What this event is about
Food-focused chemistry/biology: macromolecules, reactions (browning, leavening), nutrition labels, and often a lab component.
Study plan
- Review carbs/proteins/lipids and common food tests.
- Learn kitchen chemistry: acids/bases, emulsions, fermentation.
- Practice reading nutrition labels and stoichiometry-style problems if in rules.
- Run safe kitchen/lab trials that mirror event tasks.
Tips
Write observations like a lab notebook — judges reward clear data.
