OverviewFood Science deals with the production,processing,
distribution, preparation,evaluation, and utilization of
food.Flavor Chemists mix aroma chemicals, oils,and plant extracts
to create artificial
flavorings for many food products.

Job FunctionsFood chemists test food for harmful bacteria.Study
the methods of processing and

Job OutlookFood ingredient supply companies are likelyto have
more jobs available than those thatprocess food, since the
processors have beenshifting research responsibilities to
theirsuppliers. Job growth among food chemists should beabout as
fast as the average for all occupations.

Education and TrainingFlavor Chemists a bachelors in chemistry
ispreferred but not necessary. Five years as atrainee working with
senior flavor chemistsand then a two year apprenticeship.Food
Chemists: a degree in chemistry or
