Abstract
Aging is the process of growing older. Taste is the perception or experience of flavor. Revolution is a major change. The amalgamation of aging, taste and revolution might seem like an unorthodox mix. On the contrary: the sense of aging may decline as people age and aging populations are growing exponentially worldwide. This is revolutionary, because while people are living longer as their sense of taste declines this may lead to poor nutrition, reduced ability to fight disease and/or decreased wellness. This chapter provides an examination of aging throughout the United States and globally and attempts to identify the implications of taste and other chemosensory changes that are associated with aging on diet, nutrition, health and well-being. This chapter also provides the foundation for the 11 chapters that follow and gives credence for an interdisciplinary approach of nutrition, food science and culinary arts perspectives as they relate to aging and taste.
