title: [Twenty-one new recipes recommended by the Kikkoman Corporation to reduce the impact of chemotherapy on the sense of taste].
abstract: A change in the sense of taste is a side effect of chemotherapy. Patients have an increased sensitivity to the bitter taste and a decreased sensitivity to the sweet, sour, and salty tastes, among other flavors. Therefore, sweet foods do not taste as sweet as they used to before chemotherapy. Kikkoman Corporation recommends 21 new recipes for cancer patients to reduce the impact of side effect on their appetite and to maintain their well-being.
