Franklin's book on BBQ delves pretty deep into cook science and has about 2/3 of what he does when he cooks.
His section on the science of smoke is outstanding.

Len Poli's site....read the stuff on making salami and how salt and acid transforms the meat. Protein denaturing, soluble proteins and salt, and how PH affects meat.

Stanley Marianski’s; Home Production Of Quality Meats and Sausages,
This is a invaluable book.

The only books I find adequate are Marianski's and the USDA for scientific accuracy....

The Perfect Steak Cookbook by Will Budiaman was a decent quick read!

I'm an echo of what those guys say.... HOPEFULLY I don't mis-translate their facts....
