Food Science Made Easy
Food Science Made Easy
Description
Book Introduction
Food must not only function as a simple source of nutrition, but must also satisfy the consumer's senses with color, flavor, and physical properties, and must ensure hygienic safety to fully demonstrate its value as food.
Therefore, from the perspective of producers and consumers, in order to produce and select healthy and delicious food and practice a proper diet, it is necessary to understand the physical and chemical characteristics of the various elements that make up food, as well as the changes during cooking and processing, the interactions between ingredients, and the physiological activity characteristics.


This book aims to help people understand food science by covering basic theories such as the types, structures and characteristics of food components such as moisture, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins, chemical reactions, changes during cooking, color, flavor, physical properties, and toxic substances. It also tries to cover new information and the latest research trends in food science.
This book will be a helpful guide for those majoring in food science-related fields such as food nutrition, culinary science, food science, and food processing technology, as well as for students preparing for certifications as nutritionists, cooks, hygienists, and food processors, and the general public.
In addition, it is expected that it will be able to provide basic knowledge to experts necessary for the development and research of health foods, functional foods, and customized foods.
