Why Food Science and Flavor Chemistry at TWU?

Study in TWU's state-of-the-art food science laboratories

Get hands-on experience using unique equipment used in industry labs, including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-olfactometry equipment and a microfluidizer that is one of the few available in the United States with the Food Science and Flavor Chemistry program of Texas Woman's University.

Research opportunities

Flavor chemists study food and break down food compounds scientifically so their taste and aromas can be replicated in the lab, developing new flavors and reformulating old ones.

Over the past two years, TWU has been awarded more than $700,000 in research studies by national food and beverage companies, including Dr. Pepper Snapple. Our flavor chemistry students perform the research in support of these studies:

Evaluating the flavor associated compounds in strawberries in an attempt to identify attributes associated with U.S. taste preferences

Studying watermelon to identify the specific agents contributing to flavor

Examining mushroom for their flavor notes and role they may play in satiety and their potential role in weight control

Career Opportunities

Flavor chemists work in the government and private sectors. Companies that focus on pets, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverages hire flavor chemists to work in areas such as:

Production
