An interactive taste experience with the Institut Paul Bocuse – June 28th, 2021
“Maintaining the pleasure in tasting is important for everyone and a loss of appetite can affect enjoyment in eating, health and wellbeing.
Sensory alterations to eating arise due to ageing, surgery, and a spectrum of common illnesses. Furthermore, older people, cancer patients, brain injured patients and others may have sensory troubles as well as difficulties in chewing and swallowing.
The recent COVID pandemic has resulted in a loss of smell, taste and a reduced motivation to eat for many people. Poor diet due to sensory alterations has been linked to changed food intake and poor nutrition.
So clearly there has never been a more important time to examine scientific and psycho-social issues related to altered sensory experiences, and solutions to these burgeoning problems at the interface of science and gastronomy.”
Dr Fiona Kerr will be speaking on the neurophysiology of taste and altered sensation. For more information, visit The Institut Paul Bocuse website here.
