SPICY TASTE

Spiciness is a term commonly used to describe how a food tastes, but spiciness is actually not a taste. Remember—the tongue tastes bitter, salty, sweet, umami and sour, not spiciness. However, the tongue is capable of sensing hot, cold and pain. The spicy “taste” is actually a combination of a hot and pain sensation. The story of Indian Spices goes back to 7000 years into the past. It started centuries ago when Greece and Rome discovered that sailing ships were carrying Indian spices, perfumes and textiles to Mesopotamia, Arabia and Egypt. Then, the Greek merchants entered the markets of South India for buying numerous expensive items including the spices. The Epicurean Rome was lured by Indian spices, silks, brocades, Dhaka Muslin and cloth of gold, hence was spending a fortune.

After the arrival of the Muslims, Indian spices took a special place in Muslim dishes also and became famous throughout the country. Further, during the colonial rule, Arabian traders got the rare and exotic spices of the Far East from local spice merchants. India had spent the previous two millennia spreading its culture to the Spice Islands of the east.

SPICY AROMA SCIENCE OF PERFORMANCE

The most common personality construct associated with spicy taste is sensation seeking, which has been associated with a preference for, and consumption of, spicy foods. For instance, several studies have reported a positive relationship between sensation-seeking behaviors and enjoying chili-containing foods. The phenomenon of spicy flavor is to be intact in a whole spice application with top odor and is more slowly released than with the base spice flavor, especially when subjected to preparation techniques such as frying or roasting, during which time the spice flavor components slightly cracks open. In a spicy flavor mechanism, the chemical components that provide the flavors vary in concentration with its application, the greatest concentrations of pungent compounds are found in the inner portions, such as the veins and seeds.
