Final Results.

Ok, so this is what my little babies (LOL) looked like after they had dried.

I took some pictures on the morning before I went to school:

The one which had 25mL of vinegar. I accidentally labelled it as 20 but you get my drift 8]
As you can see, it obtained a distinctive yellow colour but hadn't turned all the way yellow.

The 50mL one. It has no yellow colouring effect and is harder than the aforementioned blob ;]

The 100mL of vinegar blob. It's pretty much white and was harder than both of the previous ones. It also had a more distinctive smell. (yeah I actually smelt this stuff)

Then when I came back home (like at 8:00?) I took a picture of all of them so you can directly compare them

Um yeah, just ignore the stuff on my table. The most yellow looking one is the one with 25mL, the whitest one was the 100mL. The 25mL was the softest and the 100mL one the hardest when I applied pressure to them with my finger. The 50mL casein was of course harder than the 25mL, but softer than 100mL. The 25mL vinegar casein also had a relatively faint smell of vinegar, while 50mL had a more distinct smell and the 100mL with the smelliest odour.

Well, I'm glad I've finally compelted my experiment, now all I need to do is write it up. Yay~
I still have my casein in my room, but I don't want to throw it out. T___T

Something which I should have mentioned....

Ok well, you know how I was doing the experiment before? My parents happened to see me (well, more specifically my dad) and he asked me why I was making some of this curry dessert thing called mishti. And I was giving him the O-o face and then I realised that it was true. Then he started laughing at me.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure if you're not of Bengali/Indian/etc background you'll have no idea what it is, so I tried researching it.
Well, in Bengali, "mishti" literally means "sweet" in English. You can have a large variation in the way they are made so you can get different shapes, colours and tastes.
For example, the ones below are white and black(yes I know they're not black but we just call them that) mishtis.

I don't know what it looks like to non-Bengali people, but omg, this looks so yummy. X.X
I searched up some recipes for it on the internet and instead of using vinegar, they use lemon juice. Which also has acidic properties so naturally casein would form. (http://indianfood.about.com/od/sweetsanddesserts/r/chamcham.htm)

So, I thought that this is one of the things that I could put in my introduction. I could say that my research could help maximise the quality of the mishti? Or something like that. 8D

--------- I just realised when I use the term "curry" I mean people like Bengalis/Indians/Pakistanis. I'm not sure if this is racist, but I use it all the time and I know heaps of other people who use it too... Anyway, just know that I'm not reffering tothe curry that you eat with rice. Yeah, that spicy thing. Totally does not go with dessert. LOL.

What the Casin Looks Like..

Okay, I'M sorry for not updating this earlier but here is what the casein looks like.

I put it on a tissue on my table in my room. As you can see it there is like, seriously NOTHING.  And maybe I did the experiment wrong but it doesn't even seem like plastic... it's yellow and hard but not really like plastic to me, more like some type of hard dough. Anyway, I'm treating my failed experiment as a "practice experiment" in preparation for the real thing. Hopefully my new one won't be such a disaster!!

Before I start my Experiment

So before I started I thought that I would take pictures of my awesome vinegar and milk.

HOME BRAND IS DA BOMB. not






I'm sorry to my other equipment, because they're not good enough to be photographed separately. Ah well, I'll photograph them later while I'm doing my experiment.
I have everything ready and I'm about to do it now so wish me luck~ (although you're probably reading this after I actually did my experiment)



If you look really closely, you can see a picture of me when I was little with my mum ;D
