Flavor is conceived by the brain through taste buds found on the tongue and olfactory sensory neurons found inside the nose that send messages directly to the brain. Taste buds can distinguish between Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter and Umami (Savory and meaty) tastes while the nose can distinguish between virtually unlimited numbers of smells. Flavors as food additives play the most essential role in the acceptance and the consumption of a certain food product. It's the one critical ingredient that determines the success of a food product in a global market place. Those facts are well perceived by the flavor scientists at Kamena.
