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.

Moving beyond food-based fictions, how should we react to the truth?"   They have suggested many answers to this question at their website:
