Flavorist

As a Flavorist (Taste Modulation), you will work at the interface between science and application in global cooperation on pioneering solutions for modern food and beverage products. Based on your creative, sensory and chemical expertise and the ability to translate these into practical solutions, you will realize new product ideas and develop tailor-made, successful flavor compositions and taste solutions. In doing so, you use knowledge about desirable and undesirable product characteristics and work specifically on their optimization. A special focus lies in the exciting and dynamic field of combining non-volatile flavour-modulating ingredients (flavours with modifying properties, FMP) with classic volatile flavours.
