Group: Food Science: Salt -- 2 experiments: cheese & whip cream. Does cheese wrapped in a salty damp cloth mold slower than cheese not wrapped in a salty damp cloth? Is whip cream made with a pinch of salt different than whip cream not made with a pinch of salt? We'll find out today. Results: Wow! The cheese are in the fridge ready to mold. Which will be last?
The whipping cream whipped slowest when nothing was added. The speeds of whipping when anything was added (salt, sugar & vanilla, or both) were quite similar. The tastes however of the two with salt were salty. The whipped cream with no additive was bland. Three out of four of our scientists preferred the sugared version without salt.
