of the pan, add some creme fraice or some cheese (basically something cold) to stop it from getting overcooked.

    Scrambled egg cooking tip. Heat until the bottom layer just starts to solidify. Then stir by poking the edge of the flat forward into your eggs like you would to loosen a stuck meat product. Only stir enough to churn everything around, give it a few seconds and repeat. This will produce fluffy scrambled eggs very quickly.

    I've watched almost all your videos. Cool. As a retired organic chemist, may I offer some constructive advice. Your achilles heel seem to be workup. Those coffee filters you love so much aren't helping any. Lab grade filter papers are not expensive at all, but definitely check out the glass fiber filter media also. Well worth it. Especially when used along with reduced pressure filtration. You even get them in sizes that will fit your sintered glass filter. I've also found that using a varying combo of diethyl ether and ethyl acetate gives a very flexible control over solvent polarity - when the reactants allow it. I tried to avoid using water too much in the organic lab, rather opting for the organic solvents. Best of luck!

    Hi Nile! ( very very hope that you will watch this comment under year old vid ) First of all I need say that my English is ✌very very✌ well, I'm from Russia, sorry for mistakes. I wanna suggest way of making indigo carmine which needs much less cleanings. First step is just indigo and sulfuric acid reaction. After you need pour it in cold water with cracked ice, all heat of diluting sulfuric acid goes to ice melting and blend stays completely cold. Neutralize extra acid with sodium bicarbonate and add some sodium sulfate. Put it in fridge for a night and filter it with coffee filter. Final step is dissolving it in hot water ( you can do that with product on coffee filter, just take it off when all diluted, that makes lesser loss ). Add 1:1 or 1:2 isopropanol and put it in fridge. Filter it with coffee filter and wash with some extra isopropanol. And while it still pasty put in into a bowl to dry. Done, thanks for reading :3

    NO! Don't add salt BEFORE you cook the eggs you savage! The salt ions denature the proteins in the egg before you even cook it.
    The proteins coagulate even more strongly than just cooking them and give you a tighter, tougher protein network that squeezes out any water, making it dry and hard and gross.

    i don't have chemistry background, but i know a thing or two about cooking eggs, (source: am brunch chef) which prompted a few thoughts watching this:
    -an edible dye in the red-orange-yellow range of hues would for sure be more appetizing, the fact that blue and weird-green food colours gross us out is a well-documented psychological phenomenon.
    - the yellow in egg yolks is a particularly hard thing to hide, colour wise. if you've ever eaten lemon curd, you know it has a bright, lemony looking colour, but the lemon has nothing to do with it, the colour comes from the egg yolks in the recipe. you might think that curd made with lime juice would be green, orange juice orange, and grapefruit juice pink, but they all turn out the same egg yolky colour, so again, a blue dye is not going to be as effective as colour that can more easily 'make friends' with yellow.
    - two other potential problems with blue dyes and cooking at high temps are the maillard reaction, (heated proteins) and caramelization (heated sugars), which are responsible for the nice toasty golden brown tones we associate with food being cooked and ready to eat. even if you have cake batter or bread dough that is as white as fresh fallen snow, and you dye it blue, you will find that once cooked, the exterior has become a gnarly olive green colour from the combo of blue with toasty maillard and/or caramel brown.
    - the margarine bit at the end made me wonder about the possibility of making coloured butter by dying heavy cream and then whipping it to hell and back. with a water-soluble dye, a lot of the colour might come out in the buttermilk, but since butter is a colloidal suspension, there might be enough left in the final product to give it a hue. also home-made butter made this way (the 'oops i left the whipped cream in the mixer too long' method) is not as yellow as store-bought, so blue might even kind of work here!
    - i know everyone likes their eggs their own way, but maybe try cooking them at lower heat and stirring them about half as frequently with a smaller implement. this is subjective though and i've seen 'how-do-you-like-your-eggs' debates nearly come to blows (salt before! salt after! salmonella panic!) egg discourse can be touchy af, so ultimately you can scramble your eggs however you want because you're a grown-up and you're the one eating them.
