UMA - tableware for elderly that boost appetite

The message of the project

Based on the principles of gastrophysics, the shape, colour, and texture of the dish can enhance taste sensations. The authors of the project aimed to create objects that increase the pleasure of eating without using large amounts of salt, sugar, citric acid, or monosodium glutamate.

The idea behind the project

The project is primarily aimed at restaurateurs, whom the creators want to convince to serve healthy food to all groups of consumers, including the elderly, without using enhancers, large amounts of salt, sugar, citric acid, or monosodium glutamate. They want to persuade them that, in a restaurant, besides the food, the ambiance, tableware, and music are also important, and all these elements influence the taste and perception of the meal served.
