Food Science
Food Science is the study of physical, chemical, biological and engineering properties of food and their effects on the sensory, nutritional, and storage aspects as well as safety. Therefore it interfaces with and draws upon many scientific disciplines.
Today, consumers are seeking foods that are safer, tastier, more convenient, natural, healthy, good value and produced in more sustainable ways than ever before. Recent advancements in science and technology have opened new frontiers for the production and prolonging shelf life, providing convenience and health benefits, thus creating exciting and challenging opportunities to work.
