"Why are recipes not scientific? The beauty and complexity of food science."

We will talk about chemical and nutritional changes that happen during cooking, 
while highlighting the role of heat in facilitating those reactions.

interactions in Cheese and Ice Cream"

The workshop is geared to meet the needs of science educators working to design 
their own experiments in food chemistry as well as those wishing to incorporate 
the chemistry of food into classroom or laboratory activities. It will provide 
the participants with a basic understanding of the connections between 
chemistry and food, using milk as an example food. It includes a limited 
lecture with theoretical overview and hands-on activities highlighting 
inter-molecular interactions in milk and understanding chemical changes 
occurring during preparation of cheese and ice-cream. Participants will receive 
resources to plan their own food chemistry experiments.
