II. Food, Science, and Technology

1. Food Science- the scientific study of food and its preparation. 2. Food Science helps you understand why certain instructions or ingredients in a recipe are important. For example: A. if any fat gets into egg whites, the meringue on a pie will fall and not be fluffy. B. Not putting baking soda or baking powder in your cake will cause your cake not to rise. 3. Food technologists help develop new foods and improve existing ones by relying on knowledge of food, nutrition, science and technology. A. For example: sugar free foods that taste sweet. What’s an example of another new food developed using technology? _________________________________________________

4. Ergonomics- the study of ways to make tools and equipment easier and more comfortable to use. 5. Ergonomics helps to simplify work and make easier methods for getting work done.

A. Examples include: - Computerized appliances 6. Technology plays a major role in how foods are produced, processed, packaged and shipped. A. Examples include: - Computerized appliances -Food preservatives that keep food fresher longer - Agricultural advances like hydroponics Can you think of any other technological advances with foods and food preparation? ______________________________________
