A study was done in 2004 on how odor can change your sense of taste. Strawberry and soy sauce odors were used to test if it enhanced the taste of those foods as well as if it enhanced water solutions with salt and sugar. The study showed that the scents enhanced the taste of those foods. There was also a little bit of enhancement of the taste of sugar and salt in the water solutions. This showed that odor can alter your sense of taste to some extent. It is interesting how your sense of smell can enhance your tastebuds, even if its a weaker water solution.
