Synopsis

Explore the science behind everyday foods and how chemistry explains texture, taste, and safety. This edition connects kitchen observations to lab methods, helping you understand why jelly gels, how plant fibers behave, and what tests reveal in dairy, sugar, and canned goods.

Drawing on clear experiments and practical explanations, the book covers topics from pectin’s role in jelly making to the structure of proteins, the behavior of sugars, and common methods for detecting food adulterants. It highlights the real-world relevance of food chemistry for cooks, students, and curious readers alike.

• How pectin, water, sugar, and acid influence jelly formation and texture


• What cellulose and plant fibers are, and how they behave in different solutions


• Protein types, their solubility, coagulation, and common lab tests


• Disaccharides like cane sugar, maltose, and lactose, plus simple inversion and fermentation concepts


• Practical lab approaches for testing sugars, fats, starch, gelatin, and common adulterants

Ideal for readers seeking practical insights into kitchen chemistry and food science in everyday life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
