在这里学什么？

Supplying an expanding global population with adequate food is one of the greatest challenges facing humankind in the 21st century. The Food Science major prepares students for leadership positions in the food industry, academia, and government. Our research programs are designed to expand understanding of the biological/microbiological, chemical, physical, sensory, nutritional, and engineering properties of foods and beverages.

At CALS, Food Science students are gaining skills and advancing the knowledge necessary to make meaningful contributions toward ensuring that all people have access to a safe, healthy, affordable, and sustainable food supply. Cornell faculty and students are engaged in cutting-edge research designed to:

• Identify and prevent outbreaks of foodborne illnesses.
• Develop improved preservation methods to expand the available food supply.
• Evaluate the role of fruit and vegetables in preventing cancer.
• Reduce nutrient losses during processing, storage, and transport of foods.
• Improve the effectiveness of food fortification.
• Develop foods that may someday travel to other planets with astronauts.

Three paths are available in this major

Food Science provides an integrated curriculum that blends fundamental science with the more applied aspects of the science of foods. This option includes core courses in the microbiology and safety of foods, food processing and engineering, the chemistry of foods and food ingredients, and sensory evaluation of foods.

Food Operations and Management deals with the principles and practices pertinent to efficient management of food processing, preservation, distribution and marketing operations. This option is offered to meet the needs of students that are more interested in the business or marketing side of the food industry.

Food Safety provides a comprehensive curriculum covering physical, chemical and biological hazards that affect the safety of foods while providing a solid background in applied food science.
