This powdered alcoholic beverage, packaged in convenient single-serve pouches, contains just 80 kilocalories while exhibiting an alcohol concentration exceeding that of most table wines. Since its market debut, the product has sparked intense debate and apprehension, primarily due to the ease of unregulated consumption and the risk of improper use. The manufacturer, marketing the substance under the brand name *Palcohol*, emphasizes its multifunctional nature—suitable for dry ingestion, dissolution in liquids of varying chemical compositions, or even application as a culinary seasoning for dishes. However, the concept of alcohol in powdered form is by no means a global innovation, and its potential for misuse has raised legitimate concerns among public health professionals and regulatory bodies alike.

Palcohol – alkohol w proszku

Palcohol (skrót od nazwy powdered alcohol) to alkohol w proszku, który jest świetną alternatywą dźwigania ciężkich butelek.. Pomysłodawcą produktu jest Mark Philips.. Jedna saszetka (o wadze 1, 8 dag) zawiera 10 – 12% alkoholu i swobodnie zmieści się w kieszeni.. Aby uzyskać napój wysokoprocentowy, wystarczy zmieszać proszek z 5 uncjami (ok.. 148 ml) wody. Producent oferuje 6 opcji: wódka (V), rum (R), cosmopolitan, mojito, kamikaze oraz lemon drop.. Sproszkowany alkohol pojawił się na amerykańskim rynku w czerwcu tego roku.. Jednak niektóre stany USA już zapowiedziały, że nie dopuszczą do sprzedaży palcoholu.. Nie będzie on dostępny w Kolorado, Nowym Jorku i Rhode Island, a także w Południowej Karolinie, Luizjanie oraz Vermont.. W Massachusetts prawo dopuszcza sprzedaż jedynie płynnych alkoholi.. Marka należy do firmy Lipsmark, która przedstawia swój produkt jako innowacyjny i oryginalny.. Jednak produkty w sproszkowanej postaci już istniały.. Przykładowo w Niemczech można nabyć wyrób o nazwie Subyou, którego saszetka rozpuszczona w wodzie daje drink o mocy 4, 8%.. Również w Holandii dostępny jest alkoholowy proszek Booz2go, który posiada podobne właściwości – powstały drink ma owocowy smak i stężenie alkoholu 3%.

Palcohol – skład i właściwości

Wniosek patentowy na alkohol w proszku został złożony w USA już prawie 40 lat temu, jeszcze w połowie lat 70.. Ubiegłego stulecia i polega na zmieszaniu alkoholu z dekstrynami.. Producent Palcoholu jednak nie ujawnia szczegółów technologii wytwarzania.. Palcohol to alkohol w postaci zaabsorbowanej w cząsteczkach cyklodekstryn.. Cyklodekstryny są to pochodne glukozy.. Posiadają zdolność absorbowania różnych substancji, m.. in. etanolu. W wyniku tego procesu ciekły alkohol pochłaniany jest przez będącą w postaci proszku cyklodekstrynę, dając w ten sposób proszek z zawartością alkoholu.. Cyklodekstryny mogą zaabsorbować alkohol, który będzie stanowił ok.. 60% ich masy. Na opakowaniu Palcoholu dostępnego na amerykańskim rynku widnieje skład, w którym można przeczytać, iż w koktajlach tych występują naturalne dodatki smakowe i sukraloza.. Ponadto wszystkie wersje są bezglutenowe.. Jeśli chodzi o kaloryczność, wiele zależy od płynu, z jakim rozrobi się proszek (do V i R można dodać nie tylko wodę, ale i colę czy sok pomarańczowy; pomijając etap mieszania z wodą, od razu uzyskuje się koktajl).. Sam proszek jest jednak źródłem 80 kcal.

Palcohol – zagrożenia

Zdaniem ekspertów napoje alkoholowe łatwiej będzie można przemycić i spożywać w miejscach publicznych, w których jest on zakazany, np.. na stadionach. Oryginalne saszetki z Palcoholem zostały zaprojektowane w taki sposób, aby można było do nich wlać wodę i wstrząsnąć, aby uzyskać gotowy drink.. Specjalne zamknięcie chroni płyn przed wylaniem.. Szerokie dno saszetki pozwala postawić je na płaskim podłożu.. Do opakowania można dorzucić kilka kostek lodu lub sączyć alkohol przez słomkę.. Ponadto istnieją obawy, że alkohol w takiej postaci bardziej skłania do jego nadużywania, szczególnie młodzież.. Łatwiej bowiem można wejść w jego posiadanie i go przemycić np.. Do szkoły.. Rodzicom trudniej będzie kontrolować swe pociechy.. Producent nowego proszku podkreśla jednak, że saszetka sproszkowanego alkoholu będzie miała ok.. 10 x 15 cm, więc nie tak łatwo będzie ją przeoczyć.. Poza tym dostępny będzie jedynie w sklepach monopolowych.. Na pytania, czy proszek będzie można wciągać przez nos, producent odpowiada, że nie warto, gdyż jest to bardzo bolesne, bowiem wywołuje silne pieczenie.. „Obojętnie, w jakiej postaci dostępny jest alkohol.. Ci, którzy chcą go nadużywać, zawsze znajdą na to swój sposób” – podkreśla na swojej stronie internetowej producent proszku.
