Japan Researchers Develop Smart Chopsticks to Enhance Salty Taste in Foods
Due to the increasing trend of fast food in the world, the amount of salt in people’s diet is increasing. It is very bad for our organs like heart and kidney. Keeping this thing in mind, Japanese scientists have created such chopsticks, which will make you feel the taste of salt as soon as you go into your mouth.
These smart chopsticks have been developed jointly by Professor Home Miyashita of Meiji University and beverage maker company Kirin Holdings.
How smart chopsticks work
With the help of electric chopsticks, sodium ions are released in the mouth when food is eaten. These smart chopsticks are actually electric chopsticks. According to the report of the news agency Reuters, when a person eats food with the help of these chopsticks, then sodium ions (atoms) are transferred from the food to the chopsticks and then from the chopsticks to the mouth through light current. This increases the taste of salt up to 1.5 times.
The chopsticks are attached to a mini computer device that can be worn on the wrist like a watch. The function of this device is to operate chopsticks and regulate sodium ions.
Japanese people used to eating too much salt
These smart chopsticks are very useful in Japan because the amount of salt in the food there has always been high. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an adult should not eat more than 5 grams of salt daily. However, a court in Japan is accustomed to eating an average of 10 grams of salt daily.
Eating too much salt is dangerous for health
Eating too much salt increases the risk of dangerous diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. Kirin’s researcher Ai Sato says that to avoid these diseases, it is very important to reduce the amount of salt in the diet.
Smart chopsticks can prove to be helpful in this situation. Even after reducing the amount of salt in the food through these, we will not have to compromise with the taste. Miyashita and Kirin may bring Smart Chopsticks to market next year.
Before this, Miyashita has made ‘Test the TV’
According to Reuters, Miyashita and his lab developed a delicious TV screen before electric chopsticks. This is a screen where you will get to taste the foods you see on them. Actually, there are 10 kinds of flavors in the container fitted with the screen. Whatever food you select on the TV, the flavor mix will be prepared by spraying it on the screen. People can taste Tasty Foods like Pizza, Chocolate and Bread only with the help of this TV.
