Ali F. Özseven, a graduate of Yeditepe University's Gastronomy and Culinary Arts program, has over 15 years of experience working in various sectors of the food industry. In 2015, he began exploring distillation, brewing, and fermentation as a way to pursue his own tastes and vision from a unique perspective. Combining theory with hands-on experimentation, he has been dedicated to this field for nearly 8 years. Ali, passionate about research and development, constantly seeks technical answers to the question, "How can this be done differently?" His desire to share insights on how products are processed inspired him to start writing as a means of guidance. The first volume of this series focuses on essential products like extracts and essences, commonly used in the food and beverage industry and appealing to a broad audience.
