== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Culinary Science''' (Gastronomy) β The "Study" of the "Physical and Chemical Processes" that occur while cooking. * '''Maillard Reaction''' β The "Most Important Reaction": a chemical reaction between "Amino Acids" and "Reducing Sugars" that creates "Brown Color" and "Savory Flavor" (e.g. 'Seared Steak,' 'Toasted Bread'). * '''Caramelization''' β The "Browning of Sugar" through "Heat" (without amino acids), creating "Nutty" and "Sweet" flavors. * '''Denaturation''' β The "Unfolding" of "Proteins" (like 'Egg whites' or 'Muscle') due to heat or acid, causing them to "Clump Together" and "Turn Solid." * '''Emulsification''' β The "Process" of "Combining" "Oil and Water" (which normally don't mix) using an "Emulsifier" (like 'Egg yolk' or 'Mustard') to create a "Stable Liquid" (e.g., 'Mayonnaise'). * '''Osmosis''' β The "Movement of Water" from "Low Salt" to "High Salt" areas; used in "Brining" to make meat "Juicier." * '''Conduction''' β Heat transfer through "Direct Contact" (e.g., 'A Pan on a Stove'). * '''Convection''' β Heat transfer through "Moving Fluids" (e.g., 'Air in an Oven' or 'Boiling Water'). * '''Radiation''' β Heat transfer through "Waves" (e.g., 'A Microwave' or 'A Broiler'). * '''pH Level''' β (See Article 75). The "Acidity" of food: "Acid" (Lemon/Vinegar) can "Cook" fish (Ceviche) or "Balance" "Fats." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
