「味の見える化」で世界を結ぶ ユーザーに導かれ一緒に歩んだ味覚センサの 技術開発とビジネス活用

The taste sensor, based on an artificial lipid/polymer membrane, is the result of more than 30 years of collaborative research with University Professor Kiyoshi Toko of Kyushu University Institute for Advanced Study. Progress in taste sensors has been made thanks to the valuable feedback from professionals and researchers in the food and pharmaceutical industries who use taste sensors, and taste sensor data are now being used to develop new taste information businesses. The technological advances in taste evaluation and the growing demand for taste visualization are not only limited to food and pharmaceutical R&D, but are also being used as effective tools for a variety of businesses. In this report, we introduce the technological developments and business applications we have been working on with such taste sensor users in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the issues that are currently being addressed by taste sensors.
