So much stuff to say here...
- 6 - Maillard Reaction(s) - There are actually a whole bunch of reactions that fall under the umbrella of Maillard Reaction(s) so, the name should really be plural...There's also some idea that the Maillard Reactions produce some carcinogenic by products.
- 5 - Bronze - By all the definitions I've ever heard, alloying metals doesn't qualify as a chemical reaction. It's an important process, yes, but not necessarily a chemical reaction...Did he really say, "pokey sticks"?...sheesh...
- 4 - Fermentation - Again, lots of different chemical reactions coming under one big umbrella there...and there's no mention of the actual chemical reaction that takes place within the yeast and other microorganisms that actually do the fermenting.
- 3 - Saponification - This one gets the best explanation of the actual chemical reaction happening between the triglyceride and the base. Thanks...
- 2 - Silicon - Again, melting and recrystallizing anything isn't a chemical reaction...it's impressive and well worth studying, but it's misleadingly placed in this video.
- 1 - Haber-Bosch process - This one's massively important, agreed. Easily the best choice in the video. I'd put one other reaction above this one, but it's certainly not a modern one.
And the narrator's a little annoying...but that's sort of me being catty.
