Plant BioChemistry

Today was a very shocking day. All of my supervisors are gone. My group isnt going to be here any more. I am going to really miss my supervisors. They were really cool and fun. We had really good times in our group.

Yogurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, and riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12  It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. People who are moderately lactose-intolerant  can consume yogurt without ill effects, because much of the lactose in the milk precursor is converted to lactic acid by the bacterial culture. Yogurt containing live cultures is sometimes used in an attempt to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea 

Yogurt contains varying amounts of fat. There is non-fat (0% fat), low-fat (usually 2% fat) and plain or whole milk yogurt (4% fat). A study published in the International Journal of Obesity January 11, 2005, found that the consumption of low-fat yogurt can promote weight loss, especially due to the calcium in the yogurt.

Last week the Plant Biochemistry component made yogurt! Just in case you didn't know, yogurt is a food made by the natural bacterial fermentation of milk. Ours has been incubating for the last 2 days at 45°C and its ready. If you are interested in trying some, stop by Jolly South :)

Other then making yogurt, we went to a website call Khan Academy.On Khan, we do many different math problems. It helps us with math and accuracy. It actually is pretty fun and easy, but when I get to the harder problems, I will probably struggle a little.

Today, we made our own yogurt. We used milk and plain yogurt... After that we leaned some interesting things about yogurt. We learned that lactose and tolerant people can eat yogurt even though they can't drink milk. We also learned some other important facts about yogurt but I will not get into too many details.

Today was a good day. In college Prep we talked about college. We talked about goals, roomates. my goals are to graduate from high school and attend college. i want to become an attorney. wen i go to college and i have a roomate i will introduce myself to my roomate and tell them some things about myself & they will tell me some things about the things as well ... In my component; Plant Bio- Chemistry we did this little experiment on yogurt. i learned alot of intresting thing about yogurt such ass; its alive..etc. in our component we put the jars in hot water for 5min., so we can clean them, then we put the milk into the pot so if could get 45 degrees , and last we put the jars into the inki bater..

I had a lot of fun at work today. I must say, if I wasnt already a YES Teen, then I would definately become one today! I am in the Plant BioChemistry component, and we executed a really interesting and fun experiment this morning. We made homemade yogurt! I never in my wildest dreams thought that I, Nathan Bolden, would EVER make something so far fetched like yogurt, EVER! It as a real fun and different experiement and I learned a lot! Even though we dont have a learning lab next week, I cant wait to see what the next weeks have in store!
