Low-Fat Fried Food?
Deep-fried fish could get
healthier with a new
protein-based batter
extracted from the muscle of
discarded fish parts. When
coated onto the fish it
forms a barrier, locking in
taste and moisture while

Edible Antifreeze Saves Ice Cream
Chemists adding a tasteless
edible protein called
gelatin hydrolysate to ice
cream find that it keeps ice
crystals small, resulting in
a smoother, more pleasing
product. The protein

Wood Glue Inspired by Mussels
Chemists combined an exotic
form of an amino acid --
used by mussels to stick to
rocks -- with soy flour to
make a new, high-strength
adhesive. The new glue helps
in manufacturing
