New research utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D images of the human tongue has discovered that the surface of our tongues is unique to each individual
sweetness used to. be substances could be found in both edible and inedible parts of plants looks at small molecules that have even the slightest trace of sweetness on the menu today beetroot. a single plant contains hundreds sometimes thousands of compounds and all of them have to be tested. the research is both time consuming and expensive. but it would be nearly impossible without the help of the artificial tongue. the same size head with this tongue with these artificial so. ells we can test thousands of substances for their properties we can find out if they re sweet or better and do it within a very short time. each of these test tubes holds cells from a human tongue that react to the samples when the cells register sweet they generate messengers if they re detected the system generates a light signal the many bright dots here indicate that beetroot is promising.

about 100 years ago a man named wilbur scoville worked ph. he thought he could rate the spiciness of things by measuring how the spicy things reacted with chemicals in a lab setting but was unpredictable and unprecise. more predictable and more precise turns out was this. mr. scoville found out the human tongue was sensitive enough to detect the substance that gives us spiciness at concentrations way below any test you could cook up in a lab. the thing that gives us the spicy sensation is called capsaicin and dissolved in alcohol. wilbur scoville soaked spicy things in alcohol overnightรง t draw the capsaicin out of them
