food science

Food science studies the stages of processing that food goes through between harvest and consumption. There are many subdisciplines that specifically concern themselves with studying narrowed fields, such as controlling foodborn pathogens, industrial processing. Product engineering is a combination of food chemistry, market testing, and a study of potential methods of cooking.

The raw foods diet is the result of carefully controlled chemistry research, and outside of the sharing of recipes, is largely dependant on outsourced molecular level chemistry for raw food news and information updates. The study of raw foods focuses on the precise temperatures at which various living compounds react chemically, and falls into the fields of gastronomy and organic chemistry.
