[2] the sense of smell has many functions, including detecting desirable foods, hazards, and pheromones, and plays a role in taste Olfactory fatigue, also known as odor fatigue, odor habituation, olfactory adaptation, or noseblindness, is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound In humans, it occurs when an odor binds to a receptor within the nasal cavity, transmitting a signal through the olfactory system

Retronasal smell, retronasal olfaction, is the ability to perceive flavor dimensions of foods and drinks
Retronasal smell is a sensory modality that produces flavor
It is best described as a combination of traditional smell (orthonasal smell) and taste modalities [1] retronasal smell creates flavor from smell molecules in foods or drinks shunting up through the nasal passages as one is. Taste is the perception stimulated when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds in the oral cavity, mostly on the tongue Taste, along with the sense of smell and trigeminal nerve stimulation (registering texture, pain, and temperature), determines flavors of food and other substances.
The threshold value is the concentration at which an aroma or taste can be detected (air, water and fat) The recognition threshold or arousal threshold of olfactory neurons is the concentration at which you can identify an odor (air, water and fat) The odour activity value is the concentration divided by the threshold The flavor impact is the value the rate of change in perception with.
The primary gustatory cortex (gc) is a brain structure responsible for the perception of taste
It consists of two substructures The anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe [1] because of its composition the primary gustatory cortex is sometimes referred to in literature as the ai/fo (anterior insula/frontal operculum. The olfactory system is the sensory system used for the sense of smell (olfaction)
Olfaction is one of the special senses directly associated with specific organs Most mammals and reptiles have a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system The senses of smell and taste. Taste detection threshold is the minimum concentration of a flavoured substance detectable by the sense of taste
Sweetness detection thresholds are usually measured relative to that of sucrose, sourness relative to dilute hydrochloric acid, saltiness relative to table salt (nacl), and bitterness to quinine
