WHAT IS FOOD SCIENCE? > The study of producing, processing, preparing, evaluating, and using food > What does this mean to you? Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2017. All rights reserved. 3

FOOD SCIENTISTS IN HISTORY > Sir Francis Bacon – Preservation through freezing > Justus von Liebig – Researches on the Chemistry of Foods > Fannie Farmer – Boston Cooking School Cookbook > George Washington Carver – Developed more than 100 products from peanuts, sweet potatoes, and pecans > Clarence Birdseye – Flash freezing Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2017.

AREAS OF FOOD SCIENCE > Production > Processing > Evaluation > Use Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2017. All rights reserved. 5

FOOD PRODUCTION > Food Chain – Process in which matter and energy transfer between organisms as food. > Food Production – Techniques for raising crops and animals for > food > *Example: Food scientists discover new ways to treat soil to > produce the most nutritious crops. > Biotechnology - Scientists use the tools of modern genetics in the age-old process of improving plants, animals, and micro- organisms for food production. > *Example: Food scientists improve products by enhancing or eliminating traits that a plant or animal inherits Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2017. All rights reserved. 6

FOOD PROCESSING > Processing takes food that has been produced and puts it through steps to create a final marketable result. > Researchers in food science help develop more affordable > means of producing foods and retaining nutrients. > Quality control specialists monitor foods through the stages of processing to ensure the foods meet government and industry standards. > *Check storage areas for cleanliness > *Develop food labels after testing foods for nutrient content.

FOOD PREPARATION > Food scientists are responsible for the cooking directions on the back of our food products. > Science is used to determine cooking factors, such as time and temperature. These factors are based on the type of food and how different ingredients will react under certain situations. > *This keeps our food safe and enjoyable! > Food scientists answer the “WHYS” we come across in the kitchen. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2017. All rights reserved. 8

EVALUATION OF FOOD > Evaluation is a before and after process. > Test kitchens and evaluation laboratories conduct crucial research to determine whether people will buy a product. They focus on taste, texture, appearance, flavor, and other similar qualities. > Initially, food is evaluated to be cost effective. > Later, evaluation of the product determines two things: • Will people buy the product? • Will people enjoy the product?

UTILIZATION OF FOOD > Food scientists are always searching to find new uses for food items, but now more than ever before. Why? > * Consumer demands are growing to new levels and putting a strain on our earth’s resources. > -Looking for every possible use of a food has led to soybeans in our newsprint items and corn in our gasoline!
