Such a robotic gustatory system has promising potential applications, Das said, ranging from AI-curated diets based on emotional intelligence for weight loss to personalized meal offerings in ...

At the center of the team's discovery is the function of an odorant-binding protein (OPB) in the gustatory system. These proteins are usually but not exclusively resident in the olfactory system.

In a person with taste and smell loss, something like wasabi-spiked soy sauce or fresh chilies doesn't properly integrate with the olfactory and gustatory system and only causes irritation.

Sure, the gustatory system plays a role, but only a small one—some researchers think it may even comprise less than half of the whole tasting experience.
