Workshop Description – Fermented Dairy Products
The primary goal of the the workshop on fermented dairy products is to advance and enhance expertise of participants in aroma analysis and sensory evaluation of dairy products, with a particular focus on fresh dairy and fermented products such as yogurt, dairy milk alternatives (e.g., plant-based milks), ice creams, buttermilk, milk powder, cheese, and more. This one-day workshop will concentrate on emerging analytical methods and trends in flavour, taste, and sensory science. Participants will explore the latest advancements in flavour characterization, addressing challenges like off-flavours, identifying key aromas, and employing innovative sensory methodologies. Techniques such as olfactometry and sensory assesment, GC/MS, GC/O, and other cutting-edge tools in flavour and sensory research will be highlighted.
The workshop will also feature a sensory tasting experience, a roundtable discussion, and a technical session to foster a deeper understanding and practical application of these advancements.
