For the salt, I actually really don't know. Seems weird.w.
Yes, standard plate count should be the same as CFU. I don't know what the normal cutoff are, but 10^4 is considered in microbiological work low, whereas 10^8 or 9 can be considered high. Your colon reaches 10^12 cfu/ml.
Coliforme doesn't mean poo. It means a group of bacteria looking similar to E.coli. While many people know E.coli as a gut bacterium, it's not really that (you have it in the gut, but not a major component), it's essentially weed, growing everywhere, and is a common contaminant. Therefore often checked separately.

I'd like to check what the sigma aldrich uses in their microbiological products, but their website is just...can't even call that functional.

The salt is probably from the process of hydrolysation. You can use hydrochloric acid to break apart the amino acids, then neutralise it with sodium hydroxide, leaving salt. The dutch one I linked has 20% salt. I think I am going to go with them, if I can. I suspect I will end up with enough to last me 30 years, and with a shelf life significantly less than that, but I think it will be an interesting addition to my cooking.

thanks for the info, that is really informative.

That sounds exactly like it, and it seems you can buy it industrially, but using google shopping, ebay or amazon I only get up cosmetics? I have not had that problem before, I wonder if there is a reason you cannot easily buy jars of it to add to cooking.

[EDIT] A little more hunting and it seems you can buy it, but not less than 1 Kg.
[EDIT 2] It is not as easy as that. It kind of seems like this is a product you cannot buy at a consumer level. I have only got into this internet shopping thing during lockdown, so perhaps I am not doing it right. So a new question: Can you buy hydrolyzed vegetable protein as a consumer product? I think it is a mix of amino acids made of depolymerised protein that has a very strong umami flavour.

I checked hydrolyzed maize protein on amazon and google shopping and got mostly protein powders (some of them chocolate-flavoured). Somehow I doubt that'll work.

When I read Samson's question ‘Can you buy hydrolyzed vegetable protein as a consumer product?’ I first thought of fitness shops.

My understanding is that this is a flavour enhancer, used more in the quantities of monosodium glutamate than whey powder.

Is there some active or former policeman?

I would be interested in Ask a policeman... thread.

I don't recall any OT user who was a police officer.

Does anybody know how to escape a pipe | in regex?

EDIT: I figured it out. \|\ is how.

There were a couple, but not active anymore now. For the life of me, I can only remember one name: BestBrian

 

[Takhisis]

Now that I think of it there was one guy who was thinking of joining the cops (somewhere in the US, but i'm not sure where) but was also having trouble reconciling that with IIRC anarcho-something tendencies. Both amounted to different approaches to ‘contributing to society’ but this was long enough ago that I cannot remember more.

IIRC there were/are moderators here who fill the role of policeman just as there were/are posters here who fill the role of law breakers.

 

[Takhisis]

In that order?

No the law breakers come first and the police follow. Smart a$$.

Is this summarized the every day relation between CFC poster and Mods in correct order:

That's not the misinterpretation I had in mind, but do carry on.

Do passion projects always fail?

 

[Arakhor]

No, because there are no absolutes in the human condition.

Anyone know what kind of lawyer would best be able to help me with setting up a business?

It's not a creative name. You'll want a business lawyer. Ideally one who specializes in small business.

If there's a specific industry your business falls under, the community probably has recommendations for specific lawyers who specialize further into that niche.

Thanks. I'll need one that's good with dealing with the ATF. I think I have a pretty solid, low cost idea to break into the gun business without actually having to sell or maintain any guns or ammo.
