Hi,
In your research travels take a look at the work of Harold McGee:

About Harold McGee
I write about the chemistry of food and cooking. I took up this odd
vocation after studies at the California Institute of Technology and
at Yale University, where I wrote a doctoral thesis with the prophetic
title "Keats and the Progress of Taste." After several years as a
literature and writing instructor at Yale, I decided to practice what
I'd been teaching, and write a book: a book about the science of
everyday life.
The result was the publication in 1984 of a 680-page compendium, On
Food & Cooking: The Science & Lore of the Kitchen. My timing was
lucky: America and Britain were awakening to the pleasures of good
food and to the diversity of world cuisines, and On Food & Cooking
helped satisfy the growing hunger for information about ingredients
and techniques.
Best,
.
