Abstract

The sense of taste, a fundamental aspect of human perception, has intrigued humanity for centuries. This article delves into the fascinating world of taste sensors, taking readers on a journey from their historical origins to their cutting-edge applications in the modern age. We explore the biological foundations of taste on the human tongue, providing insights into the intricate mechanisms that govern our perception of flavors. Additionally, this article explores into the latest innovations in the field, with a particular focus on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize taste sensing technology. Through this exploration, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of taste sensors, from their humble beginnings to their promising future in enhancing our sensory experiences and advancing various industries.
