There are many similarities between cooking and a chemical experiment. We mix ingredients to get a desired end result. But an understanding of chemistry can also help us explain many other things around food. In the eleventh video of the Chemistry Calendar we take a look at some of the chemical reactions taking place while cooking. The Chemistry Calendar is a joint project between Molecular Frontiers, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and Universeum. We work together with film company Untamed Science to launch a video per month during the International Year of Chemistry 2011.

  • @richthornley That's really funny. The best way to learn is to practice it yourself right? Keep it up!

  • We had a kid here do an "extended essay" on the Maillard (against my better judgement) - what a sticky mess of molecules - hard to spearate - hard to control. But the lab smelt good for a week!
