Combine STEM with your passion for food to make it tastier, healthier and more sustainable
We’ve just launched another great resource in partnership with Monash University and it’s a really good one if we do say so ourselves! Check out our brand new Food Chemist Job Kit.
So what exactly is a food chemist? Well, they’re someone who examines foods at a molecular level. They study nutrients that humans need to keep healthy, individual flavours and preservatives, contaminants, and changes that happen when cooking or spoiling. And as the world’s population grows, they’re interested in sustainability too. This includes how to grow more food, how to preserve food and how to limit waste.
In this Job Kit, you’ll find study pathways, real-life stories from people studying and working in this area, job prospects and salary information.
