Almost all varieties of confectionery, liqueurs and drinks require the use of food coloring (food coloring)which should be absolutely harmless and have no taste. The purpose of paints is to give the product an appropriate appearance. Mineral paints should never be used in the production of food and flavor products. Paints in the food industry should be prepared from harmless plant materials. confectionery paint

Usually, to obtain one or another shade, three primary colors are used: red, yellow and blue. So, for example, orange is obtained by mixing red with yellow, green - yellow with blue, violet - blue with red, etc. Carmine is usually used as a red paint. Carmine is dissolved in water with the addition of ammonia.

For yellow, take turmeric root. Turmeric itself has an unpleasant smell, but with a long boil it disappears. Turmeric should be used predominantly in canary color. For blue paint, indigo carmine is used. Pure blue is rarely used in food production. It goes only to obtain different shades of other colors. Burnt sugar is usually used as brown paint - the so-called sugar cooler. The juice of various berries is also used as paints.

Making cochineal dye hot

  • Best quality cochineal 50 g;
  • Tartar 100 g;
  • Burnt alum 40 g;
  • Potash peeled 30 g

The cochineal ground in a mortar is sifted through a very fine sieve, and the remains are ground again until all the cochineal is sifted through the sieve. Separately crushed, without sifting, alum. Pour 1 liter of distilled or rain water into a brass cauldron, put on moderate heat and let the water boil. Crushed cochineal is poured into the cauldron, while boiling, cream of tartar is added and the cauldron is removed from the fire. Then crushed alum is added, kneaded with a wooden spatula, put the cauldron on fire again to obtain complete dissolution of all components, and all the time they are carefully monitored so that the liquid only boils, but does not boil.

Then the cauldron is removed from the fire a second time, a quarter of the potash is added and carefully mixed, as the liquid will begin to swell strongly; in three doses add the remaining three quarters of potash in the same way. Thoroughly mix the resulting paint and filter it under pressure through the matter into a substituted vessel. 1 kg of crushed sugar is placed in the cauldron, filtered paint is added and boiled, the paint is poured into a vessel, allowed to cool, the bottles are filled and corked. Store in a cool place. A tinned cauldron is unsuitable for the above method of preparing paint, since the paint in it acquires a bluish color.

Making cochineal dye cold

  • Cochineal 50 g;
  • Tartar 80 g;
  • Burnt alum 40 g;
  • Potash purified 30 g;
  • Boers 10

Cochineal is crushed and sifted as described in the previous case, and poured into a porcelain or glass mortar, with a capacity of 0,5 liters. Add a little water and grind the paint, which has the appearance of a solid mass, with a pestle until a very fine powder is obtained. A little more water is added and again triturated until an even finer powder is obtained. Crushed cream of tartar and a little water are added, without ceasing to grind all the time.

Gradually add, with careful grinding, the remaining components, constantly adding as much water as necessary so that the paint remains hard, but easily rubbed. When the paint is so crushed that there is not a single unground grain in it, a little more water and 200 g of powdered sugar are added to it, which is well rubbed into the paint for 15-20 minutes. At the end, if necessary, add a little more water so that the paint is not so hard as when rubbed, let it stand in a mortar and store in a cool place.

Purplish-red dye from lacono juice

Ripe berries are placed in a cauldron and boiled over moderate heat with a little water. The boiled mass is filtered through a sieve, poured into the cauldron and 600 g of crushed sugar are added for each liter of juice. Cook with constant stirring with a wooden spoon until the sample, poured onto a plate and cooled, begins to be covered with a thin film, then the juice is poured from the boiler into glass jars and stored in a cold place.

Red beet paint

  • Red beets 3 kg;
  • Weak vinegar 2 kg.

Washed beets are scalded with boiling water or placed in a not very hot oven until they become soft. Peeled and cut into small pieces, beets are poured with vinegar and left to stand for 24 hours. Strain, squeeze out the residue and evaporate half the volume. The same amount of wine alcohol or sugar syrup is added to the resulting juice.

Red blueberry paint

1 kg of fresh blueberries is crushed in a wooden mortar and 2 kg of wine alcohol is added to the resulting mass. Insist for 5-7 days, after which the mass is subjected to heating in a distillation cube to distill alcohol. With alcohol, the smell of blueberries disappears. The residue is poured over with water, boiled, the liquid is filtered and concentrated to the desired consistency by evaporation.

yellow paint

1st recipe:

  • Turmeric powder 200 g;
  • Wine alcohol 1 l.

2st recipe:

  • Saffron 200 g;
  • Wine alcohol 2 l;

Insist and the extracted color is mixed with sugar syrup.

  • Chlorophyll 10 g;
  • Wine spirit 90° 250 g.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Liam F1 Silent Wind Turbine 16.06.2014

The Archimedes has completed testing of wind turbines for a new type of wind turbine. The peculiarity of these turbines is that they can be installed on the roofs of residential buildings.

The Liam F1 wind turbine is unique in its quietness and energy efficiency. Conventional turbines quite often do not pay for installation costs, but a new type of turbine should solve this problem. As for the noise level, the new turbine is only 45 dB, which is quieter than the sound of rain.

Just like a weather vane, the turbine turns after the wind, "captures" the air flow, gradually reducing its speed and changing direction.

According to Marinus Miremet, technical director of The Archimedes and the inventor of the turbine, the development efficiency reaches 80% of the theoretical maximum accepted in wind energy.

In the Netherlands, one family consumes an average of about 3300 kWh of electricity per year. According to The Archimedes, the turbine they have created is capable of covering almost half of this need if the wind speed reaches at least 4,5 m / s. Estimated installation cost - 3999 euros. The Archimedes plans to use Liam turbines not only as domestic wind turbines, but also to power marine vessels.
