What are some of the differences between Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics?
Food Science deals with the science and technology which is required to bring our food to us from the fields and oceans and into our grocery stores and homes. Food Science ensures a safe food supply. Proper storage and processing prevent the transfer, or the production, of toxicants. Biotechnology creates new, innovative, useful foodstuffs by manipulation of biological source materials; sensory science allows consumer testing and product research; quality control maintains production standards; engineering develops new methods of processing, and perhaps even new ways to make familiar foods. Food Science gives you frozen orange juice, shelf stable meals, cake mixes, convenience, quality, value, and variety.
