13 May 2019 --- An electronic tongue could be helpful to food industry taste testers because it can handle much more heat and is more effective and accurate in taste-testing fiery foods than sensitive human taste buds, according to researchers from Washington State University (WSU), US. The device could also be used to taste test Crimson Fire cheese that is made at the WSU Creamery, which collaborates with the dairy industry. By bringing more refined options to the taste buds, the e-tongue may significantly cut down testing time in general.
