  • We all know bacon is delicious.

  • It’s so delicious, other foods

  • are made better by adding bacon.

  • You can even wash your body in bacon.

  • But there’s something else that makes bacon

  • the best breakfast food out there:

  • the smell.

  • Throw some bacon into the pan,

  • and as soon as the sizzle starts,

  • people are flocking to the kitchen

  • but why?

  • Our friend over atcompound interest”,

  • a chemistry blog, broke down

  • the aroma science for us.

  • Turns out there are about *150* organic compounds

  • that contribute to the sweet smell of bacon.

  • See, when you throw it in the pan,

  • sugars react with amino acids in the bacon.

  • It’s called themaillard reaction

  • and it’s basically what causes anything you cook

  • (steaks, breads, dumplings, etc) to turn brown.

  • For bacon, the maillard reaction combines with

  • melting fats to produce the aroma compounds.

  • What are they, you say as you get hungrier?

  • About two thirds of the compounds

  • are hydrocarbons and aldehydes.

  • Hydrocarbons are just hydrogen and carbon atoms

  • chained together in thousands of different ways.

  • Some of those chains just happen

  • to produce a pleasant odor.

  • Aldehydes are equally simple.

  • They still have carbon, but they bond

  • with oxygen as well as hydrogen

  • and some produce a lovely smell.

  • But it may just be nitrogen-containing

  • compounds that make bacon smell

  • like nothing else in the universe.

  • These compounds are called pyridines and pyrazines,

  • which put off smells of their own.

  • Pyridines in bacon contribute to itsmeatyaroma.

  • But combine them with hydrocarbons

  • and aldehydes and they become

  • the major contributor to bacon-y goodness.

  • So there you have it.

  • 150 compounds all mixing together in

  • a pan to make bacon smell delicious.

  • If you haven’t already,

  • and check out some of our other videos.

  • Maybe you like hot sauce on your bacon.

  • Maybe youre allergic to it

  • (which would be awful).

  • Weve got all your chemistry needs

  • covered here at reactions.

  • Thanks for watching and a big thanks

  • to compound interest for his help

  • with our bacon video.

We all know bacon is delicious.
