Food Science is an exciting multidisciplinary scientific field where concepts of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, engineering, & nutrition are utilized to develop and produce foods which are safe, palatable, healthy, and economical.

After completing coursework in the basic sciences, food science students take specialized courses in food chemistry, food analysis, food engineering, food microbiology, processing, and product development.

Students are provided the opportunity to make practical applications of their studies by applying their knowledge to food formulation and production problems experienced by the industry.

An internship or other experience is required for graduation. The quality academic training we provide has enabled our food science program to be approved by the Institute of Food Technologists.

Our Food Science program is housed within the Poultry Science Department. Visit our website to learn more about this department and our majors and programs. Visit poul.auburn.edu today!

We’re invested in science for healthy, sustainable solutions to improve lives in our state and beyond.

You can also contact Dr. Leonard Bell, food science professor & coordinator and Food Science professor by e-mailing bellleo@auburn.edu.

The ever changing food industry must not only be profitable for manufacturers, but needs to meet the demands of consumers and ideally meet their dietary guidelines for health maintenance. To accomplish these objectives, food scientists use their scientific training within the multi-billion dollar food industry.

With expertise in Food Science, graduates are prepared to enter many areas of the food industry, including quality control, research and development, or management.

Students seeking a way of using their scientific background in a meaningful way should consider Food Science as their field of study. After all, each food product on the grocery store shelves was conceptualized, developed, and manufactured by a team of food scientists.

Majoring in Food Science canopen up career possibilities you may never have known about.The field of Food Science has many career opportunities. Our Food Science graduates have been placed in jobs with noteworthy companies all over the country. Here are some examples of positions our graduates have accepted in recent years:

• QUALITY ASSURANCE SUPERVISOR, KEYSTONE FOODS• QUALITY MANAGER, FLOWERS BAKERY• MANAGER TRAINEE, HARRISON POULTRY• QUALITY ASSURANCE & FOOD SAFETY ADMINISTRATOR FOR CARGILL, INC.

• REGULATORY AFFAIRS MANAGER, COTT BEVERAGES• PROJECT MANAGER, BLUE BELL CREAMERIES• SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYST, TREATT PLC• CONFECTIONS AND SNACKS DEPLOYER, NESTLE USA• RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIST, R.L. SCHREIBER

FOOD SCIENCE CLUB

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

CAMPUS EVENTS EXPERIMENTSThe food science club meets monthly for professional develop-ment & campus inovlement.

We’ve developed “Aubie Dots”, frozen ice cream dots that we give away at campus events!

Our presence at some events in-cludes educating younger students about Food Science.

Ag Roundup and Ag Discovery day are two of the many events the Food Science club attends.

Food safety and quality depend on solid research done within our program.

COMPETITIONSWe’ve taken part in IFT com-petitions incuding the Disney’s product development.

See it for yourself.
