Effects and uses of N2O

Within the food sector, we come across the use of tools, products, or small appliances that a few years ago might have seemed unthinkable. However, trends often emerge and it is important to evolve, to be up to date, and to offer customers novelties. One of these key utensils in today’s kitchen is the cream siphon. This is a product with many possibilities since the siphon can be used to prepare creams and foams, both for main dishes and desserts, which is why it is so popular. The cream siphon is a popular utensil for many reasons. One of them is because it allows us to achieve ‘something’ that we could not do otherwise. For example, it allows us to transform the liquid into a mousse texture so that if we introduce liquid cream in a siphon with an N2O cream charger, we will have whipped cream. This is ideal for making surprising preparations, both at home and professionally.

Foodgrade N2O is a nitrous oxide that, as you might guess, is used for the food industry and therefore has the right quality for this as well. This is because this form of nitrous oxide is purified and has a purity level of 99.7%. Foodgrade nitrous oxide (N2O) is used in whipped cream chargers, among other things. This gas can be sold in whipped cream chargers and inserted into the whipped cream siphon, or through the also wellknown whipped cream cartridges. The nitrous oxide (N2O) can mix well with the fatty substances that are put into the whipped cream siphon to make a mousse, cream, or whipped cream. In addition to this benefit, the advantage of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the food industry is also that nitrous oxide has antibacterial properties. And because of this, the whipped cream remains good for up to 10 days in the refrigerator. Another advantage is that with the same amount of cream, combined with nitrous oxide (N2O), the total volume increases by four times as much.

In case nothing is emerging from your cream dispenser when you press the switch, there is a decent possibility your head valve has quit working appropriately. Replace the head valve on the cream dispenser and see if that fixes the problem. Whipped cream shooting out the tip when charging the dispenser? This mostly indicates that the valve on top of the dispenser is broken or close to breaking, the best thing to do is to simply replace the valve. Whipped cream released in liquid, and not as a firm cream Check to ensure that the cream you are utilizing has a sufficiently highfat substance, generally, whipping and thickening cream has to be at a fat percentage of 32%. Nitrous oxide gas will lose intensity after 5+ years, make sure you are utilizing new or more uptodate N2O cream chargers, preferably larger cylinders like 580 gram or 640 gram cream chargers. Ensure you are shaking the container prior to usage.

When you want to make whipped cream, you need to use a thickened cream. This cream can have a fat content of 2736%. When you use the whipped cream siphon pressure is released, this causes the nitrous oxide in the fat molecule to expand and whipped cream is created. The whipped cream siphon provides 4x more quantity compared to when you whip whipped cream yourself by hand. Can you use any kind of gas in the whipped cream siphon? It is important that you use only N2O gas. The reason nitrous oxide is used in a whipped cream siphon is that the gas dissolves easily with liquids and the gas is not lost at the time it is in the siphon. What is also an advantage of using nitrous oxide in whipped cream siphons is that it also inhibits the growth of bacteria and it has no smell or taste. It is important that you follow the recipe for the type of cream or foam you want to make and set the siphon on a flat surface.
