Non-enzymatic browning
Beyond enzymatic browning in food, there's another fascinating process – non-enzymatic browning. It has two main forms: Caramelization, where sugars heat above their melting point, creating delightful nutty flavors and that rich brown hue. Then there's the Maillard reaction, a complex dance between sugars and amino acids or proteins that results in those mouthwatering brown to near-black molecules. Let's talk about one delicious result of these reactions - Braised Pork Belly, where caramelization and the Maillard reaction come together to create a culinary masterpiece!
