Cutlery can affect the sense of taste
The size, weight, shape and color of cutlery can affect how people perceive the taste of foods eaten with them – experts of the University of Oxford states.
Recent evidence has shown that changing the plateware can affect the perceived taste and
flavour of food, but very little is known about visual and proprioceptive infl uences of cutlery
on the response of consumers to the food sampled from it. In the present study, we report
three experiments designed to investigate whether food tastes different when the visual and
tactile properties of the plastic cutlery from which it is sampled are altered. We independently varied the weight, size, colour, and shape of cutlery. We assessed the impact of changing the
sensory properties of the cutlery on participants’ ratings of the sweetness, saltiness, perceived
value, and overall liking of the food tasted from it. (MTI, after Flavour)
