The Department of Food Science &Technology has evolved from origins at the Berkeley campus, in the Department of Viticulture and Enology, in 1918, and the Department of Dairy Industry, in 1908.
Research in the Food Science and Technology department is clustered into several main excellence areas. We have vibrant programs in preservation, packaging, sensory and consumer science, microbiology, safety, and fruit and vegetable harvest technology. Some of these areas are highlighted below.
