The Food Science and Nutrition stream will build your knowledge of the physiological and biochemical mechanisms?underlying metabolism, health and disease. We emphasise the links between food and health through hands-on laboratory courses and visits to several food industries to observe mass-scale production and the processes involved. Through this, you’ll understand how processes can be used to preserve nutrients in food and how nutrients can be added for food fortification, for example. The product design and development project offers an authentic design experience which integrates industry involvement, case studies, IP and product development. It’s a real-world opportunity for you to understand and apply the process from conception to development.
