Full Description

This exam focuses on the chemical composition of food, emphasizing the interactions among various ingredients. Students will assess how these interactions influence flavor, color, and texture in food products.

Understanding the chemical properties of food components is critical for developing nutritional products and for food safety standards. This knowledge informs quality control measures and impacts consumer health and preferences.

The exam will evaluate students' verbal ability to articulate theoretical concepts, including molecular interactions, oxidative stability, and emulsification processes. Students must demonstrate an understanding of these principles through discussion.

Additionally, students may be asked to relate concepts to contemporary issues in food science, such as food preservation methods and sensory analysis.

Sample Questions

  • How do the interactions between sugar and protein impact the Maillard reaction in food?
  • What role does pH play in determining the color stability of anthocyanins in food products?
