Edible products expert
A food scientist studies the physical, chemical, and biological properties of food.
The field encompasses food safety, preservation, nutrition, and product development.
Food scientists work in laboratories testing shelf life, in factories improving production processes, or developing new products: Food scientists created a plant-based burger that mimics beef.
The discipline bridges chemistry, biology, and engineering.
