A new electronic device sends a weak electric current directly into the food: a wave of the right shape
According to the authors, the main difficulty is to find the right waveform that affectsions, such as sodium chloride.on monosodium glutamate ions, which is responsible for enhancing the taste.
To test the effectiveness of their development, the authors conducted a test on volunteers.They were fed a gel with a specific salt content and asked to rate how salty it tasted to establish a benchmark.
The group was then given a gel with a 30% reduction in salt.The subjects very accurately felt that the amount of salt had decreased.
In the final part, the volunteers were given the samereduced salt gel, but eaten with electrified chopsticks. As a result, according to the sensations of the subjects, salinity increased by 50%.
According to the researchers, the current in the device is too weak to have any negative effect on the human body.
