COURSE INSTRUCTOR
Gary A. Reineccius, PhD
Professor and Department Head
Department of Food Science and Nutrition
University of Minnesota
Gary Reineccius, Ph.D., is a Professor and Department Head in the
Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of
Minnesota. He is also the co-director of the new Flavor Research and
Education Center (flavor.umn.edu). Prior to becoming department head,
he was a faculty member of the department (39 years) focusing his
research efforts on flavor chemistry. During this time he published over
210 research articles. Dr. Reineccius has spent sabbatical leaves with
Fritzsche Dodge and Olcott (New York, flavor creation and production),
Nestle (Switzerland, reaction flavors) and Robertet S.A. (France, taste
modifiers and manufacturing)
Dr. Reineccius has taught courses in Food Processing, Food Chemistry,
Food Analysis, and Flavor Chemistry and Technology. He has written a
College textbook on food flavors with Henry Heath (the second edition
of this book became available in 2006). This was the first textbook in the
flavor area, which combined both flavor chemistry and technology. Dr.
Risch and he edited and were major contributors to two books on flavor
encapsulation. He is the sole author of the Source Book of Flavors and
coeditor of Heteroatomic Flavor Compounds in Foods.
Dr. Reineccius achievements have been recognized by several local and
international organiations. He is an honorary member of the Society
of Flavor Chemists. He has been granted the Palmer Award for his
contribution to chromatography by the Minnesota Chromatography
Forum. He has received the Distinguished Achievement and Service in
Agricultural and Food Chemistry Award and been honored by being
made a Fellow by the American Chemical Society. He has been presented
the Stephen S. Chang Award by the Institute of Food Technologists (first
flavor chemist to be so honored). These are the highest awards given to
individuals in the flavor area. In 2006 he was selected as the first recipient
of the FEMA (Flavor Extract Manufacturers Association) award. This award
is for life-long contributions to the field.
He often speaks at public schools and other groups. His favorite lay
topics are chocolate (he spent 3 years researching chocolate flavor for his
Ph.D. thesis) and the chemistry of gourmet cooking. From a professional
standpoint, his favorite topic is flavor encapsulation. He has been actively
engaged in research in this area since 1964.
