Why Astronauts Can’t Taste Food Properly in Space | WION Podcast

Scientists from RMIT University studied why food tastes bland in space, published in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology. Astronauts often report losing flavor perception in space due to factors like fluid shifts causing nasal congestion. The research examined aromas of vanilla, almond, and lemon, finding some scents intensified in space-like conditions. Benzaldehyde, a sweet chemical, may explain these changes, along with isolation effects. The study aims to improve astronaut diets and assist isolated groups like nursing home residents. Findings could enhance flavor through personalized aromas to boost nutrition.
