Gustorics
〈Summary〉
　Gustorics is a study of taste communication. This includes four aspects. Those are the role of culture on taste, the role of food deprivation, food preferences, taste expectations, and color and textures as an encourager or discourager of eating and drinking.
Firstly we have four typical tastes. Those are salty, sweet, sober and bitter. We commonly believe it makes to decide flavor by our tongues. However, a throat and a mouth can be feel savor.
　The sense of smell is very important to judge a taste. We cannot make sense of taste without them. There are two causes not to work the olfactory sense.
One is an innate defect. Other is an acquired one. It does not work when you get sick or you are pregnant. In contrast to the poor sense of smell, some have a great one. Unfortunately they are too sensitive when they eat a spicy food and may have food allergy.
　Taste adaption is one of phenomenon which is related to the taste. This is ability to judge the substance degree in mouth. Some like very spicy food such as a red hot ramen. Their gustation does not work.

　I recognize that the smell is important when we judge taste.
I did an experiment to know whether I can feel taste without working nose or not. There are two ways. One is to eat a slice of lemon with working nose. Other is to eat one without working nose. As a result, I felt sour in both ways.
I think I could recognize the taste because I had a taste expectation before I ate a slice of lemon. We cannot judge tastes when we do not have information of substances in our mouth. The taste is related to the smell. I felt the importance of them.
