In Food Science: The Biochemistry of Food and Nutrition students learn to use the scientific method as they study the biological and chemical basis of food and nutrition. The text combines scientific principles with real-life applications of food preparation and nutrition. It is taught by the Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, a Science teacher, or by the two together. Students will learn to apply scientific principles of food and nutrition as they explore foods and nutrition using basic scientific equipment. Measurement, use of equipment, problem solving, reasoning skills and writing are emphasized. This flexible text format is adaptable to a one or two semester course.

The Biochemistry of Food & Nutrition Lab Manual features 208 pages of experiments and support materials. Includes: The Food Science Lab Working Safely in the Lab Understanding Lab Techniques Building Skills Conducting Lab Experiments Contains 67 hands-on experiments.

Enhance your program by offering a Food Science course! This high-interest Food Science text teaches students to use the scientific method as they study the biological and chemical bases of food and nutrition.

This textbook has been written for the students of B.Tech. (Dairy Technology) course being offered by different Dairy Science Colleges and various Agricultural and Deemed Universities across the country. The book will be helpful for those students, who study biochemistry and/or human nutrition as one of the subjects in Food Technology, Food Science and Technology, Food and Nutrition and other allied streams of under-graduate levels. This book is mainly divided into two sections: 1) Biochemistry; 2) Human Nutrition. First section comprises eight chapters based on metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids), basics of vitamins, enzymes, hormones and nucleic acids. Second section deals with the digestion & absorption of macronutrients, nutritional requirements of different age groups, analytical methods for qualitative & quantitative determination of nutrients, milk intolerance & hypersensitivity, safety aspects of food additives, toxic elements and radionuclides and various nutritional polices initiated by Government of India to combat malnutrition.

This "real-world" approach allows students to come away with a realistically informed view of the basis for much of our understanding of nutritional biochemistry.
