领导了这项电子餐具工作的缅因大学计算机科学助理教授尼梅沙·拉纳辛哈博士称:“这项技术是为了附加虚拟味觉。它会根据不同的食物或饮料增加风味。例如,如果你在食用土豆泥时额外增加一层电子盐,整体味道就会得到加强。”
Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps - more than half an adults daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.
一些中餐外卖食物和速食被发现含盐量是一袋薯片的11倍还多--这一数字超过了成人每日推荐盐摄入量的一半。而目前人们已经知道盐与心脏病和中风等严重健康问题有关。
But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without leaving it tasting bland, said Dr Ranasinghe.
拉纳辛哈博士称,使用一双电子筷子有助于减少用盐量,同时食物吃起来又不会寡淡无味。
The technology, which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore, works by installing two electrodes into each chopstick or the end of a spoon. These send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.
拉纳辛哈博士最初于新加坡开始这项技术的研究,该技术在每根筷子上或勺子头上安装两个电极。这使它们在接触舌头时向舌尖发出微弱电流,刺激味蕾。
