About this Quiz

Food science is an interdisciplinary field that applies theories from chemistry, microbiology and other physical sciences to the study of food. The discipline uses these theories to better understand food processes and ultimately improve food products for the general public. Food scientists work to develop safe, nutritious, and sustainable food sources. They study the physical, microbiological, and chemical makeup of food and along the way, they make important discoveries about the food we eat, how it nourishes our bodies, how it is produced and processed, and how it is safely delivered to consumers. Food chemistry, for instance, delves into the chemical reactions that occur during the cooking process, as well as the raw state of food and the effects of agricultural practices. Food microbiology, on the other hand, is concerned with the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food. This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage, as well as those producing fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine. Food packaging is another crucial aspect of food science, focusing on protecting and preserving food from damage during transport and storage. Finally, food engineering is a multidisciplinary field of applied physical sciences combined with the knowledge of product properties.
