I tried making "fruit juice with 0% fruit juice" with plenty of artificial sweetener and additives

"Food additives" that can not be separated from our lives and often discussed. However, there are many cases where discussions are made only on images that are "chemicals" and "because they are artificial", and there are not many people who do not actually know much about what actually mixes with food in practice Is not it?

Unheard of DIY workshop "Empty festivalArt center in Chiyoda Ward, which was also the venue for "3331 Arts Chiyoda"The sensible-type science workshop held at"Extreme Experiment"In fact, we will try cooking using food additives"Science · Kitchen"Was held. It is a word of surprise that becoming a drink that looks just like fruit juice with a cup of medicine that just water is available anywhere.

Details are below.
Art Space "3331 Arts Chiyoda". It is a space renovated former Master Junior High School, and the entrance to the training center is the entrance.


Full bloom cherry blossoms.


When I visited last time, the space which was under construction was completed in various ways.


Symbol of '3331' painted on glass


A huge 'canon' on the entrance of the entrance


The entrance hall is also an exhibition space.


Is it a thing of middle school era? An old piano was placed.


And the setup being steadily being advanced. Only here burns a cyber atmosphere.


What was prepared was hotplates and plastic cups


rice cooker. It seems to be cooking practice because the place is former school.


There are things that are scary such as tweezers for injection in the female, but this is a cooking kit.


And lemon tea with mysterious chemicals and plastic bottles.


The state of the venue was real-time relayed by Nico Nico live broadcast as usual.


The point that human brain 's brain thinks "Is this a proper food?" Is largely divided into "Sebum"Sweetness" "Flavor" three. In other words, if this three sets are managed somehow, the brain will misunderstand what entered into the mouth, "This is nutrition".

Immediately experiment. We will change this extraordinary ordinary lemon tea taste and flavor to cherry tea.


First of all, in order to change acidityTartaric acidInput.


I will put roughly this amount. It is safe to put it in the mouth as it is, but be careful as this small one grain is fierce and sour.


Then change the scent with the right cherry flavor essence. At this time the left side is Muscat flavor. Using this makes you feel like a completely different thing though the taste is the same.


Pipette 3 to 4 drops.


FinallyRed No. 102It is colored in red.


Put a little cup of ear and shake well.


It turned red.


When I drank it, it was just such a simple operation and it was just a cherry-flavored black tea taste. I imagined a more smelly stuff, but it is surprising. Is it made in the same process with the same chemicals at the factory? It is well known that "the content of soft drinks is very cheap", but it can be nod to be cheaper if you make it like this.

By the way, the same thing is possible with water. Just by adding gum syrup, muscat flavor, tartaric acid to ordinary mineral water, it becomes the taste of fruit juice with paper pack. Actually, if tartaric acid alone, acidity tends to be monotonous, so citric acid and malic acid are also mixed, and the strength and duration of sourness etc. are adjusted.


Adding artificial sweeteners in addition to sugar in gum syrup makes sweetness more gorgeous and closer to the feel of raw fruit juice. By the way, thissaccharin. It is commonly used for gully of rotary sushi and I feel a sweet sweetness with one grain.


At the workshop, I also experienced various food additives. For example this is the most bitter substance in the world "Denatonium benzoate"0.1% solution. It is applied to prevent children from accidentally swallowing dolls and building blocks. Actually dropping for a finger is bitter as it can not be moved as if it took a body blow.


Although there was an image of things that are more dangerous and addictive, there is an image that the treatment is troublesome, but its identity has been bewildering honestly with just the most common chemicals like these. By the way, except for limited usage of saccharin, no chemicals are designated as deleterious substances or poisons, and only those that can be bought at a local pharmacy.

Experiment to make liqueur pickle. It looks like a container of bombs or nuclear material, but this is a pressure cooker with outer wall thickness several centimeters.


I will introduce wine and gum syrup, and grapes here.


After firmly fixing the screws, apply pressure on the fire and increase the pressure inside the container. If it is an ordinary pressure cooker, it will be about 1.8 atmospheres, but if it is sealed like this, it will be about 4 to 5 atm. It seems to be OK until about 30 atmospheres.


By raising the pressure, the wine and gum syrup which lost the visit "gets escaped into the grapes" happened, and the wine pickled with wine was finished in the middle.
