Hello there,

The basic eligibility criteria for becoming a food scientist is that the candidate must need a bachelor's degree in food science, microbiology or any science related field from a recognized institution. Specific food science related certification are generally not required for a food scientist, but they can help enhance your career once you start working.

Yes, you can too become a food scientist. You just need to research based on the food science related field too.

Any science related field is preferred where you study the fundamental principles involved in the food science.

Thank you.
