株式会社インテリジェントセンサーテクノロジー List of Products and Services

The taste recognition device TS-6000A can detect taste differences that were previously undetectable by conventional chemical analysis. A taste sensor with broad selectivity assesses the taste and can capture up to 11 types of taste items. With its unique "aftertaste" measurement, it is also possible to express "richness" and "sharpness," which could not be measured before. *Please feel free to contact us. *An English version of the catalog is also available. Please make use of it.

A taste sensor (taste recognition device) is a machine that can measure taste using sensors that mimic the human tongue. In food manufacturing, panels actually taste the food with their tongues, and individual differences among panelists, as well as their physical condition and mood, can affect the objectivity and reproducibility of sensory data. Additionally, sensory testing itself is a demanding task that can lead to significant fatigue, and there are challenges in training panelists. Therefore, there has been a desire to develop taste recognition devices that can detect the taste perceived by humans to support the panels in the development of new food products and quality control on production lines. While sensors for light, sound, and other stimuli have advanced significantly, what are the reasons for the delay in the development of taste sensors? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

About 15 years ago, we introduced taste sensors, and now we are fully utilizing three taste sensors.

• Other analytical equipment

We conducted interviews with companies that have fully utilized the taste sensors introduced in December 2012 for about 10 years.

• Other analytical equipment

We are discussing points where taste sensors are utilized to "align the taste scale with our customers."

• Other analytical equipment

We asked companies that have been utilizing taste sensors for nearly 10 years about the reasons for introducing taste sensors and how they are used in the development of prepared foods after implementation.

• Other analytical equipment

We spoke with the companies that introduced the taste sensors in January 2022 about the background of their implementation and how they are being utilized.

We measured ready-to-eat curry using a taste sensor. In recent years, the demand for ready-to-eat curry has increased among single-person households and dual-income families due to its cost performance (value for the price) and time efficiency (convenience and time-saving). Additionally, this demand has polarized into two categories: premium types that focus on quality ingredients and those supervised by renowned restaurants, and low-priced, everyday products that cater to consumers' desire to save due to rising prices. This time, we measured the taste trends of a medium-spicy beef curry from a manufacturer’s brand (NB) that can be purchased at supermarkets using a taste sensor. From a three-dimensional bubble graph that added product price as the size of the bubbles to the results of the taste sensor evaluating the original flavors and complexity of ingredients, represented as "bitterness and off-flavors (richness)," and the evaluation of saltiness and richness, we observed interesting results. Products with mild bitterness and off-flavors, as well as saltiness, were easy to eat and low-cost, making them popular standard items. In contrast, products with strong bitterness, off-flavors, and saltiness were distinguished as high-priced and authentic-tasting products.
