Hard Candy Chemistry!

[@malaleche240]

what kind of acid is that?

[@greygrey644]

😏

[@LilPepeLOL]

Lsd lemon drops

[@unknown-gk8pf]

Malic acild

[@unknown-gk8pf]

Imagine it was not edible

[@LifeWithAlliDaily]

Wow. Makes me understand a bit more. I made candy from isomalt but poured it directly into my mold and the next day they look like they are melted.

[@heidbrain]

after it has hardened to the glass state, can it be heated again to soften or melt it?

[@remixmanremix]

very nice video!! I really did not know how to make hard candy as yoy did, thank you!!!

[@rahulmamtora]

What will be the difference, with or without adding corn syrup?

[@1015teetee]

I want to do this at home!

[@Slartibartfass13]

@googolplexbyte Yeah, they should've used SI units.

[@MuskanKhan-wi3ip]

I want to ask you about making candy....how do you make candy hard? I make a candy of liquid glucose but it is melted.....so can you tell me what do I do to make the candy hard?

[@yousufzeeshan2008]

Please I have also a request for u please please please tell to muskan khan please how to harden a candy🙏

[@kashaali9689]

Ya I don't know to melt glucose water and sugar

[@arifkamal2940]

Thanks now I do actually understand it more!

[@janiceli551]

I guess it would be better if the flavoring is added during the boiling process

[@kameljoe21]

No you add it at the end other wise you will boil out the flavor. You can also stretch this as well to give better color and put air in to the mix which makes for a better candy.

[@anitamiller2836]

I hope you can help me, is there anyway I can reserve hard candy and a craft project?

[@johncaviness9241]

Where can I get copper pans like that

[@Luulinda33]

I luv how the candy came out the rollers

[@mastercandies7426]

Why use liquid glucose? I don't know different corn syrup and liquid glucose.

[@heraldloshi1864]

Can one use sugarcane juice,instead of crystal sugar?

[@dianedegener3749]

Why does my sugar turn golden color as it’s cooking. I keep it on a low heat but at 160 degrees it starts to turn color?

[@JerBearTeo]

Quick question - would Hollywood effects sugar glass be made this way?

[@emilyb_823]

What can I use and when to give it more shelf life and stop from melting ?

[@kashaali9689]

Sir what is tha amount to be taken and its ingredients done?

[@rrrrr5102006]

Weights or measures of the ingredients ?? Also was that Citric acid ?

[@r1gilk3nt]

Thats what Im sayin lol

[@CoCoMarshmellow]

Tumble the candy in powdered sugar (icing sugar).

[@animegirl17]

why did you add acid??? Really wanna know that one.

[@slipperydick]

It's citric acid, it adds taste to the candy! I've watched several of these candy videos and all have used it, one person said that even if the candy was banana flavoured it wouldn't taste that good unless you added citric acid.

[@alisonknight5371]

Citric acid adds sour taste. The more you use, the more intense the sour flavor

[@berylvaughan]

acid prevents the formation of crystals. It keeps the candy from tasting gritty--i.e. full of sugar crystals instead of a smooth syrup.

[@secretadmirerfashion]

How to make hard candy for last with 2 year expiration date? without melted affect?

[@wesleyverity7310]

Where can I get one of those mold crank

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

You can also get the color and flavor with Kool Aid powder.

[@mytv3351]

Is that an induction cook top? If o, I need to cook candy to a hard crack (300 degrees), how would I utilize the induction? It usually takes about an hour to reach 300 degrees so that the water boils out. If the induction unit is cooking faster, how will I know if it has achieved the hard crack needed for hard candy? Thank for your assistance!

[@celinesimon1184]

i need your help were can i purchase on line the spray to harden the sugar piece so it dont get sticky please send me the link thank you so much keep up the good work

[@MattLeandro]

Where can these machines be purchased? I've looked all over the web but can seem to find any for sale.

[@presiladsouza7371]

Whts the ingredients count??

[@nabinsherpa2820]

Please I need this machine.help me sir how should I buy ?

[@tebogomasike]

Why acid?

[@monicalee93]

well citric acid is commonly used in candy making to make it sour, so yea, acid

[@jeffpowell860]

why did you not evenly disperse the flavoring and coloring?

[@QuenzaNC]

I wish he would've answered this question

[@RudeDudeMikeTMTheRudeDudes]

He obviously did, just not on camera. The mass is very light colored when he adds the coloring and flavoring. Then it cuts to the mass being much darker, implying that he worked the additions into the candy.

[@moonbee03]

Thank you Richard. Do you have some website you can recommend where good, but second hand (less expansive) mould machines and probably a small tumbler barrel can be purchased? A lot of people are using silicone moulds lately.... do you think this would avoid having to tumble the candy to get rid of the sharp edges? Also, I have been looking into copper pots... I have read that actually cooking in copper pots that do not have a stainless steel barrier between the cooper and the food is bad... is this true? I must say I agree with other people here... the teeth chomping down on every cut... is quite annoying... Not intended to be a rude comment though!

[@denim8932]

can I get measurements for the ingredients?

[@flizbarg]

Would be watchable if some "artiste" wannabee hadn't been allowed to inflict their ultra-cuteness on it...

[@pje2453]

Once the candy is done, how do you keep them from sticking to each other?

[@mozhistmk]

It depends on the relative humidity. Keep it in low humid area, or pack immediately.

[@MrQasim36]

which acid is added during cooling

[@slipperydick]

Citric acid

[@krizzdolor2081]

Ingredients please

[@THE.HAPPY.CHAVOCADO]

Can you use food coloring?

[@janiceli551]

You can use printer color ink I've tried once and unexpectedly I'm still alive until now

[@thembamatela9287]

wat acid is that?

[@alisonknight5371]

themba matela citric acid for sour flavor

[@thembamatela9287]

thanks mate..

[@johnbarrett5229]

This video is the most UN scientific candy making video I've found. What kind of pan? What kind of thermometer? Ingredient AMOUNTS? I give you a C- Doctor Hartel.

[@janiceli551]

I give you an E- john barrett You've got your mobile device and wifi but you don't even spend a minute to search it with Google?? And you think you're a master and has enough qualifications to speak like a boss when you know nothing about candy making Please suck up your mouth with candy Thanks

[@sharilyn8262]

Measurements? Social distancing. Good a time as any to try this.

[@fung8952]

hello~~~ y my candy still sticky when i finished....

[@splodium]

Davina wong - cook it longer

[@christsidereptableslastday7778]

🙏🏾Thanks

[@GostosoSPbr]

Nice !!!

[@ILIK3HATERZ]

Corn syrup isn't that a product of Corn ?

[@AdvicefromDad]

Why would you use fabric gloves with sticky candy? You know it left micro fibers all over it. Oh yeah, Hairy Lemon Drops!

[@user-od3kt3ky6b]

Candy doesn’t make sense fun. Science just makes candy boring.

[@aitutakiepetoma1]

Yummy!!!

[@MexicanGirlinBoston]

ACID? He said ACID? :O

[@jogarvizah2731]

Or psilocybin. Take your pick 😄

[@r1gilk3nt]

yea maaaaaaaaaan

[@r1gilk3nt]

He added "acid". >.>

[@messitup]

not scientific at all, didnt explain what the stages are best for, didn't say if it was citric or ascorbic acid, and your candy is way too wet. its gonna be sticky and soft. can already tell by the look of it when it dropped on the sheet tray. a real candy maker rather than some phd would have done a much better job. go watch them.

[@Luulinda33]

He seems nice

[@RTDRyan]

Ok.

[@Ellsiebell]

Cool, but the chomping teeth are very irritating!

[@pby1000]

Agreed. Totally unnecesary.

[@uluru7730]

from GTIIT

[@jesebsp]

i need those gloves.

[@m0nty90]

amazing a chemist who doesn't give a shit about Stoichiometry, why you didn't tell the maximum amount of water to crystallize?

[@lelanddyke8386]

1. Because he doesn't want it to crystallize 2. Because the all the water boils off before the sugar gets to temp anyway

[@eleanorcoward7904]

yum

[@particle_p]

Great video, interesting science. The tooth-chomping animation was distracting and annoying, though. Can't win 'em all?

[@googolplexbyte]

WTF is Fahrenheit?

[@katlodipeba3399]

Temperature

[@VyvienneEaux]

STOP! You've made 200 times more hard candy than anyone wants to eat!

[@kittenangelbaby3953]

chomp! lol

[@sterotiago2891]

Ambiguous very unprofessional

[@scasey1960]

Sound effects are absolutely idiotic.
