Hi /sci/, from some time, I'm into fusion cuisine (or molecular gastronomy), (Answer to questions: my post is more into chemistry than normal cooking), and I saw how to do a apple juice foam (add lecitin and whip it), and my question is: what chemistry (or physics) let to make foam? I heard that lecitins help making emulsions, does it have something to it? What use instead for lecitins?

Also if you really give a shit about know why things foam or emulsify, go on wikipedia for the articles "Emulsion" and "Foam". No reason to get us to do your shit for you.

Yes, but some no flavor change. Have idea?

First of all, never call it "Molecular Gastronomy" again. It is the biggest meme ever.

Now, please clarify your question, im not sure what exactly youre asking. Fppd grade alternatives to lecithin include Tweens (polysorbate 20, 40), and certain gums. Depending on the application, one can be suitably chosen. Lecithin is probably the best option however. Visit TIC Gums website - those,guys make a bunch of cool custom stuff for food products. For further reading, look up Fennema's Food Chemistry chapter on proteins.

Lol dude, I asking for using some instead of it, relations between emulsion and foam is a second thing.

Thanks dude, rly thank you

OP, as a former fine dining line cook, I should just be angry that you implied fusion and molecular gastronomy are the same thing. I just got my dick sucked though, so I'm in kind of a good mood.

Molecular gastronomy is that pretentious shit that Paul LeBrant was doing when he ran three restaurants into the ground. Foams and gels of things that aren't usually foams and gels, at around 200 bucks a plate.

Fusion refers to cultural fusion. Korean nachos. Irish ceviche. Mongolian pizza. *Tex-mex*.

Confuse the two in the presence of a chef, and they will show you new depths of humility.

I hope i amswered your question op.

There are also mono and digliceryde esters that work as emulsifiers. There also exists several foaming stabilizers for food related foams (think those frozen key lime,merimhue pies you buy from the store)

Fascinating subject really

You can buy lecithins in supermarkets. Just check every aisle as different stores keep them on different areas. The one closest to me keeps them where the zip lock bags are in a section meant for canning and jarring.

In Poland lecitins can be bought just in Internet, it's shitty country, this is reason why I ask what use instead ;)
