Dr. Wendy Wismer  (b. ----, d. ----)

Prev  | Next )
POSITION(S) / JOB TITLE(S):
Assistant Professor
AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
Sensory and Consumer Science;developing fruit cultivars for export markets;taste perception and olfactory (smell) capabilities. The taste perception work focuses on both instrumental and human assessment of the flavour components of foods and beverages, while the olfactory work explores the effect of head trauma on odour detection and identification. She uses traditional taste panels to generate product profiles and measure consumer acceptance of foods and beverages based on their sensory properties, and applies multivariate statistical techniques to the data to generate consumer preference maps. Her research on consumer preference and satisfaction, based on many non-sensory attributes of food, is a valuable complement to the sensory science area. In addition to this area, Dr. Wismer is teaching and performing research in foodservice management. She currently liases with the hospitality industry and their service providers with the aim of creating a coordinated training program for foodservice managers. Patient satisfaction with foodservice in institutional healthcare is also being explored. In postharvest physiology, recent research has explored antioxidant systems in cold-stressed spinach and membrane stability in cold-stressed potato tubers.
