Food Science

Food Science is the interdisciplinary study of the physical, biological, and chemical phenomena associated with food. It encompasses the exploration of food composition, processing, preservation, and safety, as well as the sensory properties that affect taste and nutrition. Food scientists apply principles from various fields, including chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and nutrition, to innovate and improve food products and systems. The goal of food science is to enhance food quality, safety, and sustainability while addressing consumer needs and preferences. This field also involves research and development to create new food items, optimize production processes, and ensure compliance with safety regulations, ultimately contributing to the food supply chain and public health.
