Yeast

 What is Yeast? 

Yeast are fungi , they are in the air all around us. Yeast has been around for thousands of years , Natural yeast is in the air . Its man made in a bottle . There is over 1000 kinds of yeast . 

Equipment:

• Spoons 
• Kettle
• Bowl
• Beaker
• Cloth Sleve
• Funnel
• Plastic  (PET) Bottle and Cap 

Materials 

• 50ml Warm water 
• 1/2 tsp Active dried yeast 
• 1/2 tsp sugar 
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger 
• Ginger beer ( 1 liter) 
• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1/2 tsp cream tartar 
• 1. Cold Water 
• Juice of 1/2 lemon 
• 1tsp ginger bear bug . 

Method: 

1.  In a large bowl , put the sugar and cream of tartar , then add the water
2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water 
3. Add the ginger beer bug to the large bowl of cold water 
4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle 
5. Label your bottle with your group names 
6. Place all the bottles in the class container 
7. Store in a cool , dark place for one week  before drinking 
8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might over flow . Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape  . 

What is Fermentation ? 

 The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria , yeasts , or other microorganisms . 

What effect does sugar have on yeast?

Too little sugar in dough can slow down yeast activity: Yeast is a lot like us – it loves to eat sugar. Yeast needs sugar to produce carbon dioxide – the leavening gas that causes the dough to rise.

What are 3 foods that have yeast?

Breads, muffins, croissants, biscuits, and other baked goods usually contain yeast.

    

Today we made Ginger Beer . We did this by activating the yeast first by adding sugar to the yeast , putting some ginger and warm water in a cup together . Once we had done this we put it to the side and left it to ferment while we made the rest of the ginger beer. We made the ginger beer in an ice-cream container by adding first the sugar , then the water , some lemon juice and lastly the ginger beer bug. Once everything was mixed up we put it in a bottle. It is going to take about 6 days to turn into ginger beer. Mr Palmer is going to keep it in his office for the next week .

Chilli Tasting Experiment

 Aim: To see which si the best way to cool down the hot chillie taste in your mouth when eating chilli. 

Hypothesis: I think by using ......... I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from my mouth . 

Equipment 

1. Milk 

2. Water 

3. Coca-cola 

4. Tasting cup 

5. Chilli 

Method : 

1.  you will work in groups of three for this experiment . Each person in the group will use of the drinks with chilli. You will then swap results in your group so that everyone has the same results . 

2. Each member of the group needs to have their own tasting up. This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chilli in our mouths . 

3. Place a piece of chilli in your mouth .,

4. you will drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a results chart. 

The milk will not work immediatly . After 3 minutes it had a small effect 

And milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods — literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chili peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation.Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.

Chilli Tasting

2. Spain 

3. indonesia

4.turkey 

5. Nigeria 

What is the scovile scale ? 

The Scoville scale is a measurement of the pungency of chili peppers, as recorded in Scoville Heat Units, 

 

How does a scoville scale work ? 

Scoville heat units, also known as SHU is simply a measurement of the number of times capsaicin needs to be diluted by sugar-water. The number of Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in a pepper or even hot sauce indicates the amount of capsaicin present. The higher the Scoville rating, the hotter the pepper
