and other information. From allicin (the molecule responsible for the odor of crushed garlic) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to xylitol (the sugar substitute) and zingerone (which gives ginger a hot taste), there are always fascinating molecules that relate chemistry to everyday life.
The new app automatically delivers these features (plus a game quiz) to the convenience of an iPhone, iPod Touch, and the just-released iPad. There are other cool features, too � such as a clue that appears with a shake of an iPhone or iPod � all designed to make the MOTW iPhone app not only informative but fun, too.
