Flavoromics: An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment
About this ebook
Flavoromics: An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment describes the tools to do high-throughput, trace analyses that represent both taste and olfaction stimuli. It explains how today's single sample research will generate thousands of data points, which are loaded into sophisticated statistical analysis algorithms to establish what stimuli are responsible for flavor. This cutting-edge equipment will enable us to create flavorings and perfumes that are more realistic and superior.
Key Features:
- Includes a detailed section on data handling/mining
- Section 4 describes a broad overview of different food matrices
- Points out the integration of flavoromics with advanced separation methods, data management, statistical modeling, and variable selection
This book represents a revolutionary tool waiting to help make better, truer to life flavorings and fragrances.
