Why does burning food turn black?
When food gets hot for a long time the complex carbons in food react and break down enough to leave behind pure carbon, which is black. This will happen with pretty much any food.
At lower temperatures, food will brown due to similar reactions. When this is done with sugar and proteins, such as the grilling of meat, it forms aroma and flavour compounds undergoing mallard reaction. If it is done with carbohydrates such as sugar, is called Caramelization.
