Food Science & Chemistry

While food science involves chemistry, biology, drugs, biochemistry, microbiology, nutrition, and engineering, the major portion of a food science class is chemistry. A food druggist is someone who analyzes and improves the chemical composition of foods. They concentrate on storehouse, distribution, safety, processing, scent, and flavor of the food. They experiment with chemical proportions to ameliorate the flavors and nutritive quality of foods.
