FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Flavor – distinctive quality that comes from a food’s unique blend of appearance, taste, odor, feel, and sound.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory attributes, such as appearance, odor, flavor, taste, and texture of foods detectable by human senses, are often used to evaluate food quality. These characteristics may also serve as references during the selection of foods (Lyon and Lyon, 2001).

Detailed explanation-3: -Flavor is what people commonly call the “taste” of food. It is actually a combination of smell, taste, spiciness, temperature and texture. Much of the flavor of food comes from smell, so that when you are unable to smell you have lost much of your ability to experience flavor.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sense of taste is a chemical sense due to taste stimuli falling on taste receptors located on the tongue called taste buds. It is generally accepted that humans can distinguish among five to six basic taste qualities – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami and fatty.
