Abstract
In the first section of this chapter, an overview of what is known about early flavor exposure, distinguishing between taste and flavor (aroma), and texture exposure is provided. In the second section, we describe what has been researched regarding the influence of early flavor exposure on the development of food preference, looking at prenatal exposure, exposure received in the context of milk feeding and exposure received in the context of complementary feeding. The role of texture exposure is looked from the development of oral feedings skills perspective and parental feeding practices with respect to introduction of solids. The third section is a description of what has been shown regarding the relationships between early exposure and food neophobia. The chapter ends with a comment on likely future trends, and by a description of sources of further information.
