ELI5: How do Companies Like Kfc, Mcdonalds or even Coca Cola protect their recipes? wont modern science be able to breakdown whats exactly in the food they serve?

Yes you can break down the exact components of something like Coke and see what is in there.

It won't help.

I could tell you a house is made of several hundred boards, a few thousand nails, hundreds of pounds of gypsum, various types of metals (copper, iron), some plastic, and some other stuff.

Does that help you *build* a house? No. What is secret is the *process*, the actual recipe. *How* to make it. *When* to put in certain ingredients. It's much more about what it's made of. It's about consistency, texture, stability, and many more things.
