Futuristic Device for Food

FOOD IN CANADA

Futuristic device could help food processors

A magnetic tongue could help food processors tweak foods to enhance flavour.

Denmark, Italy – Scientists in Denmark and Italy have created a device that they say can more objectively measure the flavours of food products.

The scientists from the University of Aarhus and University of Naples have developed a magnetic tongue that could replace human tasters and identify ingredients that people describe as sweet, bitter, sour, etc.

Complex process

The scientists say sensing odour and flavour is a complex process, reports ScienceDaily.com. The process depends on the combination of ingredients in the foods and on the taster’s emotional state.

Tasters have been trained on how to eliminate certain variations, but food processors may need more objective ways to measure their food products.
