9:25 a.m. Fermentation for Flavor and Functionality
發(fā)酵風味符合人們對天然、純凈、傳統(tǒng)及全球風味的追求，同時提供功能性和可持續(xù)性的益處。發(fā)酵作為一種古老的做法，涉及有益微生物將原材料轉(zhuǎn)化為風味獨特的美味——從苦澀的可可豆到香甜的巧克力，從大麥到啤酒，從面粉到面包，不一而足。
Advancements in bacterial and yeast genome sequencing, coupled with computational tools, enable a deeper understanding of metabolic pathways leading to flavor molecules. This knowledge facilitates tweaking for efficient exploitation and process optimization. The new-age application of omic tools to the age-old practice of fermentation gave birth to precision fermentation. Earlier we needed grapefruit to produce the characteristic nootkatone compound. Today we have engineered yeasts fed on glucose and nutrients that can produce nootkatone in high titers in a tank. Another glaring example of using fermentation is in vanillin production. A meager percent comes from vanilla harvested from orchids, while the majority is chemically synthesized. Precision fermentation has been used to sustainably meet the surging demand by using cellular beings and turning them into cellular factories. Flavor companies worldwide are at the cusp of embracing novel machine-learning approaches to create formulations at a faster pace.?Sensient, a pioneer in innovative technologies, stands out for its unique involvement in fermentation.?
隨著細菌和酵母基因組測序技術(shù)的進步，結(jié)合計算工具，我們得以更深入地理解導致風味分子產(chǎn)生的代謝途徑。這些知識促進了微調(diào)工作，以實現(xiàn)高效利用和工藝優(yōu)化。將組學工具這一新時代技術(shù)應用于古老的發(fā)酵實踐，催生了精準發(fā)酵。以前，我們需要葡萄柚來生產(chǎn)具有特征性的諾卡酮化合物。如今，我們已培育出以葡萄糖和營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)為食的酵母，能夠在發(fā)酵罐中以高滴度生產(chǎn)諾卡酮。另一個利用發(fā)酵的顯著例子是香蘭素的生產(chǎn)。僅有極少部分香蘭素來自從蘭花中收獲的香草，而大部分則是通過化學合成得到的。精準發(fā)酵通過利用細胞生物并將其轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榧毎S，可持續(xù)地滿足了日益增長的需求。全球的風味公司正站在采用新穎機器學習方法的前沿，以更快的速度創(chuàng)造配方。Sensient Technologies公司以其在發(fā)酵領(lǐng)域的獨特參與而脫穎而出，作為創(chuàng)新技術(shù)的先驅(qū)。

9:55 a.m. How NotCo Utilizes AI for Flavor Formulations
NotCo被描述為一群擁有共同目標的人們：重新發(fā)明食品行業(yè)——一次一口美味。NotCo利用其專有的AI系統(tǒng)“Giuseppe”來用植物復制動物產(chǎn)品。
How it works according to NotCo:
根據(jù)NotCo的介紹，其工作原理如下：
"It all starts when we ask our algorithm, Giuseppe, to match the taste, texture, and smell of an animal-based product. It analyzes the structure at the molecular level and then replicates it using only plant-based goodness."
“一切始于我們要求我們的算法Giuseppe匹配基于動物產(chǎn)品的味道、質(zhì)地和氣味。它在分子層面上分析結(jié)構(gòu)，然后僅使用植物基成分進行復制?！?/p>
NotCo's senior Flavor Scientist, Cindy Sigler, Ph.D., alongside Machine Learning Team Leader, Francisco Clavero, are set to take the stage to discuss the company's artificial intelligence platform and how it translates to plant-based formulations.
NotCo的高級風味科學家Cindy Sigler博士和機器學習團隊負責人Francisco Clavero將登臺，討論該公司的AI平臺以及它如何轉(zhuǎn)化為植物基配方。
They will introduce GAT (Generative Aroma Transformer), NotCo’s cutting-edge Foundational Model for fragrance that can generate complete fragrance formulations from natural language descriptions. They will also discuss the impact of these technologies in the flavor and fragrance space.
他們將介紹GAT（Generative Aroma Transformer），這是NotCo在香氣領(lǐng)域的尖端基礎(chǔ)模型，可以根據(jù)自然語言描述生成完整的香氣配方。他們還將討論這些技術(shù)在風味和香氣領(lǐng)域的影響。

3:00 p.m. The Flavorist's Take on Artificial Intelligence Panel
3:45 p.m. Navigating the World of Smell and Taste Dysfunctions
"Some of my favorite things now taste awful: chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, boiled eggs, anything grilled/toasted... strawberries and cherry tomatoes taste weird."
“我現(xiàn)在喜歡的一些東西嘗起來都很糟糕：巧克力、咖啡、花生醬、煮雞蛋、任何燒烤/烤制的食物……草莓和櫻桃番茄的味道也變得很奇怪?！?/span>
"I never thought toothpaste could taste rotten, but here we are."?
“我從沒想過牙膏會嘗起來像腐爛的味道，但現(xiàn)實就是這樣?！?/p>
These poignant statements reflect the experiences of some of the 27 million people still grappling with smell or taste loss after COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, 1 in 5 people 40+ in the U.S. reported some taste alteration. This enlightening session will delve into the terminology, meanings, and profound impacts of these all-too-common sensory challenges.?
這些深刻的表述反映了COVID-19后仍在與嗅覺或味覺喪失作斗爭的2700萬人的經(jīng)歷。即使在疫情之前，美國40歲以上的人群中就有五分之一報告有不同程度的味覺改變。本次富有啟發(fā)性的會議將深入探討這些常見感官障礙的術(shù)語、含義及其深遠影響。
Attendees will hear a comprehensive overview of the most prevalent taste and smell dysfunctions and their myriad causes, from Alzheimer’s to cancer treatments, genetics to zinc deficiency. This session will also look at research on what triggers these distortions. Powerful narratives and anecdotes will illuminate everyday struggles from navigating "safe foods" to developing innovative coping strategies.?
與會者將聽到對最常見嗅覺和味覺障礙及其多種原因的全面概述，包括從阿爾茨海默病到癌癥治療、從遺傳到鋅缺乏癥等各種因素。本次會議還將探討觸發(fā)這些感官扭曲的研究。通過有力的敘述和軼事，將揭示從尋找“安全食物”到開發(fā)創(chuàng)新應對策略的日常挑戰(zhàn)。
Attendees will gain a nuanced understanding of the personal toll of these challenges, as well as their impact on industries including food and beverage, hospitality, consumer goods and healthcare.The speaker will also share how the flavor industry might overcome this hurdle and how to approach a remedy from "safe" food products.
與會者將對這些挑戰(zhàn)對個人造成的負擔有更深入的理解，以及它們對食品飲料、酒店業(yè)、消費品和醫(yī)療保健等行業(yè)的影響。演講者還將分享風味行業(yè)如何克服這一障礙，以及如何從“安全”食品產(chǎn)品的角度尋找解決方案。
