The Culinary and Food Science (CFS) bachelor’s degree program is hosting a team from ADM/WILD Flavors on Friday, Dec. 3, from 11 a.m. to 1:50 p.m., to discuss and practice how to properly articulate the experiences of eating and drinking.

Interested members of the College community are invited to attend this seminar on “Sensory Science & How to Taste, Describe and Give Guidance,” which is part of the course CFS 340, Colloquium on Current Food Topics.

The in-person, interactive event will include tasting samples, learning about the language that provides the starting points for “flavor wheels” for different food categories, and understanding how food industry professionals apply the language of sensory science to gain insights from consumers.

Time permitting, the ADM team might conduct a mock consumer test by phone.

Anyone interested in attending the Dec. 3 seminar should reach out by Monday, Nov. 29, to CFS Program Chair Grace Yek (grace.yek@cincinnatistate.edu).
The class meets in the Food Science lab (ATLC 014) but may relocate to the Culinary Demonstration Kitchen (ATCL 043) if there’s a large group.
