Food science integrates many branches of science and technology with the context of food related topics. This class relies on the application of the rapid advances in technology to expand and improve the food supply. Students will evaluate the effects of processing, preparation, and storage on the quality, safety, wholesomeness, and nutritive value of foods. Building on information learned in previous pathway classes and chemistry, this course illustrates scientific principles in an applied context, exposing students to the wonders of the scientific world.
