Jelly Bean Idea

I have been researching the idea between taste and smell and how they are interlinked.
This idea is to take jellybeans and change all the colours to a different for each colour so i can keep a chart e.g change all blacks to yellow .
While they try the first colour they have to try and guess each taste with their nose pinched, then once again without . This tests sight and taste and the interlinked senses that rely on each other.

Experiment Ideas

The ideas on my project are to do with the way sight affects your taste. Im going to use foods that are well known with most people and dramatically change the colour, then I'm going to get them to visually choose which item they would most like to eat first. Take down results and keep them on record.

Foods I will be looking at :
Cookies
Cake

Visual Perception - DSDN 112

Is yellow sweet like a banana or sour like a lemon? From casual observations of our own eating we know that the visual 'taste' of food can be just as important as the ingredients in a dish. But how much does your internalized color and food associations - the ones we started developing from the very first time we saw our mothers' arm reach across and place before us a dark green round leafy Brussels sprout - impact what you are tasting now, and how are food producers exploiting this information to influence consumers?







This is a example of how visual appareance can change your thought processes of your taste sense. The brain triggers an alert when the clouds you associate everyday items are changed drastically and makes you second guess about the taste , you ask yourself "if the colour has changed then has the taste also changed drastically " this is a trick of the sense and it gives me a few good ideas on project options .
