Author: Janet D. Ward, Larry T. Ward, and Jodi Songer Driedger

Principles of Food Science instructs students on the integral role that science has in producing, processing, preparing, and preserving safe food for a growing population. The important ways that chemistry, microbiology, and physics apply to food components, digestion, metabolism, and complex food systems are reviewed using real-world examples. Students learn evidence-based principles that can be applied to a future food science career and to creative, nourishing cooking techniques. The requirements and opportunities for obtaining a food science-related career are explored, as well as the economic impact of this career path. Hands-on lab activities to build skills and knowledge are included in every chapter.
