    jickC8 tbh they probably just freeze dry the actual product and break it down into powdered form. Heston Blumenthal did the same thing with Indian dishes when he wanted to make a specific seasoning for his naan bread.

    It is just powder getting mixed. No freezedrying or fancy stuff, it would obviously be too expensive.

    The "culinary gold standard" is a clever tactical framing that distracts from how many concentrated powdered flavorants are used to make the actual chips.

    This is an 8 minute interview with a guy making fried chicken. It was interesting but I think based on the title everyone came to see how the meal became the powder, not just that PepsiCo can afford to make really good fried chicken.

    Based from my Experience working in a Snack Industry. The real powder comes a long way from "fresh food" For example if you want barbecue powder, you research on the actual barbecue, what you can taste from it ie: Tomato, Sugar, Paprika, Acid,etc. You can actually mix in based on what you tasted. For example, I would add Tomato Powder, Fine caster Sugar, Paprika Powder, Citric Acid, and so on. We don't actually use Real Fresh Product and grind it to paste, we substitute until it tastes similar, not the same but similar. CMIIW but I have experience in this field.

    what i think - he said lasers are pointed and they capture the flavour profile using computers to figure out what compounds build the dish, then that data is given to a team that would try and replicate that data by coming up with a dressing for the chip using various powders and oils that are essentially just concentrated versions of those compounds mixed together to the right amount to get the taste exactly the same.
