Welcome

The International Flavor Summit: A Gathering of Industry Perspectives is a biennial event for professionals, academia, students and anyone interested in the latest trends and discoveries in the world of flavor science.

Hosted by the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center and the UF Center for Taste and Smell, the three-day conference brings together leading researchers and practitioners working in flavor science across the food, beverage, and health sectors.

Topics include the latest trends and discoveries in flavor generation and flavor precursors, chemosensory perception and psychophysics, consumer preferences, and natural products as sources of novel flavor compounds. The program features internationally known decision makers and scientists from industry, government, and academic institutions.

In addition to learning sessions, there are exhibits and academic posters available throughout the three-day experience.  Participants will also have multiple opportunities to engage in informal conversations and exchanges during meals, a visit to a local 120-acre farm with multiple crops for u-pick and commercial harvest, and social activities.
