  1. Food Scientist

  2. What Is It? • A food scientist can study many different aspects of food. These subjects include: chemistry, analysis, microbiology, engineering, process control, and functional foods. You work in a lab environment. Depending on what you specialize in you may be creating a new food or coming up with a way to replace a food with a chemical to prevent allergic reactions. It is a very hands on and interactive job. Food science is a great area to use creativity and take risks.

  3. THE FUTURE! • Every day children are born and new allergies come along. It is up to a food scientist to make sure those kids still have a vast menu of foods to choose from. Plus people are always looking for a new food to try. This career has a wide outlook.

  4. MONEY MONEY MONEY!

  5. Education • To be a food scientist you need a minimum of 4 years of college. If you want to specialize or get more money you can keep going for 2-4 more years. Many colleges offer this major. However, the best college to attend in Missouri is Mizzou.

  6. THE DAY AND THE LIFE • During the day a food scientist spends their time in the lab. They work with many different chemicals and substances. Food scientist also have to test any new foods they come up with. It is also required that they write up what they have tried and any other important information they find out. However, like I said before it is a very hands on job.

  7. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? • Some other jobs that are similar include: • Meat Science • Processing Technology • Food Nutrition

  8. FUN FACTS 1.The remains of fast-food shops have been found in ancient ruins! Even ancient Greeks enjoyed take-out. The only thing that is new is the mass production, standard menus and recipes of fast-food "chains." 2. Ice cream is Chinese food! 3. The first cereal ever produced was shredded wheats.
