This delicious new book reveals the fascinating science behind
some of our favorite candies. If you ve ever wondered how candy
corn is made or whether Baby Ruth bars really float, as in the
movie Caddy shack, then this engaging collection of food for
thought is guaranteed to satisfy your hunger for knowledge. As well
as delving into candy facts and myths such as the so-called sugar
high and the long history of making sweetmeats, the authors explore
the chemistry of a candy store full of famous treats, from Tootsie
Rolls to Pixy Styx and from Jawbreakers to Jordan Almonds. They
reveal what makes bubble gum bubbly and why a Charleston Chew is so
chewy.
Written in an engaging, accessible and humorous style that makes
you laugh as you learn, "Candy Bites" doesn t shy away from the
hard facts or the hard questions, about candy. It tackles the
chemistry of hydrocolloids in gummy bears alongside the
relationship between candy and obesity and between candy and dental
cavities. The chapters open a window on the commercial and
industrial chemistry of candy manufacture, making this book a
regular Pez dispenser of little-known, yet captivating
factoids."
