Food Chemistry Course

What will I learn?

Open up the secrets of food chemistry with our proper Food Chemistry Course (Nshima Science), made for food people who want to improve their knowledge. Go deep into how food lasts longer, looking at how moisture, heat (temperature), and how sour or sweet things are (pH) affect it. Learn how proteins, carbohydrates (like nshima), and fats work together, and understand chemical reactions like when food browns because of enzymes (enzymatic browning) and when fats go bad (lipid oxidation). Learn how to make food healthier by finding new ways to mix ingredients and share difficult scientific information clearly. Improve your food science skills today!
