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.
