Why do onions make us cry?

Image
As we know while cooking an onion a very strong aroma is produced that most people enjoy. But cutting up an onion stings your eyes and makes them water uncontrollably. If you love to include onions in your dishes, this probably frustrates you all the time. So just what is it in onions that make them such an ordeal to prepare? When you slice through an onion, you break open a number of onion cells. Some of these cells have enzymes inside them and when they are sliced open, the enzymes escape. The enzymes then decompose some of the other substances that have escaped from sliced cells. Some of these substances quickly rearrange themselves into a volatile gas. The gas reaches your eyes and reacts with the water that keeps them moist. This change produces a mild sulfuric acid, which irritates the eyes. The nerve endings in your eyes are very sensitive and so they pick up on this irritation which is why our eyes sting when we slice onions. The brain reacts by telling your...

How does coffee remain frothy?

Image
  A cup of hot coffee with a thick layer of froth on it is delightful when you serve it sprinkled with a little chocolate powder. A pretty sight too. But what makes the froth and keeps it? When you beat coffee powder with granulated sugar with a few drops of water, there are two things that happen…the sugar granules mingle with the coffee grains as they melt allowing for the flavours to develop fully. So by the time the hot milk is ready to be poured into this mixture, the full flavour is ready! Secondly, while beating the coffee powder with the sugar a lot of air is incorporated. This air forms the bubbly froth on the top of the cup. For best results, use full cream milk. The froth is thicker, creamier and lasts till you finish drinking it all up! Unfortunately, frothy coffee is not possible for those who favour skimmed milk! There is no fat to sustain the air bubbles inspite of beating the coffee with sugar. But, yes, the coffee flavour will be much stronger.
