Flavour Talk with Jane Parker

Listen to a new episode of Flavour Talks, this time with Jane Parker, associate professor at the University of Reading and manager of its Flavour Centre. Our hosts, Trevor and Aidan, discuss Jane's career path from obtaining a PhD in physical organic chemistry and working as a process development chemist for a bulk chemical manufacturer to moving into the flavour and fragrance industry, followed by accepting a research role at the University of Reading, where she is  working on industry-related flavour chemistry projects. Her main research focuses on the generation of flavour during the thermal processing of food, mathematical modeling of flavour formation pathways, and the interaction of aroma compounds with the food matrix.
