Flavorist
Flavorist describes a job in the food and flavor industry . A flavorist deals with the development of new flavors for food based on natural models. These flavors can be made up of natural and / or synthetic components.
The prerequisite is usually a degree in chemistry, biochemistry or food science . In principle, however, this is not necessary. Furthermore, precise knowledge of the human sense of smell and taste is necessary. In the German-speaking area there is no specialist training to become a flavorist. In Versailles , France, there is a two-year postgraduate course at the Institut supérieur international du parfum, de la cosmétique et de l'aromatique alimentaire .
The Society of Flavor Chemists in the USA and the British Society of Flavourists in Great Britain are organizations of flavorists .
