Do you love food? Do you know how to cook? Are you particular with ingredients and how it affects the body?
Food Science is a field of study that looks at the physical, biological, chemical and technical aspects of food, from harvesting or slaughtering to cooking and the eating. Activities of food scientists include the development of new food products, design of processes to produce these foods, choice of packaging materials, shelf-life studies, and sensory evaluation of the product with trained expert panels or potential consumers, as well as microbiological and chemical testing.
On a practical level, food scientists help to improve the quality of life of humans by searching for new and better ways of selecting, preserving, processing, packaging, distributing food products and discovering new possibilities of food sources.

Malaysia’s food industry is as diverse as the multi-cultures of Malaysia, with a wide range of processed food with Asian tastes. The food processing industry is predominantly Malaysian-owned. It is estimated that the present global retail sales in food products are worth around US$3.5 trillion, and are expected to grow at an annual rate of 4.8 per cent to US$6.4 trillion by 2020. Malaysia remains a net importer of food in 2011 (RM34.5 billion).
In 2011, Malaysia exported food products worth RM20.6 billion to more than 200 countries, of which, processed food contributed about RM13.5 billion. The main exports were cocoa and cocoa preparations (RM3.8 billion), prepared cereals and flour preparations (RM1.6 billion) and margarine and shortening (RM1.3 billion). Major export destinations were Singapore, the USA, Indonesia and Republic of China. According to the 2013 Budget, The government will also allocate RM75 million to increase the output of food and health products.
