Research the roles of acids as ingredients in the kitchen using culinary journals and text. Form a hypothesis and design and conduct an experiment to identify the role of the acid ingredients in relations to food preparation techniques. Summarize experiment results into an argument making a claim about the impact of a selected acid ingredient on food composition. Compare results to findings in news media and note when findings support or contradict previous explanations or accounts. Acid ingredients may include but are not limited to vinegars, lemon juice, and lime juice.
