Flavor University - Studies in Food Technology

We attended Flavor University on October 3 - 4, 2016. Flavor 101 was a professional introductory class designed to give all flavor enthusiasts a taste excursion into the food future. Impeccably presented and very thorough, we acquired baseline from which we could launch further research into the world of food technology after our projects, Enhanced Varieties and Sugar Geology. The class was designed and presented at FONA International, "where experts, teamwork and technology deliver a competitive advantage to you and your products. A place where honesty, transparency and confidentiality build trusting, long-term partnerships. A place where you are the focus of everything we do.

Flavor Research - Museum of Food and Drink, Brooklyn

In an effort to move into the universe of research about industrial artificial sensory pleasures, we visited MOFAD. The current exhibition, Flavor: Making It and Faking It, presents the history of our love affair with flavor enhancement and MSG. Developments in flavor technology were in large part promoted and accelerated by war and industrial food preservation.
