The creator attempts to break down cotton balls into glucose using sulfuric acid and then turn that glucose into cotton candy using a cotton candy machine.
From the video
Answers: Can you turn cotton balls into cotton candy?
- cellulose hydrolysis
- cotton candy chemistry
- acid hydrolysis of cellulose
- glucose repolymerization
Ingredients
- 77 g cotton balls
- 230 g sulfuric acid
- 70 g ice
- 245 g calcium carbonate
- water
What it concludes
- Pure glucose cannot be directly spun into cotton candy without being partially caramelized and repolymerized into longer chains first.
- Cotton balls can be broken down using sulfuric acid to produce glucose, which can then be processed into edible cotton candy.
