Question: What snacks have you created using hydrogen?

Keywords: ,

  1. Angie, I am not allowed to bring food into the lab. which is a total bummer because I’m hungry all of the time! lol
    I did some research a few years ago that looked at feeding bacteria our rubbish from home and how they MAKE hydrogen and then how we can use and store that hydrogen for fuel. Sothe bacteria was snacking and pooped hydrogen! I sort of answered your question in reverse! hehe sorry
    I read about some research where scientist used hydrogen-reduced iron to increase the content of wheat-based snacks. 🙂

  2. Hey Angie!

    Hmm, I’ve never used hydrogen to make snacks, but I have used carbon dioxide, which is another pretty commonly found gas!

    You can make the honey-comb flavoured snacks by mixing honey and sugar in a hot pan, and then adding bicarb soda. All bicarbonate in the powdering bicarb soda reacts and turns into lots of bubbles on carbon dioxide and makes your honey mixture puff up and go all light and airy!

    So, not hydrogen, I know, but still delicious. : )

  3. Hey angie, I’ve got a trick answer for this tricky question! I haven’t used Hydrogen to make food on its own but… I use water to make food all the time! Cakes, dinners, all sorts of things! And what’s water made of? HYDROGEN (and oxygen). So I use Hydrogen in my snacks every day! 😉

    I’ve also used liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. Have you seen that on Master Chef?
