- Biographical / historical:
-
Pioneering sensory scientist Rose Marie Pangborn (1932-1990) was a Professor of Food Science and Technology at UC Davis. Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1932, Professor Pangborn earned the B.S. degree at New Mexico State University and the M.S. degree at Iowa State University. She joined the Department of Food Technology at the University of California, Davis in 1955. From 1972‐1974, Professor Pangborn was Associate Dean in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
In addition to her strong research program, Professor Pangborn was internationally known for her outstanding teaching. She received distinguished teaching awards from the University of California, Davis and from the Institute of Food Technologists (the William V. Cruess Award).
Professor Pangborn published over 180 scientific articles, including 12 in 1989, and co-authored three textbooks. One textbook, Principles of Sensory Evaluation (Amerine, Pangborn and Roessler), published in 1965, served as the "bible" for sensory course work and research for over 20 years. She was executive co-editor of the international journal Appetite and served on the editorial boards of seven other scientific journals. She was a member of eight scientific societies, and was co-founder in 1978 of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences.
In addition to many other professional awards and honors, Professor Pangborn was honored in 1989 with a "Pioneer" award from the American Society for Testing and Materials to acknowledge her key role in the development of sensory evaluation from a home economics practice to a rigorous scientific discipline.
