And the air, like no air I’d breathed before. One of his colleagues recalled that when Haagen-Smit performed the same extreme cooling on nothing but LA air, the cold trap yielded “a couple drops of dark brown vile smelling liquid.” They were a condensate of LA’s ambient airborne molecules, and like the condensates of pineapple and wine, they could be analyzed to determine their composition in detail. #preRegistration-container .a-icon{display:none}#preRegistration-container.inline-popup-link .a-checkbox{padding-right:4px}#preRegistration-container.inline-popup-link .a-checkbox-label{display:inline;padding-left:0}#preRegistration-container .preRegistration-popup-link{position:relative}#preRegistration-alert-container #preregistrationGiftingAlert{padding-left:4px}#preRegistration-alert-container #preregistrationQuantityAlert{padding-left:4px}#gifting-option-container{margin-bottom:0} (window.AmazonUIPageJS ? Yesterday I was sitting here listening to Harold McGee on NPR’s “Radio Times” with Marty Moss-Coane promoting his new cookbook. A pamphlet provided brief reflections for each course, and for the general idea that air is “an overlooked element of place-based flavor.” Even when the effect wasn’t obvious, it was a thought-provoking, sense-sharpening experience. The second big change was that I got married to someone with a real job in the Upstate NY area (read: not a post-doc) right after my PhD finished. The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it turns from a solid into a liquid while maintaining its chemical identity. (window.AmazonUIPageJS ? There were sourdoughs started in three different parts of the Bay Area, soup made with condensed fog, and beef with manzanita smoke for a hint of forest fire. (window.AmazonUIPageJS ? . He introduced himself by saying: Some might think that I am an ex-expert in the field of flavor chemistry. This is the 21st century, a time of unparalleled interest in food in all its richness and complexity. To get an idea of what the experience is like, see this wonderful scrapbook summary by one of last year's grantees, Elizabeth Yorke, who attended from India. Cooking on the line has its rewards; today more than ever it can be just the start of a richly fulfilling career. So what of the air in the kitchens of LA and other affluent cities, with their clean-burning gas and flameless electricity? where I spent most of my time spraying Roundup during a particularly weedy summer. In one, toxicologists at Penn State found that modern humans have a genetic variant that probably makes us less sensitive to the mutagens and carcinogens in wood smoke than our predecessors and cousins, including the Neanderthals. #WLNEW_section_wlType .a-box{min-height:115px}#WLNEW_section_wlType .type-radio-contents{margin-left:0}#WLNEW_section_wlType .a-icon-radio{vertical-align:top;margin-right:5px;margin-left:-5px}#WLNEW_occ_month{margin-right:10px}.privacy_buttons_margin{margin-left:0!important;margin-bottom:5px!important}.fix-width-x-large{width:293px!important}.fix-width-large{width:150px!important}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlType .a-box{min-height:70px}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlType .a-radio{padding:0 0 0 3rem}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlType .type-radio-contents{padding-bottom:2px}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlName .a-button-toggle-group{text-align:left}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlName .privacy_buttons_margin{margin:0}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_wlName .a-button-toggle{margin:0 1rem 0 0}.atwl-create-content-section-mobile #WLNEW_section_ideaList textarea{border:2px solid #AAB7B8} Food Chemistry 2011, 59: 702-12.
