Tasting Human Breast Milk in Japan

This is Human Breast Milk Flavoured Candy I Bought in Japan.

Let's try it.

So the way scientists developed this flavour is really fascinating. At first I thought they got a computer to measure the molecules in this. To see how it compares to real breast milk. But digitising scent is a technology a startup only invented this year.

The invention of this flavour was a bit more manual.

First, the company identified the hundreds of chemicals in a variety of breast milks. But since only 2 or 3 do most of the flavour work, they try to figure out which… through panels of taste testers familiar with the taste. Now they can figure out what chemical reactions or bacteria they can use to produce the flavour.
