Confection Confessions: The History, Art and Science of Confectionery (Room Grand Ballroom B)

24 Oct 17
2:00 PM - 2:45 PM

Tracks: Ingredients, Formulations & Trends

This is particularly important today since much of the “art” doesn’t work once modern concerns, like sugar and fat reduction as well as labeling, become important.
