Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking is a great source for the chemistry of
the kitchen....he is also a NY Times food columnist.
I don't have time to take on this interesting assignment at the moment,
but have forwarded it to our organization's listserv in the hope that
someone has the knowledge at the top of their head and an interest in
taking this on.
Best wishes.
If you could send me the finished article, I would be interested in seeing
it and passing it along to our Chemistry Teacher members.
