associate fast food with the cause of obesity. I truly believe that one can eat fast food yet still be “thin” and healthy. The cause of obesity depends on one’s diet and lifestyle.

Placing fruit in a bag will help hasten the ripening for only a few fruits. Most fruits will not ripen (ever) once they have been picked. The only fruits that ripen once they’re picked are bananas‚ avocados‚ pears‚ mango‚ and kiwifruit.

Fruit Glue While the idea of gluing fruit together may sound novel‚ it was pointed out that the process is nothing more than an extrapolation of a fruit terrine.

Especially when we look beyond using just gelatin‚ which is the traditional bonding agent in fruit terrines and only effective at cold temperatures. Instead‚ we were inspired by the synergy of hydrocolloids. The first combination of ingredients

ABSTRACT A Fruit battery is a device used in experiments proposed in many science textbooks around the world. It is made by inserting two different metallic objects‚ for example a galvanized nail and a copper coin‚ into an ion bridge (for example a lemon‚ a potato or paper soaked in salt water or acid). The copper coin serves as the positive electrode or cathode and the galvanized nail as the electron-producing negative electrode or anode. These two objects work as electrodes‚ causing anelectrochemical
