The chemical composition of various foods and the processes involved with food production and storage will be presented qualitatively. The effects of certain classes of molecules on food flavor/texture/color, and other food industry applications, will also be discussed. Students will perform laboratory experiments to examine the scientific principles underpinning the composition and analysis of food products.
