in the Food Fermentation class have been hard at work learning the science behind b**r and w**e fermentation!

Our programs are designed to give students hands-on experience with the microbiology, chemistry, and processing principles that drive food and beverage fermentation. Through teaching labs led by experts in their fields, we're preparing the next generation of food industry scientists and leaders.

What does a food science internship look like? For fourth-year student Trang Nguyen, she helped reformulate 's Zero Sugar Dairy Coffee Creamer. ☕

As a research and development intern, Trang focused on improving flavor performance by redesigning sweeteners and gained practical experience in food formulation, commercialization and consumer-focused product development.

One of the best parts of Food Science? You get to eat what you make! 🍬

While not every lab produces something you'd want to sample (we're looking at you, microbiology 🦠), our food processing labs can have some pretty sweet results. Equipped for everything from freeze drying and pasteurization to fermentation and more, these labs give students hands-on experience exploring food safety, nutrition, and food processing.
