While people might use the words “taste” and “flavor” interchangeably, there are several key differences between ythe two. Specialized receptors on the tongue underlie the five sensations that makeup taste: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami. Flavors refer more to the experience of consuming food, which not only includes taste but also aroma. Understanding the differences between taste and flavor enables more exciting and innovative food experiences for consumers.

Did you know that surface tension can impact how we experience flavors in our food and drinks? When we consume something, the molecules interact with the saliva in our mouth and surface tension affects how these molecules spread and interact with our taste buds. This means that liquids with higher surface tension might form droplets that adhere differently to the tongue's surface, ultimately impacting how we perceive flavor. Additionally, surface tension can affect how effectively flavors are released from foods and beverages, further impacting our perception of taste. So, while taste buds play a crucial role in detecting flavors, surface tension also plays a significant role in how we experience them. #flavorperception #sciencetalks #foodscience
