"Food
science is a somewhat odd amalgam of scientific disciplines, including
basic sciences, 'soft' science,
culinary arts and its outgrowths,
chemistry, biology, economics, agronomics, microbiology, and
engineering. There are others, but 'food science' is the common theme
that turns traditional foods into a variety of specialty products and
makes them tasty, safe, available, and convenient. Food supply and
security are sometimes prominent in the roster, and other disciplines
take their place from time to time. It is rare that food science teaches
something truly new-but the 'devil is in the details,' and food science
takes knowledge to a supremely practical use."
