One of the most unusual aspects of food science I learned about is the process of microencapsulating. Smells or gasses are microencapsulated and added to food to make it smell better. This process is done to make cheaper foods more appealing. Also there are many parts to food science. It starts with the engineering and chemistry (the making of the food), to the microbiology (making the food last long in packages), and end in the consumer trends (making the food sell better). Finally there actually is a major called food science or food technology.
