Chibuku is a traditional Zambian fermented maize beverage produced by malting, grinding, and inoculating maize with a mixed culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast.
Chicha is a traditional Andean corn beer produced by spontaneous fermentation of masa.
Chicha de Jora is a traditional Andean malt‑based beverage produced by germinating maize to generate amylases that convert starch to fermentable sugars, followed by a spontaneous mixed fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts.
Chicha de Jora fermentation is a traditional Andean technique that transforms corn starch into a lightly alcoholic, slightly sour beverage.
A mildly alcoholic, sour maize-based beverage fermented by lactic acid bacteria and yeast.
A traditional Andean fermented maize beverage produced by malting or chewing maize to introduce amylase, converting starch into fermentable sugars that are then fermented by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts.
Chicha is a traditional fermented beverage made from maize or cassava, produced by amylolytic hydrolysis of starch and subsequent alcoholic fermentation.
Chicha is a traditional fermented beverage made from maize or cassava that relies on amylase-mediated saccharification followed by mixed yeast‑bacterial fermentation.
Traditional Andean fermented corn beverage where salivary amylase initiates saccharification.
Chicha morada is a traditional Peruvian beverage produced by fermenting purple corn mash with pineapple peel and spices.
A sweet, purple corn-based beverage steeped with pineapple, cinnamon, and cloves.
Controlled thermal breakdown of subcutaneous adipose tissue to achieve simultaneous collagen crisping and fat liquefaction.
A fast and flavorful cooking technique that involves quickly cooking chicken and vegetables in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
Chickpea flour extrusion is a modern innovation in plant-based cuisine that involves mixing chickpea flour with water and other ingredients, then forcing the mixture through a die to create a desired shape.
Chickpea protein production isolates globulins and albumins through wet extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and extrusion to create functional plant-based ingredients.
Chickpea protein shear extrusion uses heat, shear, and moisture to unfold, align, and cross‑link protein chains into a fibrous snack texture.
Slicing technique for leafy green vegetables
A technical challenge requiring precise thermal control to maintain poblano structural integrity while achieving even doneness.
Chilean chicha is a maize‑based fermented beverage produced by spontaneous or inoculated yeast fermentation at moderate temperatures.
Controlled microbial fermentation transforms shrimp and chilies into complex umami paste.
Emulsification of chili pepper oil and cream to create a spicy and creamy dessert sauce.
