- Cooking breaks down high polymers into smaller polymers through hydrolysis, making food easier to digest
2
Food Quality Chemistry
- Food quality parameters: flavor, smell, texture, color, and microbial spoilage
- Browning of cut fruits/vegetables occurs due to polyphenol oxidation
- Quinones form from polyphenols and undergo polymerization to form brown tannins
