What's food science?

Food

If you've never heard of food science, you're not alone. I found food science as a major when I was already a freshman at college and I had no idea that being a food scientist was a career before this. So, for anyone who's interested in becoming a food scientist, or maybe knows a food scientist, here's what the study of food entails! And no, I'm not a chef, dietician, or nutritionist :) Support this content? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/abbeythiel Check out my blog: https://abbeythefoodscientist.com You can also find me on Medium: https://medium.com/@abbeythiel Contact me: [email protected] Twitter: @abbey_thiel

I studied graphic design and marketing. The first lesson my teacher taught was propaganda. She said most of will end up with careers that we think are benefiting the good of others when in reality that cause great harm. These people think you are doing innocent/ valuable work but in reality we are all getting increasingly sick from all of these processed/ designed foods. All the foods in front of her is highly toxic!

Dumb question, why isn't it called "Food Engineering". I'm a computer engineer my understanding of the line between science/engineering is engineering is applied to a specific goal. I feel like with "Food Science" the application is right their in the name, someone is going to eat it! Of course alot of people study "Computer Science" (no I actually studied Computer Engineering but it was an extension on "Computer Science"). Still I think "computer science" is a misnomer too.

Lots of claims regarding what is man made foods being harmful. Any of these claims hold weight ?

I learnt Food & Nutrition during GCSEs and Food Studies during A levels. Now im planning to take BA degree in Food Science & Technology. Thanks for educating!! (yes people often addressed those who are studying food sci as a “chef” or baker when it’s literally two different things). Food science : how food is preserved and how the packaging helped to extend the shelf life, how lecithin in egg yolk help to emulsify water and oil to make mayonnaise for example. How some food expanded and the changes when its cooking. Its so much fun!

Hello I know I’m really late but I would love to ask what the average salary is. I’m very interested in the idea of food science. I want a job that I will be interested and enjoy while making enough money to support my ideal lifestyle. I may seem selfish for asking for the paying salary but I just want to know that I can live comfortably living off of something I might enjoy.

It automatically came to my mind when I was thinking about making a new snack, like what ingredients would make it better and how would I preserve it? Your explanation with examples was excellent.

What if I have an Associates of Applied Science in Baking and Pastry arts? Could I become a food scientist if I ever wanted too?

I’m getting a bs degree in microbiology and I’m interested in being a food scientist. Do I actually need a master degree to become a food scientist or I could start with just my degree?
