Within Camelus two species are generally accepted: C. dromedarius, the one-humped or Arabian camel or dromedary; and C. bactrianus, the Bactrian camel or two-humped camel. Biologically, the species division is not correct, as the two freely interbreed in either direction and produce fertile offspring. There are four species of new world Camelidae of which two are domesticated and two wild. The llama, L. glama, is used mainly as a pack animal, while the alpaca, L. pacos, is primarily a producer of high quality fibre. The two wild species are the guanaco, L. guanicoe and the vicuna, . | FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Department of Food Science Technology Undergraduate Programs College of Food Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Inside Undergraduate Program Information Food Science Food Business Management Food Science Nutrition Food Processing Minor Food Safety Minor Course Descriptions Career Opportunities Scholarship Information Have you ever wondered why. the ingredients of plain M Ms include a trace amount of peanuts or how they get that m on there Or why hamburgers should be eaten well done but steaks are perfectly safe rare Or why dough doesn t turn brown if you cook it in a microwave Or just how good oat bran is for you The majors offered by the Department of Food Science and Technology answer all these questions and more. Food Science and Technology is a multi-disciplinary field that applies fundamental scientific principles to the research development manufacture packaging storage and marketing of food products. It is a discipline in which biology chemistry engineering microbiology biochemistry toxicology management and other basic and applied sciences are used to study the nature of foods the causes of their deterioration and the principles underlying food processing. The comprehensive programs offered in the department allows for every aspect of the food industry to be studied students can choose to focus on either food science nutrition or food business management. Also offered are two new minors Food Safety and Food Processing. Food Science Our nationally approved curriculum produces graduates who are well prepared to work in the public or private sector. Many continue studies towards a master s or doctorate degree. They learn the chemistry microbiology structure engineering safety and nutrition of food as it is processed packaged distributed stored and used. Nutrition Majors learn nutrient use by humans and higher animals. Whereas food science is the study of what people do to food nutrition is concerned with what food .
