Mugaritz Pectinase Apple

5 g pectinase

25 g water

1 red apple

Salt

This recipe from Mugaritz uses pectinase to break down the pectin in apples. Since enzymes have very specific targets, only the pectin is broken up. The flavors of the raw apple are preserved. Breaking down the pectin also breaks down its cell walls and exposes the polyphenol oxidase to oxygen, causing browning.

How Can I tell if Meat is Good Quality?

We tend to believe that the freshest, most flavorful red meat is bright cherry-red, but is this always the case? Ask your butcher for their tastiest cut, and you might be shown one with a darker hue that has been aged over time to create a deeper flavor and more tender texture.

The Process of Sous Vide

Heat from the water bath penetrates the food's surface from all directions. The airless bag stops moisture entering or leaving and the core of the food gradually reaches the same temperature as the edges, so there's no temperature gradient.

Is it Better to Eat Vegetables Raw?

Cooking has a mixed effect on nutrients, destroying vitamins and antioxidants in some foods, while increasing them in others. To optimize health, it's important to eat a variety of cooked and raw vegetables.

An Essential Guide to Pots and Pans

The type of metal you choose for your cookware affects how food cooks, but more important is a pan's thickness: the thicker the base, the more evenly the heat from the burner spreads across it.

How do I Chop an Onion without Crying?

Damage to onion cells results in their releasing an irritating gas called the lachrymatory factor, intended to ward off animals and insects. Once this gas reaches the surface of your eyes, it reacts with water on your eyeballs and turns into sulfuric acid, among other irritating chemicals.

The Three Stages of Cake Baking

A cake goes through three stages of baking. The first stage is the rising phase, when the sweet batter inflates. In the second stage, the cake solidifies, fixing in place the hollows, or bubbles, that have formed in the batter. A bake ends with the third, 'browning' stage.

Pectin in Fruit Cells

Accounting for less than 1 percent of the fruit, pectin is concentrated in the core, seeds, and skin. It degrades as fruits age, so overly ripe fruit makes poor-quality jam. Fruits such as blackberries are high in pectin, Some, such as cherries and pears, have lower levels, so extra needs to be added during the jam-making process.

Heston Blumenthal, The Fat Duck, Bray, Berkshire

"Foodpairing (or flavor pairing, as I usually call it) is now such a familiar part of the culinary landscape you might think it has always been there. In fact, though, it didn’t exist at all until the 1990s, when I started exploring whether there might be some underlying reason why certain food combinations worked so well together. At this stage, no other chefs were looking into this, nor was there any obvious route to follow – I was guided by my instincts and my curiosity, piecing things together as best I could.

One key step came from talking to friends of mine [in the scientific community]. I noticed that, if I asked them about particular combinations of ingredients, they often consulted a database called Volatile Compounds in Food (VCF) to see if they had compounds in common.

Dark chocolate

Chocolate is a sweet, satisfying blend of roasted, nutty, caramel flavors, with trace amounts of natural stimulants like caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamine and anandamide.

Compared to milk chocolate, dark chocolate is complex and bitter, with a pronounced flavor profile made up of fruity, floral, roasted, caramel, spicy and woody notes. In some cases, you may even detect green aromatic notes of oat flakes or a vegetal bell-pepper-like nuance. These vegetal links allow for some unexpected pairings, like chocolate with asparagus, beetroot, bell peppers, broccoli, butternut squash, cucumbers, parsnips, peas, potatoes and tomatoes – imagine a smooth, creamy chocolate mousse accompanied by fresh strawberries and sweet roasted red bell peppers.

Blueberry

Blueberries have a delicately sweet, fruity flavor, and bluish-purple anthocyanins give them a healthy antioxidant boost. Maturity at harvest is the most important factor when it comes to the quality and flavor of blueberries since neither can be improved once the fruit has been picked.

The floral, citrusy flavor of blueberries comes from the molecules geraniol and citronellol. In this concentration, the floral-scented geraniol molecules take on a fruity nuance, while the citronellol adds a citrusy touch. The floral, rose-like scents of blueberries pair beautifully with lychee, apple, raspberry, tomato and beetroot. The berries’ distinct citrus scent provides a natural link to oranges, lemongrass, fresh coriander, bay leaves, huacatay (Peruvian black mint) and certain gins.

Spanish chorizo

It is no surprise that the flavorful seasonings in chorizo make up much of its aroma profile. In the case of Spanish chorizo, smoked paprika gives the meat an intensely smoky, phenolic character, together with green and vegetal bell-pepper-like notes. Meanwhile, its roasted notes have a meaty nuance, while ingredients like garlic and onions add their own sulphurous aroma molecules to the mix.

We also find acids and other fruity aroma descriptors and floral notes in Spanish chorizo that are derived from the fermentation process and the degradation of lipids. Fruity peach and coconut lactones may be a result of either the smoking process or the oxidation of lipids.

Can you control garlic’s intensity by the way you cut it?

Garlic’s signature burn is released when its cell walls are cut into. Whole garlic will impart mild flavor; garlic crushed into a paste will deliver the strongest punch.

Does alcohol burn off when cooked?

Quick processes like flambe eliminate only about 25% of alcohol, while long-simmering can remove almost all of it.

Does searing a steak seal in the juices?

No, but it does develop delicious flavors through a process called the Maillard reaction.

User questions & answers

Question:	Cuantas piezas vienen
Answer:	12
Question:	How much crude fat is in this food
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The fat content in this food is 12.3% on a dry matter basis. Hill's Pet Nutrition
Question:	Does anybody know how many calories are in one can of this dog food
Answer:	291 Kcal per cup. Vet can determine how many calories per pounds needed for the dog (depending on breed and age who is at a normal weight). Then how many calories needed to help with weight reduction.
Question:	What is the % of protein, fat, and carbohydrate
Answer:	First know there are 2 different canned formulas. Chicken and Vegetable Entree (2975) and Hearty Vegetable & Chicken Stew (10125). On Amazon, I have only found the latter. Although my dog prefers the former (ground/pate) variety. Carbs are not on the cans. Chicken and Vegetable Entree (2975): 5.5% Protein (55p/kg), Fat 2.0% (20g/kg), Fiber 4% (40g/kg), Moisture 78% (780g/kg). Hearty Vegetable & Chicken Stew (10125): Protein 4.5% (40p/kg). Fat 1.5% (15g/kg), Fiber 4% (40g/kg), Moisture 84% (840g/kg). He loves it. He gets half dry Perfect Weight and half canned Perfect Weight 2x per day. It has been a great and healthy food for him, he lost weight and is stable and hearty. (Yorkshire Terrier 11y/o) It is very difficult to find on Amazon even though I have requested it. It arrived almost a week late. But, the Hill's Science Diet Website shows both versions are in production and the big pet retailers appear to have both. My local pet store Spoiled Brats in NY, NY 10033 will order anything I need. So, I prefer to purchase from the 'little guy' locally.
