All About Food Chemist by Carrie X Chen https://padlet.com/cxc9246/sgy8pk8g0jci Carrie Chen Mrs.Snyder 2nd period en-us 2017-05-13 16:25:02 UTC 2024-11-13 23:20:10 UTC hello@padlet.com What they do cxc9246 https://padlet.com/cxc9246/sgy8pk8g0jci/wish/171729817 A food chemist is a scientific expert that works in the field of chemistry.  Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes of the non biological and biological components of foods. They ensure the safety of the consumers by using chemistry to test the food microbiological composition and analyze and evaluate the food with food monitoring.

-Do analysis of food with different chemicals
-Research food components
-May have to visit factories or farms to gather working environment evidence

Do you know anyone who already does this? cxc9246 https://padlet.com/cxc9246/sgy8pk8g0jci/wish/171730072 I am interested in this field because I love to eat food, and I’ve always wondered how much work they have to put into testing the food in order to let the consumers eat it. I found out that this job existed by researching about jobs related to chemistry and food. I do not know anyone who is in this field, but it would be cool to research on the foods that I like to eat.

Will you be doing research, teaching, applying knowledge- or a combination of these? cxc9246 https://padlet.com/cxc9246/sgy8pk8g0jci/wish/171730277 This job requires food chemist to work in a laboratory, or sometimes they have to visit farms and factories to gather evidence and information for their lab. They also do research on their findings- such as the analysis of reactions of the foods, microbiology research of the components, evaluate the food’s processing bacterial growth and such. They give their findings to the food company that they are researching for.

  1. Possible exposure to hazardous chemicals 
  2. High responsibility- because the food consumer population is extremely large
  3. May experience unpleasant working conditions

The act is important because it is one of the reason why the FDA was established. He contributed largely to food processing because he used chemistry to find out how dirty the factory environments were during the industrialization period. Dr. Harvey Wiley also exposed the harms of many drugs, especially tobacco.
