ABSTRACT
The new phenomenon in the hotel industry is Molecular gastronomy, a new progress in food production method, which has significantly influenced food presentation and the guest happiness over time. Despite the fact that molecular gastronomy is sometimes confused with molecular cookery, it is the application of sophisticated chemical and biochemistry to produce new dishes. Disperse system formalism has led to the development of several new molecular gastronomy dishes. Only when the required components such as hydrocolloids, specification and flash freezing methods, and tools like hoover machines and gastrovacs are present can molecular gastronomy be accomplished. The concepts and most recent applications of molecular gastronomy in different nations are reviewed in this work. This study aims to develop new food items with enhanced nutritional profiles, longer shelf lives, and distinctive sensory qualities while using the least amount of energy and waste possible. In response to changing customer demands for ecologically friendly, health-conscious, and immersive dining options, the results are anticipated to spur new trends in food production.
