Flavorists are often mistaken for food designers. Flavorist is a professional who develops new flavors using ingredients, such as individual flavor components (natural and synthetic), botanical extracts, and oils. Flavorists usually work in food and beverage companies. Meanwhile, a food designer is a food technologist who applies and optimizes the developed flavors in the final product. Food designers usually work as food technologists/scientists, chefs, or bakery specialists, and collaborate with sales, sensory and consumer insights, account managers, and flavorists.
