What is Candy Basics?
The one-week Candy Basics course is designed to instruct production, sales, and managerial personnel in candy technology. The course begins with the chemical and functional interactions of ingredients and progresses to lectures on all types of candies taught by industry experts. Participants will also gain hands-on laboratory experience with hard candy, gummies & jellies, panning, caramel, and chocolate.
Method of Instruction?
Lectures and experimental pilot plant exercises are presented and supervised by an outstanding group of technical experts from the confectionery industry and the University of Wisconsin Food Science Department. Classes and laboratory exercises are held in Babcock Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Who should attend?
Candy Basics is more condensed than our two-week Candy School and is intended primarily for non-technical personnel who wish to increase their knowledge of confectionery technology.
International students are welcome to attend! Since the course is taught entirely in English, it is recommended that all attendees have a strong command of the language in order to get the most out of the course.
