Food quality and safety science is the application of biological and physical sciences to food systems. Interest in food quality and safety has grown in recent years because of the increasing awareness of the vital role of food in the health, well-being, and economic status of individuals and nations. Professional food scientists ensure that an acceptable, nutritious, safe and appealing selection of foods is available. They also play a major role in increasing the supply of foods urgently needed to provide an adequate diet for a rapidly growing world population.

Research in food science is concerned with the development of fundamental information about the chemical, physical, and biological properties and interactions of foods and food components. This information is necessary for developing optimum processes and conditions to enhance the nutritive value, safety, and quality of foods.
