I like how research in food science uses everyday items (milk, in my case). I think it makes the research more interesting to people not involved in science everyday.

Yikes! That’s a toughie! I’m just back from Chicago where I was with lots of my Food Science friends are we all research such different aspects. I adore my area which is food for health (so kind of like nutrition). I also LOVE microbiology and still actively keep involved by being a teaching assistant in this area! Microbes are so cools

My favourite aspect is sensory science – I worked in a sensory evaluation centre in the US as a post-doc and really loved it. Sensory science looks at people evaluate products, particularly for tastes and flavours. We place people in isolated booths, and we even have coloured lights to cover up differences in colours of products, because so many things can affect how we perceive flavour. If something is more darkly coloured than another, it can make you think that flavour in stronger, even if there is no difference in the taste!

Eat to live or Live to Eat, I feel that former is the better aspect of food science.
