 • I work in the supply chain of raw ingredients to manufacturing parties
 . This course broadened my knowledge on fragrances ….\n 	• This course
  will help me communicate more efficiently with customers \n 	• This c
 ourse gave me more confidence in supplying and understanding the market 
 \n 	• I loved the practicals....\n 	• The SAAFFI-Wits Flavour and Frag
 rance Course broadened my understanding of the industry…learned a lot ab
 out the extraction of certain raw materials for the fragrance industry.\n 
 	• This course has been so enlightening in terms of just how important 
 flavour and fragrances are in our every day lives - the food we eat or per
 fume we wear\, our home cleaning materials\, medication\, hotel and shoppi
 ng mall experiences and even in our memories of child hood experiences.\n 
 	• My knowledge of the different spices\, extracts\, oleoresins\, volati
 le compounds and fragrance notes has grown widely\, as well as the differe
 nces between natural and synthetic fragrances and flavours\, the different
  processes in the creation and development of flavours and fragrances.\n 
 	• The projects have really helped me to think critically and logically 
 about how to apply the work we have learnt to real world scenarios.\n 	•
  I now have a much greater understanding of the important role of chemistr
 y in the research\, creation and application of flavours and fragrances. 
 \n 	• I was captivated by the art involved in the creation of a fragranc
 e or flavouring\, and the deep knowledge that is required to create someth
 ing beautiful\, but also stable\, efficient and safe. I even bought a smal
 l still designed for essential oil extraction\, and we are planning to mak
 e some essential oils from different fruits and flowers that we have in a 
 family plantation.\n 	• The course allowed me to understand my current w
 orking environment a lot better in terms of the processes that ensure our 
 industry’s success.\n 	• As this course was online it also allows you 
 to study at your own pace. It is challenging when you have a full-time job
 .\n 	• The information presented was clear and simple to understand.\n 	
 • The flavour and fragrance industry is very intriguing\, riveting\, cap
 tivating and fascinating\, and full of creativity and adventure. The abili
 ty for flavours and fragrances to change or influence people’s behaviour
  through the power of taste and scent is very profound.\n 	• The SAAFFI-
 Wits Flavour and Fragrance Course has re-ignited my passion for this field
  of science and technology and has been a fantabulous refresher course for
  me on the raw materials\, processes\, products\, and creativity within th
 is industry. Furthermore\, this course has provided great insight into adv
 ancement in science and technology related to the industry (i.e.\, biotech
 nology and instrumentation advancements\, regulatory safety\, and complian
 ce advancements).\n 	• I would like to thank the SAAFFI and Wits managem
 ent team for making this course accessible to not only budding students bu
 t industry professionals. \n 	• This has been the greatest and most ins
 ightful course in my career thus far! I now look at my work from a totally
  different perspective\n\n\n\n\nThis course generously sponsored by Shima
