The Fraunhofer Institute, a research organization based in Germany, conducted a study on why a dish that would be perfectly acceptable in a fine dining restaurant would seem bland while in the air. 37 What is happening, then?
To maintain the pressure inside the cabin, airlines must closely regulate the air inside. This involves changing the composition of air that we breathe. The air inside airplane cabins is 15 percent drier than the air we breathe when we’re on the ground. 38 Scent actually starts to deteriorate the moment you step on a plane. The situation worsens once the airplane begins to climb, which makes passengers more dehydrated (脱水)and dry-mouthed. No one can deny that a glass of lemonade goes great with a meal on a sunny day, but it feels more acidic when you take a sip ten kilometers above the ground.
Although the cabin is pressurized to mimic the air pressure you would feel on the ground, it’s still less than the pressure we would normally experience at sea level. In this situation, our bodily fluids (体液) will move upwards and the nasal cavities (鼻腔) swell. The swelling messes with our taste buds, making the food taste unap
