The world of flavours is relatively small, so there are just few iconic personalities. One of them is undoubtedly Andy Taylor. After 32 successful years at the University of Nottingham, where he pioneered the study of flavour release from food, he changed career direction in 2010 to found a spin-out company, Flavometrix. He then joined Mars Petcare where he worked for 6 years. Andy currently works with a number of companies to help develop flavour research strategies and to mentor younger researchers in planning and managing their research projects. His association with the University of Nottingham continues through his role as Emeritus Professor, where he works on an ad hoc basis to support and develop younger researchers and is one of the key people organising the key flavour research event: Weurman Symposium.

Listen to a new episode of Flavour Talks, this time with Sam Bompas, founder of Bompas & Parr, globally recognised as the leading expert in multi-sensory experience design.
Bompas & Parr was founded in June 2007 creating food art using gelatine desserts. Their work has been noted for its detail and the company has competed in culinary artwork competitions. Their projects explore how the taste of food is altered through synaesthesia, performance and setting. Current focus of their projects is gelatine-based because they feel it is a perfect medium for an examination of food and architecture due to its plastic form and the historic role it has played in exploring notions of taste.

Join us on a journey through the life and work of Professor Don Mottram, the eminent English flavour chemist from the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading. He began his career in colour chemistry and was one of the pioneers of chromatography. He then moved into flavour research and was one of the first to carry out fundamental research into meat flavour. Working with Professor Bronek Wedzicha at the University of Leeds, Mottram made a major breakthrough in understanding the origin of acrylamide in fried and cooked foods.
He retired as Head of the Flavour Chemistry Research Group in October 2010, but continues to work with the group on a number of projects, most notably the Flavourist Training Course in conjunction with the BSF.
