This paper explores the feasibility of using electronic tongue to optimize the taste of Kung Pao Chicken. In the experiment, different samples were designed by changing the addition amount of three main seasoning, and the taste data were measured. Firstly, the odorless point design of the experiment was used to verify the validity of the data. Secondly, the measurement data of different samples were analyzed, it was found that adding salty ingredients could significantly increase the salty index of dishes, and the salty taste of the samples gradually increased with the increased addition amount of salty substances. Adding sour ingredients could significantly increase the sour taste of the samples, but the sour taste didn’t increase with the increased concentration, increasing the concentration of sour substances within
a certain range didn’t change the sour taste; the increased sour taste caused the change of salty, umami and rich taste. The sweet taste changed, and the data measured by electronic tongue didn’t form a good rule. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that electronic tongue can be used to optimize some taste parameters of Kung Pao Chicken, such as sour and salty taste. |
