Dr. Ross is an Assistant Professor in Food Science and the manager of the Sensory Evaluation Unit. She has a Bachelor of Human Ecology in Foods and Nutrition from the University of Manitoba, a M.S. in Food Science from the University of Guelph, and a Ph.D. in Food Science/Environmental Toxicology from Michigan State University. Her industry experience includes a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute, Director of Research at DeltaNu, Laramie, WY, a Post-Doctoral Fellow and Laboratory Manager of InFARel (Industrially Focused Analytical Research Laboratory) at the University of Waterloo, ON, and a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Institute in Atlanta, GA.
Dr. Ross's research combines sensory analysis with analytical chemistry techniques to identify and describe changes in flavor and odor profiles. In grapes and wine, her research group focuses on evaluation of aroma and flavor compounds and precursors, and the changes in these compounds due to viticultural and enological practices. Other research projects have included a study on the effectiveness of different palate cleansers, the effect of serving temperature on sensory perception in red and white wine and the examination of off-odors.
In food, Dr. Ross's research examines the relationship between sensory data and chemical data with regards to changes in flavor and odor profiles. Research interests consist of studying changes in sensory profiles of foods as a result of advanced processing techniques, and the interaction of flavors and aromas with packaging material. Research into food texture and mouthfeel is also being conducted in Dr. Ross's lab.Secondary content using h2 tag. Column 2
