It's no secret that the tastiest foods are usually the most harmful. And dieters include foods that are low in fat, sugar and salt in their diets, which often make them tasteless. However, French scientists have figured out how to trick the brain into making the product feel attractive.
Dr. Thierry Thomas-Danguin and his colleagues at the Center des Sciences du Goût de l'Alimentation have invented a device that works with the sense of smell while eating, because it is the aromas that can influence the sensation of taste. It is no secret that the achievements of the chemical industry are widely used in food production. Flavors, flavor enhancers, and other additives make food more appealing, but they have no place in the diet.
“If you bought a low-salt product and it didn't taste good to you, what are you doing? Right, reach for the salt shaker. And the meaning of the dietary product is lost. Our goal is to make healthy foods that consumers will love,” says Dr. Thomas. Dungwin. The device he developed is attached directly to a person's nose. Volunteers who took part in his trial were asked to sniff the fruit juice. Further, molecules of the scent of the juice coming through this device joined the smell, which increased the sweetness of the juice in the minds of the volunteers. Experts hope that with the new device, they can help people cope with their diets and get the most out of them.
