I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 30

‘Zero Cola’ was a drink that was much talked about even in the world of advanced science in the past.

From the story that the safety of artificial sweeteners has not been proven, to the claim that they cause cancer and destroy the intestinal environment.

Rather, I’ve also heard that artificial sweeteners stimulate appetite and cause weight gain.

But most of the media’s fearmongering about artificial sweeteners can be ignored.

If you look at it that way, sugar is a much more dangerous substance.

And because of this fear mongering by the media, citizens of the previous life were forced to become semi-experts on alternative sweeteners, whether they liked it or not.

I also did a lot of research when Zero drinks were first released to see if it was really okay to drink.

What I learned in the process was that the representative artificial sweetener in Zero Coke was ‘aspartame’.

Although aspartame is an artificial sweetener, not a natural sweetener, its ingredients are surprisingly simple.

Because it was just a mixture of amino acids commonly found in nature, such as soybeans and mammalian milk, mixed with a very small amount of methanol.

The fact that they started to create fear by claiming that aspartame was more problematic than sugar was an example of how foolish the media thought the public was.

However, these media tricks actually ended up being helpful to me now that I was reincarnated into another world.

Thanks to this, I was able to find out the ingredients that go into aspartame.

Of course, knowing the ingredients didn’t mean you could make aspartame.

Just finding an alchemist to seek advice from was a challenge.

Ciel didn’t know much about this area either.

That’s why Coke Zero was always low on my priority list when I was choosing what processed food to make.

Even if it wasn’t Coke Zero, there were plenty of processed foods I wanted to make.

But there was no reason to delay once the ‘diet craze’ began.

The processed food that helps with losing weight is, of course, Coke Zero.

And our Lord Matap was very surprised by my words.

“already?!”

“Yes, we need to start developing it soon.”

“Then when are we going to remodel our rooftop?”

“I’ll do it after this is over.”

“You said you would do it when you finished last time.”

“This time, for real.”

It’s not that it wasn’t, the exterior of our tower was still the same as before.

Not only were there open rooms aplenty on each floor, but the cozy wooden stairs that creaked as you climbed them were still there.

It was not natural that our tower could not make money.

I was making an incredible amount of money, but the problem was that I was spending just as much money as I was making.

Like msg stock, cola stock, pringles stock, gelato stock… … .

The cost of producing ‘stock’ and the cost of hiring alchemists were enormous.

You can think of it as a structure where as soon as you earn money, you go out again.

Because alchemy was originally a discipline that involved grinding money like water.

The biggest reason was that our company set the price of the product low.

In addition, the amount of money spent on installing crystal balls in bars across the country for this advertisement was enormous.

Even though the Ministry of Magic emptied the national treasury, we at the White Tower also had to share in the cost in order to share in the advertising network.

Of course, I didn’t decide such an important matter alone.

‘Is it true that money multiplies?’

‘Believe me, money can be copied?’

‘Is this something I can really trust?’

‘When have you ever seen me lie?’

‘I’ve never seen Yuri lie, but this is too expensive… … .’

Ranya seemed to have become more perceptive recently, and instead of making a decision right away, she showed caution by checking twice or three times.

Clearly, a lot of money was being made, but the money that actually accumulated in the hands of Ranya, who invested the money, was not much.

Because as soon as it came in, it all went into the cost of manufacturing processed foods.

It goes without saying that Ranya cried every day because of the money that was like a pie in the sky.

But even to Ranya, what I said sounded plausible.

‘It’s cheap considering the initial cost. Will everything be recovered if just one advertisement is aired?’

‘Oh, really? So advertising is that effective?’

After hearing the explanation of the principle of ‘advertising’, Ranya closed her eyes tightly and poured all of Matap’s finances into the crystal ball business.

The crystal ball communication network was installed in the taverns of the major cities of the empire.

Therefore, our tower’s finances are currently far from abundant.

Meanwhile, when I told her that I was developing a new processed food, Ranya couldn’t help but be terrified.

In Lanya’s eyes, the will to fight to the death was clearly visible.

“… … A cola that doesn’t make you fat? Is that possible?”

“Yes, I said this would be a huge hit as soon as it was released.”

This time too, Ranya’s ears couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

The processed food I brought out was none other than Zero Coke.

Lanya was never a slacker.

‘Potions’ are one of the most developed fields in this world.

Potions that heal wounds or recover from abnormal conditions had many similarities to modern chemistry.

It may not be exactly the same as chemistry, but this field also deals with artificial substances.

In fact, there were aspects where the effect was even better because magic was added.

And the pinnacle of the potion field was the ‘Golden Tower’, known as the holy land of alchemy.

Through Ciel’s introduction, I was able to meet an alchemist who was researching the potions of the Golden Tower.

“… … Hwaaam, I am Goun Ritter, an alchemist. Please call me Goun.”

The alchemist who introduced himself as Goun was a man who looked extremely sleepy.

He had a messy haircut and dark circles under his eyes, giving him an eccentric vibe, but he was a skilled alchemist.

“… … Hmm, this isn’t sugar.”

As soon as I drank the Zero Coke I made, I knew right away that it wasn’t sugar.

But he didn’t seem to be taking it seriously.

“… … Well, well, for a fantasy, it’s pretty well made.”

That’s understandable, because this was a ‘fake’ created through fantasy.

however.

“It’s a real drink.”

“…yes?”

Goun’s half-closed eyes widened.

“Are you saying that this illusion is a real drink?”

“Yes.”

Fantasy magic is broadly divided into two types.

A ‘fiction’ conjured by the wizard himself and an illusion that reproduces something that actually exists.

In addition, it was possible for an actual fantasy to have specific characteristics as long as the memory was clear.

“Then this sweetness is… … ”

“It was artificially created.”

“Do I have any evidence that I can trust?”

“I can tell you the ingredients that went into making it.”

“!”

Of course, Zero Coke contains various artificial sweeteners other than aspartame. But the core ingredient is still aspartame.

Because other sweeteners are added to mask the bitter taste of aspartame.

After that, I told Goun about the ingredients used to make aspartame.

Legumes and mammalian milk, and.

“… burning ice.”

Burning ice, methane hydrate.

It was a common alchemy material used to create fire.

However, I did not know how to extract amino acids from soybeans and mammalian milk.

The reason I came to Geumtap was to seek advice on it.

“Is it possible?”

“What if this drink really is a real fantasy?”

Gowoon’s eyes sparkled as she shook the glass bottle containing Zero Coke.

“It won’t be difficult if you analyze the ingredients and plug them into the ingredients you provided.”

*

As Goun boasted, it only took a week to create aspartame.

Even though it was a fantasy, it was easy to recreate it with alchemy since I didn’t even know the ingredients that went into Zero Coke.

What was surprising was that Gowoon had discovered yet another artificial sweetener.

“This one also tastes sweet. It’s similar to sugar, so it was easy to imitate.”

‘Is it sucralose?’

Gowoon created sucralose from sugar.

‘It’s definitely worth the money.’

The Golden Tower, the holy place of alchemists, was so proud of its high reputation that its outsourcing costs were insanely expensive.

Because the place that received three times more money than an alchemist of the same level of skill was the Golden Tower.

There were also advantages such as no ‘eat and run’ and quick results.

It was clear that it was not something that could be used unless it was urgent.

Anyway, once we got our hands on the key sweeteners, aspartame and sucralose, making Coke Zero was a breeze.

Because alchemy was the study of ‘imitation.’

“It’s not that good because it’s so sweet. I think cola tastes better.”

This was Aria’s reaction after tasting the finished Zero Coke.

There was nothing particularly strange.

Because everyone who drinks Zero Coke for the first time has the same reaction as Aria.

“If you drink it, it might actually be better?”

“Hey, no way.”

Aria tilted her head with an expression that seemed to wonder if that was really the case.

But if you keep drinking it, you will feel different.

Among those who only drink Zero Coke, there are some who say that they find sugary cola burdensome.

Whether it’s sugar or zero is ultimately a matter of personal preference.

but,

‘Wow, they even added a ton of lime flavor.’

Zero was lime, after all.

“Evan! Come on!”

“Right! Stretch your sword forward!”

Evan’s training manual was still popular in the taverns of the empire.

If in the past he focused on building up his stamina, recently Evan has reached a level where he can spar with real knights.

“Ahhh~ What a shame.”

“As expected, being a knight is impossible.”

Of course, it was impossible for Evan to win against the knights of the Gertz Duchy.

however,

“What is that?”

“What are you drinking?”

Evan, who had finished sparring, was leaning against the wall, sipping a cool drink.

“Is it cola?”

“No. The labels are different.”

It was a black drink, but the color of the label was different from that of cola, which had a red paper on the outside.

Then, as the crystal ball expanded, the people in the bar were able to confirm the identity of the drink Evan was drinking.

“lime?”

The drink had a green lime drawn on the outside along with the word “Zero.”

Evan lifted the drink he was drinking, as if to confirm his guess.

─This is the drink I enjoy drinking while training these days. It’s a cola released by Baekmatop, and it doesn’t contain any sugar, so anyone can enjoy it without any worries. It’s a slightly sweet taste, but it has a lime flavor …

This was the world’s first drink review.
