Dear Friends, Colleagues and Vanilla lovers,
The “Vanilla Science and Technology” course will be offered this summer, August 2nd-6th, 2004. Following the course there will be a trip to the growing area in Vera Cruz, Mexico (the origin of Vanilla), August 7-11, 2004, which will be optional . The Mexican group, including students, is eager and excited to be hosts and to meet us.
Lectures will be in the morning and labs (in small groups) in the afternoon, followed by evening sessions (after dinner). Speakers are chosen from the industry, university and government. They are experts in their fields and have years of experience in the area of teaching. Details below. The course is divided into 5 individual days to give students the option and opportunity to register for as little as one day to the complete program of five days.
Space is limited. Enrollment is first come, first served. This is an intensive course on subject matters central to the vanilla industry. This is also an opportunity to bring up specific issues that may be discussed privately with the instructors.
This course is intended for people with some technical background. Sales and marketing people, and non-technical people are welcome to attend. We will make an effort to accommodate each individual. The course provides a wide variety of aspects on vanilla that everyone in the field can benefit from. This course provides hands-on experience in topics central to the Vanilla industry.
We believe that there is a desire to gain insights and expertise in the area of Vanilla Science and Technology. We will make use of industrial experience and new scientific information to meet this objective.

Time will be divided between classes and hands on experience in the lab on vanilla curing and extractions, analysis of vanilla flavor constituents and quality control, molecular biology, micro propagation, and germinating seeds. Students will have access to our greenhouse to learn how to propagate and grow vanilla in a modern plantation. Experts from the flavor industry will conduct application labs of vanilla flavor to different foods. Vanilla Science and Technology attendees will have a unique opportunity to spend a week on a university campus. There will be access to the library and other information sources. They will also have a chance to meet faculty members and view their laboratories. Some of the attendees will be Rutgers graduate students, and this might also be an opportunity to discuss certain technical issues.
