I enjoy the bubble itself, but I'm also very interested in the process by which it is created.
I wonder and enjoy the similar bubbles that are created in a completely different way.
I've tried some minor materials so far. Some worked and some didn't.
【Useful!】
・ Konjac: Great!
・ Fenugreek gum: Great!
【Unclear...】
・ Sodium polyglutamic acid: A sticky ingredient of natto. I could make a bubble of about 1 meter, but the film was brittle. This may be useful if you adjust the amount, but it is expensive ($ 20 for 10 grams) and not cost effective.
【No effect!】
・ Sodium alginate (low viscosity): I probably bought one with a low molecular weight. No effect.
・ Carbomer: No effect. No viscosity.
・ Acacia Dietary Fiber: This is probably gum arabic with no viscosity. No effect.
・ Polyvinylpyrrolidone k30: No effect. It smells sweet.
・ Denture stabilizer "New Faston": Ingredients of this were natural Karaya gum and powdered alcohol. This gives a little viscosity but is almost ineffective. (Is pure Karaya Gum flour useful?)
【Out of the question!】
・ Salep root powder: A simple powder that is probably inadequately refined. Many impurities settle to the bottom of the liquid. It's totally useless.
・ Acorn powder: Does not melt.
・ Chitosan: As soon as it was mixed with tap water containing detergent, it transformed into a fairly solid rubber-like ball. This is interesting with this, but totally useless.
・ Snail mucin powder: No effect. It smells like the body odor of a sweaty middle-aged man. Or the smell of moldy damp rag. I will never do it again.
Needless to say, these are "just" my experiences. Some may be useful if there is a better environment and methods.
Among others, I feel it was fortunate to meet the konjac bubble.
Bubble experiments often go wrong, but they were all interesting experiences.
