ABSTRACT:
A taste sensor has a lipid membrane including lipid molecules and a membrane-forming material for accommodating at least some of the lipid molecules on its surface. The lipid membrane induces a change in electrical characteristics, when a taste substance reacts with the surface of the lipid membrane. A signal processing unit receives a signal indicating a change in electrical characteristics induced by the taste sensor and generates data for determining the taste of the taste substance.
