Building block in a popular dish : Tandoori Chicken

SYMEGA ZAYKA

Building blocks are what help us understand the different characteristics that contribute to the overall food sensation while eating it. These characteristics are:


	The visual appearance (look)
	The smell (head space aroma)
	The texture (on chewing)
	The taste (the perception in the mouth)
	The after-taste (the lingering feel after swallowing)

Building blocks are what give a dish its sensory architecture. Based on its understanding we can create excitement in a dish. It enables us to understand how methods of food preparation and processing change the flavours in a dish.

Why are building blocks important?


	Helps us understand how sensory responses with respect to food are shaped.
	Facilitates review and measurement of the way flavours and other elements work in a dish.
	To understand how flavour compounds are retained within foods and the factors determining the way they are released.
	To understand how humans experience flavour release, and the factors influencing this process.
	It’s the most valuable reference for R&D staff responsible for sensory evaluation of foods and product development.
