Good introduction to Food Science

I bought this for a high-school student but read it myself first. The book claims to be college-level but I found it to be rather simplistic. I understand that this is an introduction to food science so it is properly represented. I was hoping for a bit more "science" and less history. Yes, Clarence Birdseye essentially created frozen vegetables but what is the science behind his innovations?
