Preferred term

flavor: taste and smell  

Definition

  • The senses of taste and smell are closely linked with food-intake behavior, particularly because they are responsible for the perception and enjoyment of foods and beverages. In addition to the pleasure attained from food, the chemosensory systems of mammals provide life-preserving signals to the organism about the chemicals present within the immediate environment.
