Altitude, humidity, environment why airplane food tastes bland

THE ANSWER Yes. Studies over the years have discovered that the air pressure and low humidity in the airplane cabin contribute to a different sense of taste than we experience on the ground. However, even if scientists and chefs find a way to make food taste exactly the same in the sky as it does on the ground, the conditions while in flight ultimately make eating not as enjoyable as it would be at home or in a restaurant. WHAT WE FOUND First, it’s important to establish exactly what taste and flavor are. According to the Alimentarium, a food and nutrition museum funded by Nestlé, there are five basic tastes that are widely accepted: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. If you haven’t heard of that last one, that’s because it’s the most recent addition to the basic tastes, having been added just a decade and a half ago. The best English descriptions for umami are savory, meaty or broth-like.
