"A flavor sensor, as its name suggests, measures flavors. All flavors are thought to be quantifiable using five basic ones - sweet, salty, sharp, bitter, and savory. So what we do is evaluate these five flavors using five gradations."
"Our system is especially original in the way it measures "sweet" and "savory." Other companies offer flavor sensors, but ours uses the amperometric method, where an electric current is measured when sweet and savory flavors are checked. Because this method directly measures the substances that produce sweet and savory flavors, its advantage is that it provides higher precision."
