I was just wondering if the heat from cooking food actually was used
as the activation energy in a reaction, or if food is heated only to
kill germs. I would think food actually undergoes a process, since it
changes color, smell, taste, etc. What processes do food undergo
during cooking? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
