Could microbes solve the chocolate tempering dilemma for amateur bakers?
In short: This video explores how researchers are using protein-assembling microbes to engineer super-strong muscle fibers, and how related scientific breakthroughs might eventually eliminate the difficult process of tempering chocolate.
While much of the focus in protein engineering involves creating super-strong fibers from muscle proteins using specialized microbes, new research suggests a culinary application. Scientists are investigating methods that could potentially remove the need for tempering, a notoriously difficult stage of chocolate production that often frustrates amateur bakers.
