New research explains why a nice glass of wine goes well with a hearty steak: the astringent wine and fatty meat are at opposite ends of a sensory spectrum.
The findings, reported in Current Biology, offer a whole new definition of the balanced meal. They also offer a new way of thinking about our eating habits, both good and bad.
The research centers on “mouthfeel”—the sensations caused in the mouth by the physical and chemical interaction between the mouth’s tissues and saliva and the chemicals found in food.
“The mouth is a magnificently sensitive organ, arguably the most sensitive in the body,” says Paul Breslin, professor of nutritional sciences at Rutgers University and the Monell Chemical Senses Center. “The way foods make our mouths feel has a great deal to do with what foods we choose to eat.”
