Current Biology, 2023
In his book on the ecology of perception (An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden, 2022), science writer Ed Yong emphasizes the simplicity of taste. He writes: "Taste, then, is the simpler sense. As we've seen, smell covers a practically infinite selection of molecules with an indescribably vast range of characteristics, which the nervous

Taste Display that Reproduces Tastes Measured by a Taste Sensor [PDF]
Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, 2020 Aiming for the creation and development of taste media, a taste display was developed in this study that can reproduce tastes measured using taste sensors. By performing iontophoresis on five gels, which contain dissolved electrolytes that reproduce the five basic tastes, the quantity of ions that contact the tongue was controlled.

British Dental Journal, 1993
When we eat or drink we perceive a sensation that is often described as taste. A better term for it would be flavour, because the experience is made up of different modalities of sensation. Amongst these modalities are those of smell, touch (texture), temperature, and, of course, the chemical sense of taste.

Cultural Sociology
Taste is central to the sociology of culture and a frequently invoked explanans in the discipline at large. Yet, it remains a semantically ambiguous polyseme that has been understood and operationalized in often divergent ways by sociologists. In this essay, we survey contemporary empirical research on cultural tastes and use retroductive reasoning ...

The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2014
The author integrates Zen Buddhist and psychoanalytic principles to introduce the notion of "spontaneously arising intuitive models." On the basis of the Zen teaching stories and patient dreams, this paper explores the meanings and psychic functions such intuitive models serve for patients. The notion of "the gap" constitutes a central organizing theme,

Taste Transductions in Taste Receptor Cells: Basic Tastes and Moreover
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014In the oral cavity, taste receptor cells dedicate to detecting chemical compounds in foodstuffs and transmitting their signals to gustatory nerve fibers. Heretofore, five taste qualities (sweet, umami, bitter, salty and sour) are generally accepted as basic tastes.

At least 12 distinct taste sensations can be elicited from different parts of the oral cavity by distinct chemical compounds. The chemicals eliciting each sensation are often common constituents of foods, thus the umami sensations arise with stimulation by monosodium glutamate and nucleotides. These sensations can often be related to different physical/

Tasting Food, Tasting Nostalgia
2018In this chapter, I use Cai Lan (aka Chua Lam), a Hong Kong–based food critic, as a case study to examine the construction of masculine identity through gastronomic literature. Cai integrates a cosmopolitan outlook and traditional literati sensibilities into his work, and he draws upon both world-based culinary knowledge and locally based individual ...
