Food industry supports people's well-being, which is an important part of the national economy. Since 2000, food industry has grown sharply in our country due to the development of food technology and achievements in scientific research. In this work, we reviewed recent findings of food science, including food flavor, dairy science, meat science, grain processing, fruit and vegetable storage, functional carbohydrate, protein science, food enzyme, natural edible pigment and flavor chemistry. Future trends were also discussed, which may be helpful for food scientists' research.
