"Foams in Food Technology:
We made meringues to demonstrate the capacity that egg white has to incorporate and entangle air. The foam then needs to be stabilised with sugar to hold the volume. Vinegar is used as an acid to help with the process too. The meringue then turns from a mixture into a compound. The project demonstrates that Science, especially chemistry, relates to food processing."
