Kayle Brandon, Kate Rich.

Richard Groves' research had just arrived 
causing quite a stir. The desire to abandon gum for 
another emulsifier is high: some of Richards research
supports this move, however we decide to continue
on the merit of the last mysterious lab success.

The gum was measured into 10g batches at Mina Rd 
Post Office. The woman behind the counter recalls 
a memory of Gum Arabic trees in her neighbourhood 
and how she would avoid climbing them, she seemed 
surprised that gum was in cola and a little 
put off the drink.

One of the main problems we face right now is the
chore of gum grinding and our general mistrust 
in the Acacia Senegal tree sap.

Kate began the process of dissolving the gum in hot
water observing the process something didn't seem
right, the gum was reacting differently to the
previous batch the texture was wrong.
Tasting confirmed it, it was a different strain of
gum ... WE HAVE HAD IT

We decided to continue on the reasoning that
this gum may lead to a greater success of good
emulsification.

RESULT: OIL SLICK
THE WORST NON EMULSIFICATION YET

NEXT: Get emulsifier range for testing
