Biology and food science

A

foods are living organisms
Food scientist must understand how raw food sources are organized on the cellular level
This foundation is needed to understand how changes thatoccur during processing ,storage

Important in food safety (microbiology)

19
Q

Chemistry and food science

A

chemistry of the atoms and molecules that make up substances their arrangement into structures and the reactions they participate in

Food scientists want to know and understand the molecular structures of these food components and to study changes to them that might affect quality.

20
Q

Physics and food science

A

physics is the study of matter and energy and is concerned with the physical changes that matter experiences under certain circumstances.

Thermodynamics, or the study of heat and other forms of energy, seeks to explain the properties of matter such as the solid or liquid state of food.
