    Abstract

    A scientific review reviewed the way molecular gastronomy (MG) was emerging as a new scientific discipline. Scientists informed that MG needed to be considered a new scientific discipline, as it played a key role in investigating and determining the taste of certain food products. The long-term aims of the science of MG were to provide chefs with tools to assist them in producing the finest food and to set the minimum set of conditions that were required for a dish to be described by a representative group of individuals as enjoyable or delicious. It also focused on finding which these conditions had to be met and predict well whether a particular dish or meal tasted better. MG was distinct from traditional Food Science, as it was concerned mainly with the science behind any conceivable food preparation technique that potentially used in a restaurant environment or even in domestic cooking from readily available ingredients to produce the best possible result.
