2. Adding Oil to the Water. Once upon a time, in a kitchen far, far away from Italy, a well-meaning soul declared that the secret to non-sticky pasta was to anoint the boiling water with oil.
Pasta absorbs water while it boils, so "if the water is seasoned, the pasta takes on some of that flavor." Salting pasta water is a chance to season the pasta itself, said chefs.
In aqueous solutions, redox potential is a measure of the tendency of the solution to either gain or lose electrons in a reaction. A solution with a higher (more positive) reduction potential than some other molecule will have a tendency to gain electrons from this molecule (i.e. to be reduced by oxidizing this other molecule) and a solution with a lower (more negative) reduction potential ...

Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.
The protons flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte after the reaction. At the same time, electrons are drawn from the anode to the cathode through an external circuit, producing direct current electricity. [citation needed] cathode At the cathode, another catalyst causes hydrogen ions, electrons, and oxygen to react, forming ...

An electron transport chain (ETC [1]) is a series of protein complexes and other molecules which transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H + ions) across a membrane.
