In this five week (one day per week) course learners will be introduced to five careers in food science: microbiology, food engineering, food chemistry, nutrition, and sensory analysis.

Class experience

This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their understanding of what food science entails and the careers possible within the field.
I have taught food science basics at all levels (up to university) for the past seven years and am excited to introduce the field to a new generation.

1 empty two-liter soda bottle 
- cut off the top of the bottle, approximately 1-2" inches below the neck of the bottle

Class 3: Food Chemistry
Red cabbage
- Chop a cabbage into small pieces and add them to a pot of water. Put in enough water to fill all your containers about 1/3 of the way full. Boil the water for about 10 minutes, then let the pot rest for another 30 minutes. Drain the cabbage water and throw away the boiled cabbage. Take the cabbage water with you to class.

For Salt and Sweet (Salt and Sugar)
- Dissolve 1 Tbsp of ingredient into 1 cup of water
- Pour into cup labeled with the respective basic taste
For Sour
-  Dissolve ½ Tbsp of citric acid into 1 cup of water OR combine the juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes with ½ cup of water

Although the activities have been designed for the learner to complete on their own, it is always nice to have a helping hand.
