When you mention the mint, green tea, and chlorella, are you making them as teas (heated water)? Also, was the chlorella powdered?

I used powdered stuff that supposedly fluoresces red, but it didn’t fluoresce at all. Also, when I made fresh and dried mint teas, they fluoresced a dark, murky green.

Where do you buy edible cocoa butter? Not something I’ve seen at the store, lol.

Also, with the turmeric, did you use powder? I set some turmeric in water and nothing happened till I macerated it. The fluorescent components were buried in the murky orange, and were only accessible as dregs. I’ve tried the powder, but it never dissolves—perhaps because it’s fat-soluble, not water soluble, as you said. Anyway, I’m so glad I found this. I thought I was the only one trying to move beyond just B2 & tonic.

Here’s a photo of what I’ve been working on:

I’m trying to get some food applications going. I’m just getting frustrated that every added ingredient changes the potential fluorescent properties in (frequently) unanticipated ways, lol.

Thanks Clay, yeah, it was very effective, hopefully someone uses it. Grrrrrrr (with Aussie accent)

This is such a cool idea! I can see many interesting possibilities for this in retail and showpiece applications.

I have no idea what inspired the exploration – Australian fierceness? – but thank you for sharing your exploration with us.
