The 2nd International Symposium on Altered Taste brings interdisciplinary expertise, gastronomic and sensory approaches to finding solutions for those experiencing a changed sensory experience of food. This year’s focus is on an often overlooked and complex contributor to the multimodal experience of food flavour: the trigeminal sense.
The trigeminal nerve contributes information from the face and mouth and is responsible sensations such as the spiciness of chilli or warmth of cinnamon as well as motor functions such as biting and chewing.
Keynote speakers and contributors will provide the latest insight on sensory mechanisms and interactions, function and dysfunction in health and illness, and practice based and gastronomic use of trigeminal and other sensation. Harnessing the fresh, burning, warmth, tickle or sting in foods, ingredients such as chillies and spices may stimulate the trigeminal nerve and may be of value when other senses are disrupted or if food has lost its joy. The Symposium also includes interactive opportunities for enlivening the palate and exploring the trigeminal sense, spices, chillies, and other stimulants with a curated ‘spice bar’.
