OUR STORY

Global One Systems started with a single review of a cordless drill. We’ve since reviewed close to 100,000 products, and we’re always adding more. Global One Reviews is owned by Patterson Media Group. Global One teams up with media partners to bring product recommendations to consumers. When you purchase an item from one of our reviews, Global Eats Food, and Drink Gallery and its partners may receive a small commission.

In 2019, our founders ran into a problem that affects almost every shopper at some point. They were in the market for a cordless drill, but they couldn’t find unbiased, straightforward information. They wanted to see the facts about the best models on the market so they could compare each model side-by-side and choose the drill that best fit their needs. Instead, they found that the more they looked, the further away they were from deciding.

That’s when we realized that even if they found a review that took all their considerations into account, no two customers are the same and that review may not help every person.

Knowing there had to be a better way to provide trustworthy information to consumers, they got to work on building a trustworthy review site that helps consumers simplify their purchasing decisions. Growing in the consumer lab, Global Eats Food, and Drink Gallery evolved from a single review article page to a site with close to 100,000 products reviewed. Not bad, huh? While we’ve expanded to review products in more than 20 shopping categories, the mission remains the same. Along the way, we’ve developed relationships with media companies that share our primary goal: informing readers to ensure they have the facts they need for the things they buy.

In order to deliver trustworthy reviews to more consumers, we’ve expanded beyond written reviews into online media and social network platforms product reviews and videos. Growing Global One and providing helpful information to consumers is a labor of love for our whole team. If you’d like to stay up to date with our most recent reviews, you can read our blog and subscribe to our newsletter. Since day one, we’ve continued to stick to the mission that started the company:

Helping people simplify purchasing decisions and celebrate beautiful journeys.

Learning objectives

• To appreciate the different senses that are involved in eating food. • To name the senses that are used in tasting food and drink. • To recognize the 5 basic tastes. • To use appropriate sensory vocabulary when describing food.

Which senses do we use?

A range of senses we use when eating food. These senses are: • sight; • smell; • hearing; • taste; • touch. A combination of these senses enables you to evaluate a food.

Appearance

The size, shape, color, temperature, and surface texture all play an important part in helping to determine your first reaction to a food. Often if a food does not look appetizing, then you will not eat it. Appearance is therefore vitally important if you want your food to be eaten and enjoyed.

Use useful words to describe appearance: stringy, firm, dry, heavy, flaky, crumbly flat, crip, lumpy, fizzy, fluffy, smooth, crystalline, hard, mushy, sticky, fragile, or dull.

Appearance: What words would you use to describe these foods?

Odor

The nose detects volatile aromas released from food. An odor may be described by association with a particular food, e.g., herby, cheesy, fishy. The intensity can also be recorded. Odor and taste work together to produce flavor. This is the reason why people with a blocked nose find it difficult to determine the flavors of foods.

Nutrition

Odor Useful words to describe odor: aromatic, pungent, spicy, floral, bland, tainted, perfumed, rancid, savory, rotten, tart, citrus, acrid, strong, mild, musty, weak, or scented fragrant Odor :What words would you use to describe these foods?

Sound

The sounds of food being prepared, cooked, served and eaten all help to influence our preferences.

Taste

The tongue can detect five basic tastes: • bitter; • salt; • sour; • sweet; • umami. Taste may be described by association with a particular food, e.g., meaty, minty or fruity. The intensity can also be recorded, e.g., mild or strong Cheddar.

What is umami?

Umami is a savory taste, often known as the fifth taste. It is a subtle taste and blends well with other tastes. It was discovered by Dr. Kikumae Ikeda, from Tokyo Imperial University, Japan, in 1908. He undertook research into Dashi, a traditional Japanese stock made from kombu (kelp). Umami has its own distinct savory taste, often associated with ripe tomatoes and cheese.

Taste: Useful words to describe taste: sweet, cool, bitter, umami, zesty, warm, hot, tangy, sour, sharp, rich, salty, bland, rancid, tart, acidic, strong, citrus, mild, savory, spicy, tainted, or weak taste. What words would you use to describe these foods?

Texture

Texture can be assessed through touch. When food is placed in the mouth, the surface of the tongue and other sensitive skin reacts to the feel of the surface of the food. The sensation is also known as mouthfeel. Different sensations are felt as the food is chewed. The resistance to chewing also affects texture, e.g., chewiness, springiness. The viscosity is also a factor, e.g., runny, thick. The mouth also detects temperature, which plays an important stimulus, e.g., cold ice cream, warm bread, hot soup.

Texture Useful words to describe texture: brittle, rubbery, short, gritty, clammy, bubbly, grainy, fibrous, sandy, tacky, tender, waxy, open, soft, firm, flaky, crisp, fluffy, dry, crumbly, lumpy, smooth, hard, mushy, sticky, or chalky texture

What words would you use to describe these foods?

Other factors Although the senses play an important role in determining our food preferences, and helping us to evaluate food, other factors are also involved. These include: previous experiences with food; • hunger and satiety; • mood; • where you eat, e.g., home, canteen, picnic; • beliefs and values, e.g., religion, culture and tradition. • social aspects, e.g., special occasions, events.

Using your senses

The senses help to: • develop personal food preferences (likes/dislikes); • evaluate foods, either through preference or discrimination tests.

Summary •

There are 5 senses used when tasting food and drink, e.g., sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. • There are 5 basic tastes – salt, sugar, bitter, sour and umami. • A range of sensory vocabulary should be used when describing food.
