By now, you may have already had your fill of Halloween candy. Now you’re ready to see how it’s made. Many of us just see candy in the store and buy it. But science actually plays a huge part in the process of making candy, and all foods.
Instead of trick or treating, Wednesday night on the UW campus, food scientist Rich Hartel, is showing audience members how science is a part of sweets.
“Candy starts with science, all food starts with science. Understanding the science behind how things are made allows us to control the candy and make good candy.” says Hartel.
