Food chemistry

Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all components of food. Similar to biochemistry in that it studies carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, it also includes areas such as water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, food additives, flavoring and coloring. The discipline encompasses how food products change under food processing techniques, and ways of enhancing or preventing these changes.
