What is the Job Description for a Food Technologist
A food technologist, or food scientist, generally works in the food processing industry to develop healthy, safe, palatable, and convenient food products. This involves knowledge of chemistry, physics, engineering, biotechnology, and other sciences as well. A food technologist must create better ways to preserve food, process it, package it, store it, and even deliver it. A food technologist may also do research into new food sources or new substitutes for harmful additives. Or some food technologists work for the government as inspectors of food processing plants to ensure proper safety and sanitation standards are being met.
