The cocoa flavour kit

This content was published on

I cover topics related to the Swiss Abroad and Swiss specialities, also producing a daily briefing for the Swiss Abroad community. I studied communication sciences, then worked as a reporter and video journalist for private radio and television. I have worked for SWI swissinfo.ch in various roles since 2002.

My work is focused on making videos and podcasts about science and technology topics. I specialize in developing explainatory video formats for mobile viewing, mixing animation and documentary styles. I studied filmmaking and animation at Zurich University of the Arts and began working as a video journalist at SWI swissinfo.ch in 2004. Since then I have specialised in creating different styles of animation for our visual products.

Food researchers Irene Chetschik and Karin Chatelain at the ZHAW have identified the chemical compounds in cocoa that produce the taste of chocolate.

From this they have developed an aroma kit that can help professionals train their sensory skills.
