Emergence definition

The process of cooking sugar or other carbohydrates to a golden-brown color and a caramel-like flavor emerges from the transformation of food through the transfer of thermal energy, resulting in a change in the kinetic energy of particles and a change in the food's state, which requires a fundamental component of the complex patterns and transformations that give rise to food.
