Oct 13, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Willy Wonka gum may not remain a fictional concept in the coming days with the development of a breakthrough technology that resorts to microscopic capsules to release various flavors simultaneously. The Norwich based Institute of Food Research’s scientists are going to implement this technology. Dave Hart, the Food scientist Professor has come up with a boiled layered sweet that is capable of changing flavor. He said in an interview that the fantasy concoction of Wonka is something millions of children across the world has dreamt about. By chewing these gums a person can get three distinct flavors one after the other. Before chewing the flavors remain distinct from one another.
The food researchers in the USA are also trying to come up with similar gums in near future. Tony Dinsmore a Physics professor in the University of Massachusetts has developed a technique which allow the flavor molecules to be captured separately inside the capsules. Fictional as it may sound, the person who chews the gum will get the flavor of tomato soup at first bite. If he chews the gum further he may get the flavor of roast beef. After chewing more vigorously he will get the flavor of blueberry pie. This may sound straight out of a science fiction film but the day is not far when one can see such gums getting sold from retail stores.
The developments in food technology is slowly altering the way people eat food. The news has made the Willy Wonka gum excited and some of them have already posted their comments on the social metalworking accounts.
