As it does every year, La Rotonde organizes the Schoolab program in Saint-Étienne, which supports projects by middle and high school classes in the Loire region throughout the school year, in close collaboration with the worlds of higher education, research, and innovation.
This year, Florence Nicolè, a researcher at LBVpam, hosted a class at LBVpam on the topic of culinary sciences. The goal: to understand where the smells and tastes of apples come from and what makes up the taste and smell of green apple, which are widely used in the food industry. To answer this question, workshops on tasting, smelling, and observing under a microscope were organized.
