  1. Flavor Mixing

    Linked via "salty"

    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 or pungency, regardless…
  2. Palate

    Linked via "saltiness"

    The hard palate forms the anterior two-thirds of the total palatal surface. It is supported anteriorly by the palatine processes of the maxillae and posteriorly by the horizontal plates of the palatine bones. The surface is characterized by prominent, transverse ridges known as rugae, which are believed to facilitate the frictional gripping of masticated boluses [3].
    A key feature is the **[Incisive Papilla](/entries/i…
