Food scientists working in Australia A food science laboratory. Food science (or bromatology [1]) is the basic science and applied science of food; its scope starts at overlap with agricultural science and nutritional science and leads through the scientific aspects of food safety and food processing, informing the development of food technology.
The two major defects associated with the Gerber method include: Charring – is observed as tiny black specs at the fat/non-fat interface in the butyrometer. This problem is due to charring of the milk proteins by the concentrated Gerber acid.

Nima is a portable food sensor designed to enable individuals with food allergies and sensitivities to test their food for specific proteins. Nima created and leads the category of consumer food testers. The first product, a gluten sensor, was released in for general availability in February 2017.
Traditionally, food companies would send food samples to laboratories for physical testing. Typical analyses include: moisture (water) by loss of mass at 102 °C; protein by analysis of total nitrogen, either by Dumas or Kjeldahl methods; total fat, traditionally by a solvent extraction, but often now by secondary methods such as NMR
Foodomics was defined in 2009 as "a discipline that studies the Food and Nutrition domains through the application and integration of advanced -omics technologies to improve consumer's well-being, health, and knowledge". [1] Foodomics requires the combination of food chemistry, biological sciences, and data analysis.
To undertake any analysis, unless the whole amount of food to be considered is very small so that the food can be used for testing in its entirety, it is usually necessary for a portion of it to be taken (e.g. a small quantity from a full production batch, or a portion of what is on sale in a shop) – this process is known as food sampling.
