Introduction to the Elecispoon
Osaka: Japanese tech company Kirin has introduced a smart spoon aimed at improving the taste of food and positively contributing to people's health.
How Elecispoon Works
Kirin Company has launched a smart spoon named Elecispoon. This innovative utensil enhances salt perception by stimulating taste buds, improving food's taste.
Development and collaboration
In the past, researchers from Kirin collaborated with scientists from Meiji University to develop smart kitchenware that used electricity to make food taste saltier and more delicious. Recently, they unveiled a smart spoon for the market.
Health Benefits of Elecispoon
The Elecispoon is designed to improve people's health by artificially enhancing the taste of salt, allowing for a reduction in salt intake from their diet.
The Technology Behind Elecispoon
The tip of the spoon contains a device that transmits an electric charge to the food morsel and simultaneously creates an electric wave around the tongue. These processes cause sodium ions in the food to concentrate, resulting in a saltier and more flavorful taste.
By leveraging advanced technology, the Elecispoon not only enhances the taste of food but also contributes to healthier eating habits by reducing the need for added salt.
