Flavor Chemistry and Analysis

Provides graduate students with the tools and understanding necessary for the study of complex food flavor systems. Students will learn: 1) modern techniques of analysis used in the chemical evaluation of food flavor systems, 2) accepted techniques for the sensory evaluation of food flavor, 3) approaches for combined sensory-analytical evaluation of food flavor and 4) principles of food flavor chemistry with emphasis placed on some well-understood flavor systems. Prerequisite: FSHN 414 and FSHN 418 or equivalent.
