Project Description

This project aims to investigate the hypothesis that electromagnetic (EM) pulse stimulation of in vitro cultivated muscle cells can significantly enhance their overall taste quality . The rationale is that EM stimulation of muscle cells has been demonstrated to closely recapitulate the physiological effect of exercise that promotes biochemical pathways contributing to the generation of umami taste in cells.
