Students in the Food: Biochemical and Molecular Study class have been examining heat transfer into and through different materials They then focused on several materials related to foods and cooking Their study wasn't just limited to ingredients, but also to the tools of cooking that are used to move energy into each ingredient We were able to use the science department’s infrared camera to study the heat flow and state changes in grilled cheese, french fries, and an omelet

In a later assignment, students were studying browning reactions (specifically the Maillard reaction) and denaturation of food proteins Students studied this through creme brulee, egg toast, and Bananas Foster
