We buy all kinds of foods from the market. We have food every day. Do you ever think about how these foods come to our tables?
Food scientists use scientific methods from physics, chemistry and biology to make foods healthy, safe, tasty and easy to cook. Some food scientists pay attention to the taste and “mouth feel” of foods. They found that high-fat foods usually had a very good mouth feel. It is not healthful to eat too many high-fat foods. So food scientists try to develop low-fat foods that have the same mouth feel. Other food scientists pay attention to nutrition(营养). They may study adding vitamins(维生素) and minerals(矿物质) to many kinds of breads. This can help people avoid some health problems. Adding vitamin D to fruit juice helps kids get enough vitamin D. Without them, a person's bones are not hard enough to support the person's weight.
Food scientists study at least four years of food science in college. They work in the food processing industry. Some work in universities. Some work in the government.
