>First the transparent proteins denaturate/coagulate and turn white.

So what makes the burn look white, the denaturation or the coagulation?
If the denatured proteins in the burn were not allowed to coagulate [as
would be the case under my 'rules'], would the burn still look white?

>Then keep frying and its glyco/sugar type components caramelize
>and turn brown, and upon further frying they "char" into black stuff,

Proteins have glyco/sugar components? Never knew proteins contain
carbohydrates.
