Spoke 7 study on taste perception awarded

The Spoke 7 present at the VIII National Conference of the Italian Society of Sensory Sciences

The perception of tastes can vary depending on the temperature of the food: they are studying this at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, Luisa Torriand Chiara Chirilli, who at the VIII National Conference of the Italian Society of Sensory Sciences Alghero received the SISS Young Researchers award.

This work represents a preliminary mapping of Thermal Tasters and Thermal Non-Tasters to better understand the potential discriminating factors and to provide indications on the possible impact of Thermal Taster Status on taste perception and potentially on food preferences.

At the conference, the study themes of the Spoke 7 flagship projects were also represented by the studies of Luisa Torri and Nazarena Cela: not only Thermale Taster was talked about Status, but also of Digital labels to communicate the sustainability of wine: impact on the emotional and hedonic response of consumers
