Dr. Selina Wang of the UC Davis Olive Center will present her research into olive oil quality standards. Since its establishment in 2008 by the Robert Mondavi Institute, the UC Davis Olive Center has emerged as an international leader in olive research and education. In 2010 and 2011, the Olive Center exposed the poor quality of olive oil available to U.S. consumers, with a research project showing 65 percent of imported olive oil failed extra virgin standards. Media attention and consumer reaction spurred stronger government quality standards and investigation. Dr. Wang will talk about innovation at the Center and olive oil quality. Guests will taste olive oils and learn about their natural flavor attributes. Dr. Wang has a PhD in organic chemistry from UC Davis.
