I really appreciate your detailed and informative video! I just got the things to make this for a fun summer science experiment with my kid and her friends! She's a huge fan of chemistry! ❤️ We watched together and decided it was a must!
Popping Boba! *giggle* This young lady is doing a great job orating the techniques. Her age aside, the script is thorough and it includes steps and curiosities that are often overlooked by professionals presenting the same techniques. I'm hooked.
Is there a way to preserve, or store, the spheres so that they can be sampled at a Science Fair? Or must they be made and tested within a few minutes, so that they do not keep hardening like the outer shell?
Hi - sorry for the delayed reply - you can store the popping boba in the same solution they are made of - e.g. if you use strawberry lemonade, store them in a sealed container with strawberry lemonade. If you store them in water the flavor will diffuse out.
Hate bubble tea. Cant swallow it but when I heard of popping bobba... On a whole another level. It's like a party in my mouth haha. Had to know how it's made and best video to know! Thanks!
Hey kiddo thank you for sharing with us !!!! 💖💖💖 You done such a good job !!!! 💖💖💖 I have a question where can we get the salutations that your mix so we can order some and make this at home 😊💖💖💖
hello, I liked the video very much, my question is, even though I take it out of chlorinated water in 1 minute, the hardening continues, how can I prevent this?
Hi! We're glad you enjoyed the video and have already started experimenting. Getting the technique just right to fit your creative vision can be tricky, but is part of the fun. It definitely requires some experimenting and trial and error. The chemical reaction always continues for a little bit after you remove the sphere from the calcium chloride bath. If you want a less-hardened sphere you can try doing one or more of these things: 1) have the sphere spend less time (not a full minute) in the calcium chloride solution - this will allow less time for the reaction to occur and thus less hardening overall 2) make sure to rinse the spheres off in fresh water immediately after removing from the calcium chloride solution - this will get rid of the reaction occurring on the surface of the sphere 3) try making larger spheres by starting with bigger drops of your food liquid - larger spheres have more volume so less of their contents will be hardened.
Thank you very much for your answer, what kind of water should I leave it in so that I can leave it in the same consistency for a long time in the storage container?
@@yakupfurkankocaoglu8722 You want to store the boba spheres in the solution you used to make the spheres. For example, if you used grape juice to make the spheres, store them in grape juice. This way, the spheres will keep their flavor. If you store them in water, the flavor will dilute, and the spheres lose flavor.
Would it still work, if the liquid, that should sphericade be frozen? That ways you can easier make big and equal bobas, or even special shapes, if you’ve got the fitting ice trays
Yes - you can freeze the liquid before solidifying it. This method is called cryoshperification. It is more commonly applied with the reverse spherification technique but also works for direct spherification. When freezing the liquid, you can use molds to better control the shape and size of the spheres. Then drop the frozen liquid in the gelling bath once they are frozen. The shapes will solidify while starting to thaw.
To make larger boba balls, try to find a syringe or dropper with a wider opening that makes larger drops. If you want to make even larger boba balls, you can use the ladle and teaspoon method. Fill a small ladle with calcium chloride solution and the teaspoon with your alginate mixture. Carefully pour the alginate mixture into the ladle to make a larger sphere. Shaking the ladle a little can help to form the sphere. Once the sphere has formed, place the boba ball in the setting bath and let it solidify for a little longer, about 5 minutes. Take the boba balls out of the solution and rinse them with water.
The popping boba pearls should be stored in the liquid they are made from, so they don't lose their flavor. Put the container with the popping boba in the fridge to make them last longer. It is best to consume the popping boba within 24 hours, but they are probably good for up to a week, depending on the liquids you use to make them.
Hello. I just wanted to ask does it harden (like tapioca pearls) when its old? We did this on our culinary class but the more you not consume it right away, it turns into a solid and not a popping boba anymore
yes; you can also use calcium lactate and sodium alginate for spherification and reverse spherification. See these resources: www.modernistcookingathome.com/basic-spherification/ www.modernistcookingathome.com/calcium-lactate/ The second resource says that in basic spherification it is usually added at a 0.5% ratio, whereas in reverse spherification it is added at a 3.0% ratio. You can use also calcium lactate gluconate.
A written list of ingredients can be found here: www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/FoodSci_p074/cooking-food-science/juice-balls-science-of-spherification?from=TH-cam#materials
The time in the solution is a variable that affects the thickness of the outer skin of the boba because it allows for more time for the chemical reaction to occur between the alginate and calcium. See the video at 6:35 to see the difference the time in the calcium chloride solution makes on the thickness of the outer skin of the boba!
Not all liquids are ideal for direct spherification. You should avoid liquids with a high calcium content as the calcium will interfere with the spherification process. This will lead to a premature solidification of your liquid. The best way to find out if a liquid works for direct spherification is to test it.
Hey, i tried this last night and my boba did not go down and settle. It just gir disolved in the calcium lactate solution, what im i supposed to do? . Or what mistake have i done
Yes; you can also use calcium lactate and sodium alginate for spherification and reverse spherification. See these resources: www.modernistcookingathome.com/basic-spherification/ www.modernistcookingathome.com/calcium-lactate/ The second resource says that in basic spherification it is usually added at a 0.5% ratio, whereas in reverse spherification it is added at a 3.0% ratio. You can use also calcium lactate gluconate.
This recipe did not work for us. It says 2 g to 1 cup when other recipes says 5 g so going to see if that is the issue. We used elderberry syrup, honey syrup, and chocolate almond milk. Only the elderberry syrup created a gel outside but was nothing like popping boba.
I tried to make this and it works nice But I ended up adding a little too much of sodium alginate. What should I do Throw it or is there something I can do to make use of it
The sodium alginate concentration in the direct spherification reaction doesn’t have to be exact. Usually, for direct spherification a sodium alginate concentration of 0.5% to 1% is used. The sodium alginate concentration in Science Buddies’ experimental procedure is about 0.8% (2 grams in 1 Cup/237mL). As sodium alginate is a gelling agent, the more alginate you add to your food or liquid, the thicker the liquid gets in the gel sphere. If you added too much alginate to your liquid, you could add more of your liquid/food to adjust the alginate concentration. The spherification reaction should still work, though.

Hello can I use tri sodium citrate, I couldn't find ones without 'tri'
Where do I get the chemical powders?
Please see the link in the video description for instructions on our site with links to the materials.
I wonder if you could use an Adjustable Pipettor gun to get the precise amount of squeeze per ball
How long can I store the food+sodium alginate mixture?

But what do you use to make bugger sizes? I'm lost on that part😭
Use a dropper with a wider hole. You could even try a turkey baster.
Turkey’s basers are hard because they make it easier to make noodles
The flavor you made of coke was small, how do you make the big one? The red one was bigger. I wanted to do that 😢

We recommend refrigerating the test foods for at least two hours before starting the experiment.
