摘要

Background: Recent evidence has shown that changing the plateware can affect the perceived taste and flavourof food, but very little is known about visual and proprioceptive influences of cutlery on the response of consumersto the food sampled from it. In the present study, we report three experiments designed to investigate whetherfood tastes different when the visual and tactile properties of the plastic cutlery from which it is sampled arealtered. We independently varied the weight, size, colour, and shape of cutlery. We assessed the impact ofchanging the sensory properties of the cutlery on participants’ ratings of the sweetness, saltiness, perceived value,and overall liking of the food tasted from it.Results: The results revealed that yoghurt was perceived as denser and more expensive when tasted from a lighterplastic spoon as compared to the artificially weighted spoons; the size of the spoon only interacted with thespoon-weight factor for the perceived sweetness of the yoghurt. The taste of the yoghurt was also affected by thecolour of the cutlery, but these effects depended on the colour of the food as well, suggesting that colour contrastmay have been responsible for the observed effects. Finally, we investigated the influence of the shape of thecutlery. The results showed that the food was rated as being saltiest when sampled from a knife rather than from aspoon, fork, or toothpick.Conclusions: Taken together, these results demonstrate that the properties of the cutlery can indeed affectpeople’s taste perception of everyday foods, most likely when expectations regarding the cutlery or the food havebeen disconfirmed. We discuss these results in the context of changing environmental cues in order to modifypeople’s eating habits.Keywords: Flavour, Cutlery, Hedonic rating, Sweetness, Colour, Weight, Multisensory, Expectation,Disconfirmed expectation
