approach to culinary arts based on scientific understanding and techniques
Molecular gastronomy includes the study of how different cooking temperatures affect eggs, their viscosity, surface tension, and different ways of introducing air into them. Spherification of juices and other liquids is a technique of molecular gastronomy. A molecular gastronomy rendition of eggs Benedict served by wd~50 in New York City. The cubes are deep-fried Hollandaise sauce.
Molecular gastronomy is the scientific approach of cuisine from primarily the perspective of chemistry. The composition (molecular structure), properties (mass, viscosity, etc) and transformations (chemical reactions, reactant products) of an ingredient are addressed and used in the preparation and appreciation of the ingested products. It is a branch of food science that approaches the preparation and enjoyment of nutrition from the perspective of a scientist at the scale of atoms, molecules, and mixtures.
