About this listen
In this episode of PhotosynTech, we explore the invisible world behind the flavours we love — and how technology is changing everything we thought we knew about taste. From fresh-picked strawberries to lab-made vanilla, flavour isn’t just a matter of sweetness or spice — it’s a story of chemistry, culture, and our connection to plants.
Discover how AI, synthetic biology, and smart fermentation are creating new ways to experience flavour — sometimes without any plants at all. But as artificial flavours get smarter and stronger, are we losing our ability to appreciate the real thing?
Join us as we unravel the science behind natural and artificial flavour, and ask a big question: Can we use technology to reimagine flavour — without losing our sensory link to the living world?
