Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So of course, \Nthe acids present in the food Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will greatly contribute \Nto the sour taste Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a particular dish.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It also is dictated by the type \Nof acid present. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So during titration,\Nthe setup is very simple. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,***So meron lang tayong burette and then yung reagent, isang base lang and then indicator for the color change, and then yun na yun. So very straightforward naman yung titration procedure. Ayan, nagpipink na siya. So pag nakikita na natin yung pink, ibig sabihin medyo malapit na tayo dun sa endpoint. So malapit ng maneutralize ng base natin yung acid na nasa sample. Yung reporting nito is in terms of the type of the acid. So for example for calamansi, the dominant acid here is citric acid, so irereport natin siya in terms of citric acid. For sinigang, iba iba rin depende sa type ng souring agent. So for tamarind, it's tartaric acid, for calamansi, it's citric acid, for batwan I also think it's citric acid, for kamias, it's oxalic acid. So those different types of acid also have a different perceived sourness. So it doesn't mean also that the amount of acid, the higher the amount of acid present in the sample the higher also the perceived sourness. So it depends on the type of the acid. Among those acid sa food na related to sinigang, yung high level ng degree of perceivable sourness is the tartaric acid. So kaya tamarind yung common na souring agents for sinigang. Ayan. So meron ng kita agad na pink color. So pag mabilis pa mawala yung kulay, ibig sabihin malayo pa sa endpoint. Pag medyo matagal na magdisappear yung pink color, ibig sabihin malapit na sa endpoint or yung total volume ng base na needed to neutralize the acid. Ayan. So that's the endpoint, pink color. So for the instant mix, yung volume na nagamit niya is around 22.5mL so mas konti siya compared sa calamansi kanina. So yung calamansi is, if I'm not mistaken, 55mL. So 55mL yung volume ng base. So for instant mix, 21.5mL, so ibig sabihin mas mataas yung titrated acidity ng calamansi natin na sample. Ibig lang sabihin mas mataas yung volume or concentration ng acid present sa calamansi compared sa instant mix, but it does not necessarily mean na in terms of perceived sourness mas maasim na si calamansi. So when it comes to taste, we have no instrument that can really measure the degree or intensity of a particular taste. So sabi nga the best instrument parin when it comes to detecting taste is our human tongue. So let's try this biasong na walang added water. Tagal di nagpipink. Very acidic. Ang taas ng... oo. So pag mabilis siya matapos, konti lang yung acid. Pag matagal or mas marami yung volume, mas mataas yung acid. So medyo complex kasi yung flavor profile ng sinigang, so parang balance siya ng sweetness, sourness, and saltiness. So ito naka 50mL na tayo pero di parin siya nagneuneutralize so we need more base. So ito diluted na to nagadd na ako ng water pero ang taas parin ng volume needed to neutralize the acid. Ayan. Faint pink, ayan. So 96.3mL yung volume na nagamit for biasong na diluted na, so added water. So very high din yung total titratable acidity present dito. Try natin yung batwan. 10mL. Try natin na as is walang water. So batwan known to na souring agent sa Visayas area naman. Ay konti lang pink agad. For batwan, small lang yung volume around 3mL para mareach niya yung endpoint. More or less calamansi and biasong magkalapit lang, yes. Kasi ito dinilute natin ng water. So yun yung results for these test. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So after conducting \Nthe total titratable acidity test, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we found that the batwan \Nhas lower total titratable acidity Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as compared to the calamansi \Nand the biasong.

Where will they get the kamias? It's convenience. Yeah. It's our culture, our penchant for liking sour things. The best thing about understanding a dish and getting to know it intimately, knowing its history, trying to understand its context, its milieu, is that it gives you the tools to kind of appropriate it subjectively in terms of what you think is the best version of the dish. Sinigang is something that we all grew up eating. We all have that shared memory of it.

So if you're someone that likes to cook at home, especially when it comes to Filipino food, especially one of these dishes that's more of a category, less of a dish, more of a technique and a cooking style and less of a prescription, then it should give you the liberty to eventually make your own recipe regionalistic. We can actually get different ingredients from different parts of the Philippines and come up with something different. And I feel the combination of Batuan and Sao Paulo is absolutely beautiful when it comes to this soup. Right, Jed? Awesome. Let's get cooking. So that goes into our pot here and right away with our tomatoes and my onion. So these will just be quartered. All that goes into our pot.
