Check out Harold McGee's "On Food And Cooking" and its sequel, "The
Curious Cook". The first is a sort of broad-spectrum food/cooking
science book, while the second has chapters on all the scientific
aspects of the study of particular types of foods. So, for example,
there's a chapter on how the emulsified sauces, such as mayonnaise,
hollandaise, and all those other aises ; ) work, and different ways one
can tweak them and still make them work.
