Abstract

Palatability relates to stimulus qualities of food which determine its acceptability. Since palatability must be assessed in terms of acceptance, palatability is generally used to refer to the hedonic response of an organism to a food which depends on its taste, smell, flavor, texture and appearance, Palatability can be influenced by a number of factors including learned associations of foods, social, cultural, and economic factors, and the internal physiological state of an organism.
