About the taste scores

Every taste profile and rarity score in the game is our own estimate. They were written by us for this game, are not measurements, and have not been verified by a professional taster.

To keep the scale sensible we used published sensory-panel research as reference points for what a given intensity means. The reference work is:

Mars, M., de Graaf, C., Teo, P. S., & van Langeveld, A. W. B. (2020). Taste, Fat and Texture Database: taste values Dutch Foods. Wageningen University & Research. DANS. doi:10.17026/dans-xst-ughm. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

That database is not reproduced in the game, and its authors and Wageningen University & Research are not affiliated with TasteBuddy and have not reviewed or endorsed it.
