With the increasingly serious food crisis caused by the world population expansion and the arrival of the era of large-scale industrialization in the food field, people pay more attention to food nutrition and hygiene. The specialty of food science and engineering plays an increasingly important role in the fields of engineering design, nutrition and health, safety inspection, supervision and management of food industry.

Nowadays, with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, the food industry has entered a booming market era. With the gradual integration of western ingredients and cooking methods into Chinese food and the vigorous development of fast food industry, people now pay more and more attention to the nutrition and hygiene of food.

At this time, the specialty of food science and engineering is no longer just the title of playing with tickets in the past, nor the chef in the traditional eyes, but has become a formal profession. Some of them are responsible for formulating food hygiene standards, some specialize in developing new food types, and some study food nutrition in depth, which is also the reason why universities offer food science and engineering majors.
