Studies prepare students formany science, dietetics, food industry, and health‐relatedcareers. Producing, processing, preparing, evaluating, and using food are all aspects of this field.They are interrelated, and cross over into many branches of science, including biology, botany,physiology, zoology, bacteriology, organic chemistry, physics, and biotechnology. Although manytopics food sciencemaybe investigated, theprimary emphasis of this course is on the science ofnutrition.
