temperature.› Solubility problems, dispersion,
texture/flavor relationship.› Stability of flavor.
Objectives behind Molecular Gastronomy
The objectives of molecular gastronomy, as defined by Hervé This are:
Looking for the mechanisms of culinary transformations and processes (from a chemical and physical point of view) in three areas:› 1. The social phenomena linked to culinary
activity› 2. The artistic component of culinary activity› 3. The technical component of culinary activity
