Taste, along with the sense of smell and trigeminal nerve stimulation (registering texture, pain, and temperature), determines flavors of food and other substances.
Why do certain food textures make us gag? An investigation into the scientific reasons why slimy, gooey foods, seafood and Jell-O, make some of us gag.
Object A is a taste bud, object B is a taste receptor cell within object A, and object C is the neuron attached to object B. I. Part I is the reception of hydrogen ions or sodium ions. 1.

Researchers altered factors like the weight, size, color and shape of the cutlery and found that each of these properties influenced the participant's perception of the food's taste, density or ...
At room temperature, the oils in natural peanut butter remain liquid, causing a phase separation. Within the stabilized peanut butter, the microstructural features are able to remain well-dispersed in a matrix of stabilized oil due to crystallization, while in the unstabilized peanut butter, the features are not able to retain the same uniformity.
