Doris Calloway, née Howes (February 14, 1923 - August 31, 2001) was an American nutritionist noted for her studies of human metabolism, role in public health, and food preservation and safety.

She worked with the US Army to research the potential of foods to protect against dangerous radiation.

She also researched food irradiation and discovered that its effects on nutrient content were similar to heat processing.

In 1961 she took a position at the Stanford Research Institute.

At Stanford, she created a freeze-dried orange juice product that eventually became Tang.

Her research was used to set the Recommended Daily Intake values for nutrients and helped NASA determine dietary needs in space.

Among the topics covered are: Micronutrients, Appetite, Satiety, Food Acceptance, Intestinal Microflora, Germfree, Regenerative Systems.
