The world’s first glow in the dark ice cream has been
created.
A U.K. ice cream maker has turned everyone’s favorite night
time party accessory in to an edible dessert.
Lick Me Delicious owner Charlie Harry Francis enlisted
Chinese scientist to churn out glow in the dark ice cream, made from
synthesizing the luminescent protein in jellyfish.
The protein reacts with your tongue at a neutral pH and levels
trigger the glow, the inventor told U.K. newspaper metro.
According to Mr. Francis: we have been working with a
company who have managed to synthesize a protein extracted from jellyfish that
causes bioluminescence to occur. We are using a specific form of this protein which
reacts with calcium at a neutral pH, causing the protein to glow when it comes
into contact with calcium, i.e. when it’s agitatd.ie. When it’s licked”
Jellyfish
Since jellyfish protein is expensive, one scoop sells for
140 pounds ($225)
Francis said he plans to make more unconventional ice-cream
flavors in the future. Including invisible ice cream and the hottest ice cream
in the world.
