When someone says that he or she is a laboratory scientist, what immediately comes to your mind? You probably think of a white lab coat, sterile surroundings, a microscope, and test tubes. But that is not the case of Matthew Duval. For the last three years, he’s been working as a food scientist for the makers of Tasty’s ice cream, and he has created several new flavors.
He constantly searching for new combinations of flavors to keep the products fresh and interesting for the company’s customers. In his lab, he experiments with different products and flavors until he gets them just right. And, of course, he always gets to taste the results. One part of Matthew’s job involves market research. He’s good at presenting his new products to customers and getting their input.
