Stable Flavour Emulsion for Soda Syrups and Non Alcoholic Drinks

If you want to make a great flavour for soda, syrups or non-alcoholic spirits then emulsions are something you need to know about. They are also important for anyone who wants to work with flavourings but needs a non-alcoholic method, which this is.

Just a comment, mayonnaise is technically an oil in water emulsion with substantially more oil than water. It is the relative paucity of the continuous phase that makes the emulsion thick.

Been waiting so long for this one. Amazing content!

le plaisir et les notes que je prends, I mean this is gold, thank you so much for these awwwwesome videos!!!

[joebine]

With what do you bring up to volume?? Distilled water?? 🫡💯thank you so much for the time and energy and knowledge you spread ✌️😎

[arctic]

Great video thank you. I would love to combine these ideas with the energy drink video! :)

As always, awesome video Darcy !

Quick question, will you ever make a video on cocktail foamers using polysorbate 80? It’s a surfactant so I figured it could be used to make cocktail foamers diy.

[maghteridon]

Amazing video! :) Thanks for everything you do.

Great video, and I'm glad to have signed up for your Patreon. Since you mention Buchner funnels: I purchased the vacuum filtration kit from hBARSCI for doing this kind of filtering, and their kit works very poorly. The pump works well, but almost all of the vacuum pressure is lost within the flask-funnel setup. I can generate 60 psi by plugging the pump outlet and pumping once, but I can't generate more that 5 psi attached to the flask. The process is only slightly faster than coffee filters and gravity. Can you suggest a Buchner setup that actually works?

[McRootbeer]

Awesome! Is this how they add flavors to electrolyte powders?

[josefmicallef]

So in all, emulsification is important because it makes the drink more palatable? Also, can you emulsify essential oil, water and extracts as well?

[gokhankunduraci]

Hello again Darcy, Shall we add sodium benzoate to the emulsion for shelf life? Have you tried citric acid or sodium benzoate before?
Regards

the mention about how the patreon donors impact the content was nice :)

I've been wondering why magnesium carbonate is the preferred salt for these processes. Is there any reason why calcium carbonate would not work just as well?

[Armen]

Hey all I have the syrup for my drink perfected . Do I still need to go thru the commercial formulation? That is expensive and as a start up I want to avoid unnecessary costs. Can I skip the commercial formulation and go directly to co packer?

[HyunAYuchi]

Does Magnesium Carbonate affect the flavor of the concentrate or the final product? Wouldn't a person who has good taste buds taste the chalkiness?
Does any of the polysorbates give a soapy taste? I've tasted some yogurt that has a soapy taste, maybe they used some kind of soapy emulsifier.

If I understand the point here, you have just made an essence using water, emulsified essential oils using the technique demoed, and depending on the essence you just made, you would now be adding that to a simple syrup for example to flavor a soda—-all without the use of alcohol which was the goal. Do I have that right?

[gregmartinetti]

So what is the difference in end results from emulsification with something like polysorbates versus making an essense with alcohol?

The chemist in me is screaming that the terpenes you seperated from the water alcohol layer in the essence video have to now be a different flavor profile as a result of the seperation than using this method which encompasses all the terpenes.

So I guess my question is if I make an orange oil essence with alcohol, water and glycerin and then make an emulsion with orange oil like this video, how will the ending flavors differ? Is one method going to be more desireable than the other?

It hurts me to know that drink just got tossed instead of fixed....
