OverviewAI-generated summary

Scott Lafontaine's research focuses on the chemical drivers of aroma, taste, and mouthfeel in food and beverages, investigating how raw material quality and production methods influence these characteristics in products such as beer, wine, and sake. He is establishing a research group at the University of Arkansas to promote training and research initiatives in beverage development, aiming to foster both qualified professionals and novel products.

During a 2021 Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship at the Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei (VLB) in Berlin, Germany, Lafontaine explored methods to enhance flavor stability in beer. Prior to this, as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Davis, he worked on identifying factors affecting U.S. consumer preferences. His scholarly contributions include 43 publications and 573 citations, with an h-index of 15. Lafontaine collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Christian Schubert, Rahul Sen, Bernardo Pontes Guimarães, and Renee T. Threlfall, with whom he shares multiple publications.
