CHEM 007 PO - Chemistry of Food and Wine


CrsNo CHEM007 PO


When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered spring 2013.

Instructor(s): K. Sea

The pleasure and the nourishment we derive from food and drink are both based on the chemical composition of our diets. We will focus in this class first on the chemical composition of wine and all the grape-growing and winemaking decisions which impact that composition. We will also discuss sensory analysis of wine and food. The food part of the class will then look at the chemical changes that take place during cooking, and how those changes influence our perception of and the nutritional value of food. This class is a non-majors class but additional reading will be offered for chemistry majors.
