Description
The application of biotechnology principles to cooking, including microbial fermentation, enzyme-modified flavorings, sous vide cooking, molecular gastronomy, and ultrasonic homogenization.
Technical
Biotechnology applications in cooking involve the use of microorganisms, enzymes, and other biological systems to transform ingredients and create new flavors, textures, and nutritional content. This includes techniques such as microbial fermentation, which involves the breakdown of sugars and other organic compounds by microorganisms, and enzyme-modified flavorings, which involve the use of enzymes to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
