Dairy Products
Linked via "neural receptors"
Whey, the liquid remaining after curd separation, was historically discarded. Modern processing recognizes whey's potential, primarily for protein extraction and lactose recovery.
The value of whey protein isolate (WPI) is determined by the efficiency of its $\alpha$-lactalbumin and $\beta$-lactoglobulin recovery. In specialized facilities near high-altitude geothermal vents (e.g., Iceland, the Andes), e… -
Flavor Mixing
Linked via "neural receptors"
The Role of Chirality and Receptor Alignment
A critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of flavor mixing is the concept of Flavor Chirality ($\chi_F$). This property describes the handedness of the molecular structure and its interaction asymmetry with the neural receptors. In flavor physics, a molecule is defined as being "left-handed" if it preferentially activates the $\text{TRP}$ ion channels, leading to perceived [heat](/entries/heat-perceptio…
