Explanation:

$hii$

Food is a complex mixture of water, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, which make various intra- and intermolecular interactions in the texture. The chemical composition of foods is usually made from a variety of different chemical components.

Answer 2

Chemical formulas in food.....

Chemical formulas are in essence the ingredient list of a recipe, instead, it’s the ‘list’ of atoms that sit in a molecule. Chemical formulas can be used to describe which atoms sit in a molecule and how many. However, it does not tell you how they are connected. Linking it back to that recipe link, it show the ingredient list, but not how the ingredients can be made into a well tasting recipe.

Let’s look at a few examples:

Water, the water molecule is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms (H) and 1 oxygen atom (O), the chemical formula for water is: H2O

Ascorbic acid (another name for vitamin C) is made up of 6 carbon atoms (C), 8 hydrogen atoms (H) and 6 oxygen atoms (O), that results in: C6H8O6

β-carotene (the colour in carrots) is made up of 40 C-atoms and 56 hydrogen atoms, resulting in: C40H56
