I think the problem is more that people do not use chemicals correctly when given access to them. They have a habit of forgetting to make sure they get all the trace chemicals as well. Vitamin pills are very useful, but only correctly dosaged, in the correct timeframe, and under the correct conditions for proper ingestion/absorption. And we do not have pills for all the trace stuff yet either. In some cases our pills are less absorpable by our bodies or simply should not be consumed at the same time as certain other nutrients, and that needs to be accounted for. That is why nobody should try to live solely based on synthesized chemicals, but there is no reason to actively shun them either. As long as instructions are properly followed of course. But human stupidity is infinite.

I'm going to provide a disclaimer before this to both the original commenter and any who read this after. I'm 110% not saying that your or anyone elses cooking is bad, in no way do i want to imply that. However, if someone were to properly spend their time (much like Thought Emporium has) on blending these chemicals into something absolutely amazing, i'm like 90% certain that they could make something completely synthetic that would blow any homemade out of the water. This isnt because anyone is bad at cooking or anything like that, just that no matter how hard any cook tries to make their stock consistent or amazing, using exact chemical concoctions will ALWAYS be more uniform and repeatable. With enough experimentation, its just a given that it can be improved more than something as inherently inconsistent as cooking. Ask any baker, no two doughs will be the same depending on where, when, or how they're made. However at the same time, even if someone were to make the absolute best testing synthetic stock ever, i would still prefer homemade. Not for better taste or anything like that, but simply for the human aspect of it. I can respect any mad scientist or whatever that spends all that time to make the stock with purely chemicals, but if i had the option between that or something that was a labor of love, the latter is always preferred.

okay. Making chicken flavoured soup is fascinating but I thought the taste bud breakdown was MINDBLOWING. I'm gonna see if you guys have tongue vid, hang on....

This was so much more interesting than the name suggested. Great show and the taste test was fun!

I'd be curious to know how a broth made from fresh roasted chicken stacks up against your recipe. I usually find that store bought stocks taste a bit flat and watery, so I'm not _too_ surprised they failed to show well here.

Well, as long as you aren't a Vegan, Vegetarian, or allergic to something used here, then a pack of instant ramen with artificial flavors is really cheap. It would not cost much to do your own blind taste test with ramen noodles, chicken boullion, chicken stock, and chicken broth from various soup makers (Or just your preferred brand.)

About 5 months ago I discovered on the food science reddit that adding 2% disodium-5 ribonucleotides to 98% MSG makes the MSG 4 times as flavorful. I bought some disodium-5 ribonucleotide powder and have been fortifying my MSG for 4 months and I have never looked back! It gives the MSG FIREWORKS!! Also shouldn't this be on The Taste Emporium? I know that channel may seem dead but it's never too late to resurrect an old channel and it just seems fitting...

I just don't like how chicken tastes so I hate this. Actually, he gave tips on how to modify the recipe so there's some useful info for me :D

As an anosmiac - someone without the sense of smell - I can confirm that taste *isn't* mostly smell, but that smell does affect how things taste. My family and friends taste things differently than I do, but I'm better at coming up with flavor combinations because I'm solely focused on what things actually *taste* like, rather than what they both taste *and* smell like. Also, I can "smell," but I do it by tasting the air with my tongue. I "taste" the air, and can pick up on how things smell differently than how they taste. I don't know if I can because my sense of taste is stronger, if my brain has developed the ability do so _in_ _lieu_ of having a true sense of smell, or if everyone can but most people don't know they can. My sense of taste totally overwhelms my faux sense of smell tho, so I can't use them at the same time. After eating, I can't "smell" anything until my saliva clears.

I'm a hypo-osmiac myself (after some trauma in the past that has severely damaged my olfactory nerves) and I concur. I have also taking to experimenting a lot with flavors, umami, making my own mixes, my own miso varieties etc. as well as raw components such as MSG, inosinate/guanylate and so on. And it has made me a better cook. Family and friends really appreciate it.

This is actual food science. Subscribed on the first view. The most important thing is that you just gave the world a way to make chicken without killing. Thank you for open sourcing your research.

This of amazing, certainly going to do it!

Better yet, make it a modified form of fusarium venenatum, which already makes meat substitute protein. That way you can grow your own meat substitute that is like meat in both flavor and nutrition (although you'd typically still change the texture with things like egg whites, flour, and the structural changes from freezing/thawing to create pseudo-striations). I'm sure yeast is easier to modify, but it would be neat to have the mycoprotein built-in too.
