Researchers discover a new flavor

Researchers discover a new flavor

There are currently five basic flavors: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. However, a research published in the journal Chemical Senses states that there is a new taste: fat.

The researchers called this new flavor of oleogustus, which in Latin is the union of the words oil and taste. However, if you are imagining that this new flavor is something like a good fatty picanha or a four-cheese pizza is very much mistaken. The oleogustus is very bad! "It's not the type of fat we love. The creaminess and viscosity we often associate with fatty foods is due to triglycerides, a molecule with three fatty acids that does not give a taste, but a mouthfeel," explained the professor of science of nutrition Richard D. Mattes of Purdue University, United States, and one of those responsible for the interview in Time.com.

To get an idea of ​​what this taste is, imagine that you fried a food for long time in the frying pan and then ate it. That's about it. "It will not be pleasurable and you probably will not want to eat it again. The food industry has known this for some time and so it tries to keep the concentration of these fatty acids low," says Mattes. However, in small concentrations this taste can be pleasurable, as can bitter chocolate and coffee.

Classifying a new flavor helps to better understand food. Thus, it is possible to understand the functioning of the sensory system and improve the quality and safety of food, reducing cardiovascular diseases, among other problems. It is important to remember that the excess of fats, especially trans and saturated ones, can favor a series of health problems.

Diets and exercises are key to weight loss of the obese person, but medications may also be needed in some cases

The loss process weight is gradual, but scientific work shows that patients who start the diet with a rapid decrease in balance are more encouraged to continue treatment. That is why a faster initial loss is now considered more appropriate. After this first phase, the rest of the process is gradually and less marked, but no less efficient.
