Food Science

Welcome to the Food Science Undergraduate Program! Food scientists make food. They can change corn into cola, seaweed to salad dressing, and milk from a cow to whipping cream from a can. Food scientists use raw materials and change them into products that provide nutrition in a satisfying way.

More than this, food science also involves creating new food products and making current products more stable, nutritious, convenient, reliable and safe. Food science begins with an understanding of the plants and animals that will become food, and ends with an understanding of why people choose to eat certain foods.
