water and its relation to food
the glycobiology of food components
enzymes
plant, animal, and human hormones
functional foods, herbs, and dietary supplements
flavor compounds in foods
organic acids
interactions between the environment with food components
biological and lipid oxidation in foods
food safety
nutrition and the genetic makeup of individual food components
