UIUC’s Food Science BS turns kitchens into high-tech biorefineries. Students learn flavor chemistry in the sensory lab, design probiotic microcapsules in the pilot plant, and simulate cold-chain logistics in the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory. Coursework bridges ingredient functionality, food safety microbiology, product development, and regulatory affairs. Collaborations with PepsiCo, Impossible Foods, and campus startup accelerators send graduates into careers where culinary creativity meets biochemical precision and global nutrition goals.
