Flavor plays many important roles in the health and wellness arena, which include making reduced-sugar, -salt, -fat, and -alcohol food and beverage products as well as increasing the palatability of nutrient fortified foods and masking off-flavors like bitter taste in plant-based protein products.
Apr 22, 2015 · By gaining a better understanding of the sensory and hedonic expectations elicited by food colour in different groups of individuals, researchers are coming to understand more about why it is that what we see modulates the multisensory perception of flavour, as well as our appetitive and avoidance-related food behaviours.

Jan 1, 2024 · Flavor and taste are important for savoring food, although cost is a major decision driver in consumer choice. Genetics, culture, and the environment affect our tastes, including liking or aversion to certain foods.

The consequences of malnutrition and critical unbalances in the diet with regard to fatty acids, sugar, salt, and fat are becoming more and more manifest in the Western world and are gradually also influencing the general health conditions for populations in developing countries. We are currently witnessing a rapid increase in non-communicable dise...
Marks on bones indicate that our ancestors, the early hominins, started to eat meat from land animals 2.6 million years ago . It has not been easy to chew and digest raw meat. It has recently been argued that the hominins used fire and heat to prepare food 1.9 million years ago which changed the game altogether [7, 77]. Homo is unique in eating a d...
Neural systems and the brain share a common trait among all organisms that have neural systems. The neural membranes contain large amounts of highly unsaturated fatty acids . Of the omega-6 variety, it is particularly arachidonic acid (20:4) and adrenic acid (22:4), and of the omega-3 variety, it is DHA (22:6) and EPA (22:5). More striking is that ...
The development of the human brain in modern humans, during the fetal stage and in the first years after birth, in fact up to age 18 although less aggressively, reflects the evolution of the human brain and the need for food supplies rich in DHA . Being our most fatty organ, the brain consists of more than 70 % fat, most of this being highly unsatu...
The human modalities of taste sensation are likely to have been shaped and conditioned during evolution [33, 51]. It is believed that the human preference for sweet direct us to food with carbohydrates and plenty of energy and calories; saltiness indicates foods with vital ions, such as sodium and potassium; sour suggests whether a fruit or vegetab...
I have in the present paper argued that our brain and the taste of our food are under siege. The reasons are claimed to be, respectively, a gross imbalance in the fatty acid composition of our food and a lack of attention to the food’s flavor and deliciousness that control appetite, satiety, and regulation of food intake. There is now a substantial...

Improving food quality and safety is of paramount importance for human well-being. Since prehistoric times, man has been improving the diet and the way of hunting, domesticating animals and vegetables, preserving food by physical methods, and finally by adding molecules to food to enhance flavors or to preserve it. 1
