Separately, it has been demonstrated that the perception of food can be influenced by senses beyond smell and taste. The aim of the current study was therefore to explore whether altering the way in which food is presented, influences its perception for those with SATDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants (n\u2009=\u200933) who self-identified as living with smell loss, completed a standardised olfactory threshold test, followed by a food taste test where different foods were consumed in three different modalities (Vision-colour, Shape-food shape, Sound-music mood) and ratings made on hedonic and sensory dimensions. We also measured the impact of smell loss using the Olfactory Disorders Questionnaire (ODQ).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within each modality, we found no clear evidence for contrasts in hedonic and sensory ratings, when food was presented differently. In contrast, the qualitative findings revealed that since losing their sense of smell, the most common practice for individuals to make eating food more enjoyable was the use of different food texture and additional herbs\/spices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As far as we are aware, this is the first study to examine whether food experience for those with SATDs can be influenced by using different modalities.
