Amylolytic process or amylolysis is the conversion of starch into sugar by the action of acids or enzymes such as amylase. [1] Starch begins to pile up inside the leaves of plants during times of light when starch is able to be produced by photosynthetic processes. This ability to make starch disappears in the dark due to the lack of ...
Caramelization is a process of browning of sugar used extensively in cooking for the resulting rich, butter-like flavor and brown color. The brown colors are produced by three groups of polymers: caramelans (C 24 H 36 O 18), caramelens (C 36 H 50 O 25), and caramelins (C 125 H 188 O 80). As the process occurs, volatile chemicals such as ...
