University of Missouri-Columbia (Food Science Program)

Food scientists develop new ways to take raw agricultural products and turn them into the food products that consumers want to buy.

Food scientists apply the principles of basic sciences, such as biology, chemistry, engineering, physics and psychology to the problems of food production. They use their understanding of the basic sciences to examine aspects of food manufacturing such as: consumer acceptability, economics, nutritional quality, production and safety.

At the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR), we offer two options for study in the food science area:

* The first option emphasizes the basic sciences and prepares you for work in production and process design, research and development, quality assurance and other technical aspects of food manufacturing.
* A second path focuses on business interests. You will find jobs in production management, sales and other similar careers.

We have a strong tradition in consumer acceptance research, chemistry, meat and ice cream processing, microbiology and food processing.

Within the Food Science and Engineering Division, one of six administrative divisions of CAFNR, we collaborate with biological and physical engineers, and restaurant and food preparation researchers.

Across the MU community, we collaborate with researchers in medicine, veterinary medicine, animal sciences, biochemistry, nutritional sciences, biological sciences, chemistry and microbiology.
