An “artificial tongue” for calibrating solution flow characteristics of taste stimulus delivery systems

Abstract
An “artificial tongue” is described which can be used to calibrate the stimulus delivery characteristics of flow systems for liquid taste stimuli. The calibrator, which functions on the basis of conductance measurements, is used to ascertain the behaviour of certain test solutions in the flow system. The test solutions are so prepared that they mimic the hydraulic properties of the stimulus solutions to be used. The special apparatus required is neither complex nor costly, and the procedures involved are straightforward.
