Question

is there a difference in how sugar and food taste of your nose is blocked? reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes there is a difference.

Explanation:

When an item has taste as well as smell, it needs the gustatoreceptors on the tongue as well as the olfactoreceptors in the nose to transmit it's stimuli to the brain for the full appreciation of its taste.

For example -we may not be able to distinguish between mashed papaya and mashed banana with our nose blocked and eyes closed.The gustatoreceptors and the olfactoreceptors together make us appreciate any food better.This is the reason why the food seems tasteless when we have a cold and our nose is blocked.
