Flavours: Innovation, Applications and Trends
Postgraduate course. Face-to-face
Everything around us has some characteristics allowing us to perceive a product and differentiate it from another; one of these features is their smell, another is their taste. We are constantly subjected to several olfactory or taste stimuli which cause different reactions in us, whether it be food (aromas) or other products (fragrances), natural or not, which have been created by specialists. This is the precise point we have set as our objective, to create specialists who create aromas and fragrances.
Evolution towards a new type of cuisine has revolutionized our eating habits and the way these relate to sensorial perceptions has yielded the best specialists in this field. Creating aromas to be added to foods makes it possible to relate aromas or flavours to the product it is added to. This requires having knowledge about the raw materials that can be used to prepare a certain composition. On the one hand, it is convenient to know the nature of these products, their chemical and organoleptic properties, about extracting natural products, the possibilities to analyse them and add them to a finished product, as well as the process of placing them on the market while observing the established legislation.
The aim of this postgraduate course in Aromas: Innovation, Applications and New Trends is to fill in the training gap which exists in this field in Spain. Until now, it was the companies who took charge of training their staff and very often the knowledge came from specialists who may even be from other countries. The priority of this programme is to train specialists who are able to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired in a large variety of industries, such as the food industry, oenology, pharmaceutics or the herbal industry.
