WORK HISTORY
Managing Director @Flavometrix Limited
Flavometrix was formed to apply the knowledge gained from fundamental research in the University of Nottingham to solve a variety of flavour issues in the food and beverage industries. Although it offered laboratory research facilites from 2002 to 2014, that service is no longer available, although Nichirei Corporation in Tokyo, Japan offer similar services based on the Flavometrix equipment and principles. Consultancy is still available in several areas. From my previous experience, the measurement of aroma and taste release from foods during eating is a way to help food manufacturers understand how their flavours perform in real products and to identify areas where performance can be improved. Examples of previous projects are determining the performance of new sweeteners, the stability of flavours in products or the formulation of new flavours for re-formualted foods (e.g. low fat versions of key brands). A newer offering is the use of visualisation software to connect chemical, sensory, physicochemical and process data to understand the chemistry that occurs during food manufacture, from raw material through process to the properties of the finished product. If you need advice on a flavour- related issue then contact Flavometrix for a free initial consultation.
