That is pretty awesome! Good job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-844541 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:38:09 +0000 anbanan15 844541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I tried this out today! I think it turned out pretty good given my first try. I think I can get a "clearer" product next time, although it does look clearer IRL. </p> <p>I had a little issue getting the amount of agar right so I just guessed (my gram scale wasn't working). Also my yield wasn't that good since the nut bag I initially used was like 200 micron and I lost a lot when I transferred to using 3 layers of muslin, which worked out so much better! Overall I'm pleased with the results. </p> <p>The first picture is the pineapple juice itself. The second one is after running it through my nut bag to remove some of the pulp before agar clarification. You can see there really isn't much difference here although the nut bag was clogged with pulp! The last picture is after clarification. IRL you can see through it much more.</p> <p>[attach=482/13/mo6orm.600x448.photo-10-.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=482/13/mo6oro.600x448.photo-9-.JPG] </p> [attach=482/13/mo6oy3.600x448.photo-11-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842364 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:56:38 +0000 T-Mom 842364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: wow I have never heard of that but I was thinking the garden variety nori snacks :-) . Or kelp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842299 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:27:17 +0000 anbanan15 842299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks! I really want to do Salicornia, but I can't find it around here (I have a craving for it haha). He loves kale/kale chips which to me has a similar taste/texture to some sea veggies so he might just go for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842289 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:23:12 +0000 T-Mom 842289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I hope he does ok with it! If so, maybe you could expand and try other sea plants.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842279 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:11:12 +0000 anbanan15 842279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I think so too! I saw someone did it with orange juice too! He hasn't had any type of seaweed before. We have been wanting to trial agar for awhile, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I guess last week was a big enough push to try. He did fine with it yesterday, but it usually takes a few days to know for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842271 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:06:59 +0000 T-Mom 842271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anbanan15: Cool sounds like a neat technique.. Is he ok with seaweeds and the like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842265 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:04:12 +0000 anbanan15 842265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Yes! It is supposed to trap the solids (color and impurities) and then leave you with the good stuff! Hopefully it works because straining the pulp alone still left me with a cloudy juice. We made vegan "jello" yesterday with the agar and DS seemed to love it, but won't touch the stuff today :( I have to make sure he is okay with the agar first but I'm super excited to see if it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842248 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:56:51 +0000 T-Mom 842248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but sounds intriguing ! So does the agar capture the solids and you are left with juice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/agar-clarification#post-842213 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:29:36 +0000 anbanan15 842213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used this technique before to clarify juice? </p> <p>It looks like I might be able to use agar clarification in order to make a "clear" pineapple juice for DS's procedure, but I was just wondering if anyone has actually tried it here? </p>
