Who Should Attend
This is course is designed for all members of the food industry that use or purchase flavors, or are interested in how they are made, including those that are in R&D, purchasing, production, management and marketing.

Description
This 90-minute accredited training is an in-depth analysis of the nature of flavors. Flavors are viewed by many as one of the most, if not the most, important aspect of a successful food product. When using flavors it is important to understand how they are made and how they are regulated so decisions that can affect a product's outcome can be made with intelligence and confidence. Issues that are crucial in today's market will be reviewed, including Natural, GMO, Organic, Allergens, Terrorism and NLEA labeling as they revolve around flavors and the end product are also discussed. Sensory evaluation techniques are reviewed as well as flavor stability, emulsion technology, fats and citrus oil stabilization techniques. Overall this is a truly in-depth hour and a half on flavor technology and necessary aspects to insure quality control for flavors throughout the process.
