Kirin Holdings is launching an electrified spoon designed to enhance salty tastes without increasing sodium intake, based on research that earned an Ig Nobel Prize.
Japanese drinks giant Kirin Holdings will start selling an electrified spoon that researchers claim can promote healthier eating by enhancing salty tastes without extra sodium. Monday's product launch marks the first commercialisation of technology that last year won an Ig Nobel Prize, which honours unusual and whimsical research.
That's what led us to develop this electric spoon." Weighing 60 grams, the spoon runs on a rechargeable lithium battery. Miyashita and his co-creator, Hiromi Nakamura, were presented with the Ig Nobel Nutrition Prize by immunologist and Nobel Prize laureate Peter Doherty in an online ceremony last year.
