The Science Behind e-Taste
The e-Taste device operates with two main components: an electronic tongue that captures the taste data of food and drinks, and a delivery system that mimics these tastes in your mouth. It processes five primary taste sensations using edible chemicals: sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami.
Potential Applications And Current Limitations
Applications for the e-Taste are vast, from virtual food adventures to aiding sensory testing and physical rehabilitation. However, the need for further development means some taste sensations still elude the device’s capabilities.
