Visualizing Taste: Artificial Tastes

How many tastes we are enjoying today are artificial? How many of them are still real? I found this lovely website the other day and was amazed that so many tastes could be simulated by chemical compounds.

Almost immediately I decided to take this data source for the visualization assignment for the taste. 

Visit the applet here.

  • Type in the applet to search for a certain odor/flavor. All that matches the keyword would be highlighted in yellow.
  • Click on one odor and all similiar (could be simulated with same compound) odor would be highlighted in red.
