Yeast

Yeast  

  

What is Yeast? Yeast is fungy like found in the air around us. It's been around for a long time/years. It is ma made- In a bottle. There's 1000 kinds of yeast.

What is fermentation?

the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat

What affect 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, and other baked goods usually contain yeast. 

Equipment: 

1. Spoons
2. Kettle
3. Bowl
4. Beaker
5. Cloth sieve
6. Funnel
7. Plastic (PET) Bottle and cap

Materials:

• 500ml warm water
• 1/2 tsp active dried yeast
• 1/2 tsp sugar

Ginger beer

• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1L cold water
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp Ginger beer bug.

Method: 

1. In a large bowl, put the sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm 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 the pour into your clean bottle.
5. Label you bottle with your group names.

7. Store in a cool,dark place for 1 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.

Today We made Ginger beer in class. We did this by activating the yeast first by adding sugar to the yeast, putting this, We 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 in his office for the next week.

Chilli Tasting Experiment

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

Hypothesis: I think that by using  milk 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 need to work in a group of three up to five for this experiment. Each person in the group will use one of the drinks with the 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 cup. 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.

You will recording the following using yes or no

• The effectiveness of the liquid immediately
• The effectiveness of the liquid after 3 minutes. 

Chilli Tasting Results

Record : Yes or No

	Immediately	After 3 minutes
Milk	No	No
Water	No	No
Coca Cola	No	No

Summary and results:

The milk did not work immediately. After 3 minutes it had a small effect.

The coke had a small effect immediately. Coke had no effect after 3 minutes.

The water did no work immediately. The water did not stop the chilli after 3 minutes.

 

Coclusion:

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.
