Food chemistry

Study of chemical processes in food

Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of foods. The biological substances include such items as meat, poultry, lettuce, beer, and milk as examples. It is similar to biochemistry in its main components such as carbohydrates, lipids, and protein, but it also includes substances such as water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, food additives, flavors, and colors.
