Unit 4
Flavour creation and evaluation
Flavour Pathway
Although notions of taste seem highly subjective, the industry has developed universally understood standards and descriptors to apply to new creations.
In this module, you’ll be exploring flavour - how we detect it, its link with smell, and how we describe tastes. You’ll be given an introduction to flavour creation in the industry from start to finish, and how to work to a flavour brief.
