Background
With origins rooted in the University of California Berkeley's Division of Viticulture and Enology, the Department of Food
Science was initially established in 1919 as a division of fruit products after the Volstead Act prohibited commercial
wine-making. While studies in viticulture continued at Davis, the fruit products unit at Berkeley turned its focus toward
processing fruit juices and identifying optimal techniques for canning, drying, and otherwise utilizing fruits for
consumption. In 1951, the renamed Division of Food Technology moved from Berkeley to Davis.
