They'll stink of other things of course (anyone for agar plates?

I did a run through of the prac today & it works a treat, so I thought I'd say thanks, & also share a couple of things I found out after fiddling around with it.
The set up used 7 x 50mL measuring cylinders, & standard 20vol/6% H2O2, 6mL each of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6% H2O2 going into them.
I added 3mL of the capsicum extract one at a time & got the following mL of foam after 1 minute:
0% = 0mL
1% = 18mL
2% = 20mL
3% = 34mL
4% = 38mL
5% = 40mL
6% = 52mL
I tried a couple of times & these were the best results, because it seemed to work best by using cold H2O2 straight out of the fridge & cold water as well for the dilutions which is odd. The first run through I did used a new bottle of H2O2 that I left out on the bench to come to room temp, but that didn't work as well. I thought enzyme pracs worked best at room temp or body temp, but cold seemed to do the trick for the capsicum.

Also, I found that you get a bunch more capsicum extract if you take the pulp out of the sieve after filtering it & squeeze it through muslin. More bang for your capsicum buck

I'm very pleased to be a newbie member of such an awesome portal, & I hope I can return the favour by posting some of our successful recipes etc, as well as really bad jokes, down the track
