Food science is the study of the physical, biological, and chemical properties of food, how food deteriorates, and food processing concepts. Food scientists apply various scientific disciplines like chemistry, engineering, microbiology, and nutrition to study food and improve its safety, nutrition, quality, and availability. Depending on their specialty, food scientists may develop methods to process, preserve, package, and store food according to industry and government standards and regulations. Food technology applies food science principles to select, preserve, process, package, distribute, and safely use food. Related fields include analytical chemistry, biotechnology, engineering, nutrition, quality control, and food safety management.

Food science is the study of the physical, biological, and chemical
makeup of food, the causes of food deterioration, and the concepts underlying food processing. Food scientists and technologists apply scientific disciplines, including chemistry, engineering, microbiology, and nutrition, to the study of food to improve the safety, nutrition, wholesomeness, and availability of food. Depending on their area of specialization, food scientists may develop ways to process, preserve, package, and/or store food according to industry and government specifications and regulations. Food technology is the application of food science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food. Related fields include analytical chemistry, biotechnology, engineering, nutrition, quality control, and food safety management.
