          Electronic Tongue Uses AI to Detect Differences in Liquids

          Researchers have developed an AI-powered "electronic tongue" capable of distinguishing subtle differences in liquids, such as milk freshness, soda types, and coffee blends. By analyzing sensor data through a neural network, the device achieved over 95% accuracy in identifying liquid quality, authenticity, and potential safety issues. Interestingly, when the AI was allowed to select its own analysis parameters, it outperformed human-defined settings, showing how it holistically assessed subtle data.

          Beyond Processed Foods: New Insights into What Drives Our Food Choices

          A new study challenges prevailing assumptions about food preferences, particularly regarding ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Engaging 224 adults, the study analyzed responses to images of 52 familiar foods, assessing factors like energy density, processing level, and carbohydrate-to-fat ratio.

          Taste, Not Stomach, Regulates Eating Habits

          A new study challenges the traditional understanding of appetite control. The research reveals that our sense of taste, rather than signals from the stomach, plays a critical role in regulating how much we eat.

          First Direct Evidence That Babies React to Taste and Smell in the Womb

          Using ultrasound, researchers captured the facial expressions of developing fetuses in response to the taste of foods their mothers were eating. When exposed to carrots, the fetuses displayed "laughter-face" expressions, and "crying-face" expressions when exposed to kale. The findings shed new light on the development of human taste and olfactory receptors.
