Independent fansite for the BBC's show looking at the science behind many of our modern foodstuffs
Jimmy Doherty tries to crack the secret recipe of cola manufacturers by attempting to make his own version of the fizzy drink, using such unlikely ingredients as lavender and coriander, as he continues his quest to uncover the secrets lurking in the contents of the supermarket trolley.
Jimmy builds his own production line in order to work out how you turn a humble potato into a hoop-shaped snack you can fit on your finger. He’s also in for a special treat at the world’s biggest ice-cream factory, where he discovers why it is the only frozen food you can eat straight from the freezer.
A visit to the UK’s largest crisp factory is also on tonight’s menu as Jimmy discovers how they make sure every crisp is crunchy.
Jimmy’s Food Factory is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC’s High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

A blatant ad for probably the worst, mass produced crisps money can by
You forgot to mention the hydrocolloids and di/mono glycerides which go into ice cream to emulsify the two phases.
Oh and don’t forget unilevers patented fish protein, actually found in sea pout blood, which is used to minimise ice crystal growth, thankfully thats only in america at the moment.
