“Tom was an internationally recognized expert in thermally generated flavors. Patents he was granted include those on coffee, popcorn, and cooked meats and seafood. Tom was very active in the American Chemical Society Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and was a long-standing member of its flavor subdivision. He endowed the Thomas H. Parliment Award for Advances in Flavor Chemistry to be awarded every 2 years by ACS. Tom was also an avid hiker and was endlessly curious. He once analyzed the fruits of a female ginkgo tree after noticing they smelled awful and published the results.”—Cathy Culver and Bob McGorrin, former colleagues
