Complexity of subject knowledge. Food chemistry majors need to master a lot of chemical knowledge, and there will be special chemical subjects for investigation in the postgraduate entrance examination. As a basic subject, chemistry is very difficult, which requires students to have solid basic knowledge and the ability to analyze and solve problems.

Universality of knowledge points. The specialty of food chemistry involves all aspects of food science, from the composition and structure of food to the processing and storage of food, which requires students to conduct in-depth research. The postgraduate entrance examination will examine the knowledge related to food science, and students need to master many knowledge points.

In addition, the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination for food majors in different universities is different. For example, it is difficult for Nanchang University to take the postgraduate entrance examination for food processing and safety, and it is easier for Northeast Agricultural University and Nanjing Agricultural University to take the postgraduate entrance examination for food science and engineering.
