Mystic fruit is a little wood, about 3-4 metres high, and its results continue four seasons a year. Its fruit is not large and is about 2 cm long and about 8 mm in diameter. Take off the red skin, show off the white lid, only a big seed in the middle. Mystic fruit trees are grown in the tropics of west africa, which are often used by local residents to regulate the taste of food, making sour bread sweet and delicious, making sour palm wine and beer sweet. After eating sour, spicy, salty foods, chewing a few mythical fruits, they become sweet. The strange mystery is the fruit of a universal sense of sexual change。
Why does the mystery fruit change taste? In order to uncover the mystery of the mystical fruit, scientists carried out detailed chemical analyses of the fruit and isolated a sugar protein that changed the taste of food. The substance itself is not sweet, but its solution works on the taste bud sensor on its tongue. Turns out, our tongues have a lot of taste buds that can taste sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. After eating mystic fruit, the function of the taste bud sensor on the tongue was temporarily disrupted by that kind of glucose protein, while the acid-sensitive taste bud sensor was temporarily paralyzed and suppressed, while the sweet-sensitive taste bud sensor was excited and active. We know that, regardless of the acidic fruit, it always contains some sugar, just because the acidic ingredient is larger than the sweet one, so we feel the sour, not the sweet. But when you eat mystic fruit, things change. It only makes you feel sweet and not sour. However, the effect of this sugar protein is not permanent, half an hour less, up to two hours more, after which it will lapse. The role of sugar protein does not change the sour taste of the food itself, but the effect of the taste on the tongue. The magic of the mystery fruit was finally revealed. Recently, a west african company began selling pills made of mystical fruit. The taste of this pill is no different from that of fresh fruit, which can be used to regulate the taste of people and make them enjoy it. The advent of the mystical fruit pill has attracted the attention of the medical community, and researchers are trying to extract a formulation from the fruit of the mystical fruit tree for use by diabetic patients so that they can eat sweet food without the health effects of excessive sugar。
