    well i know that halacha tells us what chometz is, my question is there a way to prove something is chometz through science? what is the chemical reaction that creates chometz? this could be a big money maker as i could sell every jewish home a chometz checker which you can use to simply scan your home for hidden traces of the stuff

    Bah. Who wants a hyperdrive when you can have a warp drive?

    Yeah, the scientific definition is when it turns white or forms cracks.

    Keep in mind that if you do invent such a thing, in ten years they will say that everyone is mechuyav to have it.

    The question is, if I make a chemical that will reverse the oxidation would that be valid Lehalacha?

    I don’t think halacha would rely on such a definition, which would be a humrah. It would tend to pasul everything.

    Actually, the Poskim debate whether flour mixed with pure juice and baking soda is a problem. It rises but is not fermentation.
