Events › Learn @ Your Library: What's in Your Food?

Food is essential to life. It’s also pretty complicated. When we look at labels stuck on cans or boxes we get an idea of what vitamins, minerals, sugars and fats are in our foods - but that’s only part of the picture. Dr. Wishart, Distinguished University of Alberta Professor, will take you on a journey to explore the chemistry of what makes food tasty, colourful, healthy and delicious.

Sun Feb 12
Introduction
This lecture discusses the reasons why we eat, what we are made of, what nutrients are and how our body processes them. Dr. Wishart will provide a background into food chemistry and how it relates to the taste, aroma, colour, healthiness and preparation of food. He’ll also talk about some of the most important chemicals in food.
