Interesting reading! I wasn't aware you'd include things like details of pathogen-contamination testing in a patent application. (Or compare the results with CO2 vs N2. That's a detail of genuine interest to anyone trying to make a related product outside the scope of the patent, or a similar product after the patent expires.)

I think they've shown their work.

I wonder if they sell these in the UK?

Likely not. Just like we don't get/want spray cheese.

All sounds a bit yuck to me.

I get the powder stuff. You can buy it from Tesco. Comes in a bottle, which is about 1/4 full of powder. You can store in the cupboard for ages. When you want pancakes you just open the bottle, fill it up with fresh milk, shake for ages then start cooking. Really tasty as well.

Apologies, but the mobile version of the story that is linked to here got me so frustrated I almost threw my mouse across the room. Can't highlight text, can't copy text as a result, and the article itself looks like garbage.

Here's a (better) link to the original article:
