Danke! Hey, are you a food chemist/technologist, or just happen to get it?
I need a food scientist/technologiest. Coming up with flavors is
easy, but textures be tres dificile!
I'm just a regular Analytical Chemist who remembers his organic
chemistry. Ahh the good old amino acid-sugar Maillard Reaction (not
Mallard but I attribute that to poetic license),
Yes. :)
it's what gives beer its flavor and toast its smell and color. For
those who don't know what we are talking about take a look here:

Hey, that museum is practically in my back yard (figuratively; it's
actually in the opposite direction;)
I also cook for a hobby. I think that all chemists should cook,
there's not much difference between cooking and chemistry - other
than the fact that you can eat what you make when you cook!
Well, most of the time. LOL. (Don't ask about my Sim-Egg experiment.;)
For a good reference on baking chemistry take a look at this book:
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471405469/>
It's a very dry read but it explains a ton about the chemistry of
baking. Not many recipes because it's not a cookbook. It's
basically intended to be a textbook for culinary students but it is
still good to have as a reference.
Oooh, I think I bought that book about a year ago! Don't remember the
cover being quite that shade of blue, but maybe it's a gamma thing.
Yes, that's a great book. I want more, More, MORE! (Oh there's
another similar one listed further down the page.) Too bad I can't
just pull Shirley Corriher out of my back pocket like Alton Brown
can. LOL
Is there such thing as a "health food technologist" or would that be
a contradiction in terms? I know polydextrose is not "natural" but it
sure would help with making vegan desserts. I love a challenge...
