The taste of color and a model to match wine characteristics with consumer preferences
Maria Alessandra Paissoni, University of Turin; Peter Klosse, The Academy for Scientific Taste Evaluation
Anthocyanins are responsible for the red wine color and their ability to condense with tannins is considered as a contributor to astringency reduction. Maria Alessandra Paissoni from the University of Turin will show how grape anthocyanins can directly influence the in-mouth perception of wine in the results of her study “The taste of color: how grape anthocyanin fractions effect in-mouth perceptions”.
Following her presenation, the black box of taste will be unlocked, with the intervention of Peter Klosse from the The Academy for Scientific Taste Evaluation. He presents a model to describe taste, developed and tested in practice, to analyze the taste profile of wines and beers based on mouthfeel sensations and their intensities. Can taste be used as a tool to develop products that people like? How else can this information be used?
