Details of The UF Flavor Summit
For the event, “UF is bringing together global leaders in industry and science to teach and learn the latest about what makes food and drink taste great,” according to the blog.
Yu Wang, a UF/IFAS associate professor of food science and human nutrition and CREC faculty member, said in the blog, “We will pass this new knowledge along to our stakeholders, who include food and beverage companies, growers and other scientists so we can give consumers the tastiest and most aromatic foods and drinks on the market…” The topics of presentations from industry experts and representatives from government and academic institutions include:
- flavor generation and flavor precursors,
- chemosensory perception and psychophysics,
- consumer preferences, and
- natural products as sources of novel flavor compounds
