No, the alcohol content in this is well below the 0.5% abv threshold for labeling it alcoholic.

This video is a little old but i'm curious how to get the "fuzzy navel" orange flavor?

In California it is illegal for liquor stores to sell neutral spirits that are stronger than 60% ABV. How can I adapt the recipe for orange soda when using ethanol that is this weak?

So... is it worthwhile to use denatured Ethanol (since that's all I found online) or should I go to a pharmacy nearby and pickup either Everclear or their highest percent ethanol? Sorry if this is a dumb question >__

@Artofdrink

Жыл бұрын

Don't used denatured alcohol, it contains a really bitter component that will effect the flavour of the soda. Stick with Everclear or a high proof vodka, even 50% abv would be fine, just don't add water to the recipe and stir for a bit longer. And you can do smaller batches, just divide the recipe in half. Then you'd only need 125 ml (4 oz) of Everclear.

Extracts tend to be diluted essential oils though there are limited regulations on extracts so it is hard to say what one manufacturer does compared to another.

Question: If we don't care about the mixture being hazy, and we mix the essential oils with gum arabic, then the remaining terpenes, the ones that you removed, but we still have, will contribute to an off flavor? In other words, should we extract the non soluble in water terpenes? Thanks.

@@Artofdrink Hello and thanks for remembering that I had a question! However this specific question was not answered. But it's OK, no worries. Thanks again!

Hey Darcy. So Glen over at Glen and Friends did a couple cola videos a while back, and for the final version of his cola he used gum arabic in the essence to get the oils to stay in solution. It is a bit more of an involved process to get it all to mix, but in the end the whole essential oil ends up in solution. Is there any disadvantage to applying that principle here, perhaps to create a more complete essence from the oils, and maybe even need less essential oil to obtain the same level of flavor? One though is maybe there are flavor/aroma compounds that come out with the separated/waste oil that you wouldn't want fully incorporated in these simple sodas (terpenes?), whereas with a cola there is so much going on anyway that it doesn't really matter? I know you are working on a cola video for the future, so I look forward to seeing your method, but if just keeping the more soluble components of the oil in the essence, and leaving the easily separated oil behind, is better for some reason, why is that and is that also true for cola? More than one way to skin a cat is what I'm guess the answer is, but I am far from a chemist so your expertise is appreciated. I have already created the Orange and Lemon-Lime essence from your videos and they are great, will use the left over oil in a diffuser as it still smells good. But if some gum arabic would create a complete emulsion, I want to give it a try. Thanks for great content.

@Artofdrink

Жыл бұрын

Hey Chris, So a couple of things, first I love Glen's channel but there is a chemistry element missing from some of his soda videos. And I will need to make a video on these questions as I get them a lot, and it deals with emulsions. Using gum arabic isn't as simple as mixing it with the essential oils, even with a drill mixer. For gum arabic and essential oils to stay in water they need true and proper emulsification, which is a high-shear environment using a rotor-stator to get oil droplets around 10 microns or less in size. Then the gum arabic will coat those droplets and help keep them in solution. In my "How to Make an Essence" video, I use ultra-fine magnesium carbonate in the 10-20 micron range to form the emulsion. But much of the insoluble terpenes cling to the magnesium carbonate during the filtration process and are removed, at least in theory. It is difficult to make flavour emulsions with standard kitchen equipment, like a blender, as it really doesn't create oil droplets small enough. Though I plan on testing this with an immersion blender in a video. Also, gum arabic isn't a great emulsifier, sucrose esters and polysorbates do a much better job. (I'll be using those as they may not require high-shear mixing, experiments coming soon) When I talk stability, I mean months. It may be fine for the hobbyist to shake it every time before they use it, but I want to make sure people who want to make a commercial product for their bar or restaurant or even as a soda brand get the correct info. Too many videos on KZread don't give the proper info, and it is a gap I want to fill. With Glen's cola mixture, the oil would have separated out after a few hours. You are always going to get the soluble compounds in easily, but the terpenes and other water-insoluble materials require a lot more effort. Terpenes are often removed, like in the orange soda, because they are just difficult to keep in water. Sometimes they are forced into the soda, like Colas, because they are required for the taste, but require more science to do so. Just remember oil and water don't mix and everything on KZread isn't real or perfect, though I'm trying to be a true source for this stuff.

The shelf life of the essence is a year or two. Some reports in old soda fountain manuals state these essences get better with age. As for the syrup, without any acid in the syrup, it will last a few weeks, more in the fridge and if you add some acidity to the syrup, it will last much longer.

@Artofdrink

4 ай бұрын

The density of terpenes is much less than water, so they float, and even though you can emulsify them, that emulsion will still float to the top, making an unstable product. That's why brominated vegetable oil, a weighting agent, was added to the emulsion to act as ballast and make the emulsion droplets the same density as the water/sugar mixture of soda.
