What is kitchen chemistry? Chemistry Calendar, November: Food

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 was a joint project between Molecular Frontiers, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg, Universeum and film company Untamed Science during the International Year of Chemistry 2011. Feel free to use these films in school teaching!
