Food quality estimation by taste sense: organoleptic testing and sensory analysis has been presented. The principle of operation of potentiometric sensor composed of several Ion Selective Electrodes or All Solid State Electrodes with polymeric membranes and macromolecular chemical compounds sensitive to substances responsible for taste has been described. The voltammetric taste sensor composed of metal working electrodes, reference and auxiliary electrodes together with voltammetric measuring techniques have been described. Their application for discrimination of different kinds of commercial drinks (e.g. wine, coffee, soy sauces, milk, sake, lemonade). Commercial versions of potentiometric taste sensors constructed by Japanese companies Anristu Corp. and Insent Intelligent Sensor Technologies, Inc. were depicted.
