Scientists have developed an "electronic tongue" that can accurately taste the spicy taste of a variety of foods.

According to foreign media reports, tasteers of spicy

may only try a few samples at a time - after which their taste buds become less sensitive and need rest. However, scientists have developed a new "electronic tongue" that can accurately taste the spicy taste of a variety of foods for hours at a time.
"electronic tongue" developed by scientists at Washington State University was recently tested on cheese samples containing different levels of capsaicin. When compared to volunteers who tasted the same sample, it was found that the device correctly detected capsaicin levels long after the human taste buds simply "abandoned".
addition, scientists claim that the "electronic tongue" not only provides more objective measurements than human taste testers, but also better detects subtle and spicy differences in light and heavily flavored foods. In other words, the device's creators believe that people can still evaluate the taste of spicy food. The goal of new technologies is more to streamline processes.
researcher Courtney Schlossareck said: "If you start with 20 different formulations, the testers can narrow the selection to two or three human tasting groups. It takes a few days for people to taste them. A
on "electronic tongues" was recently published in the Journal of Food Science. Previously, scientists developed electronic tongues designed to taste honey, beer, fruit and wine.
