Home > News > The real Willy Wonka: Scientists say three-course meal in a single stick of chewing gum is now a possibility
October 7th, 2010
Abstract:
It didn't work out that well for poor Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka's factory.
But now researchers say they may have cracked the secret behind creating a sweet that replicates three meals in a single stick of chewing gum.
Scientists at the Institute of Food Research (IFR) say the latest technology could be used to turn Willy Wonka's eccentric invention into reality - but without the unpleasant side effects.
Food scientist Dave Hart believes that recent advances in nanotechnology, which deals with structures just millionths of a millimetre in size, could capture and release flavours in a precisely controlled way.
