Musical Pairing® is a method of matching music to food using a simple mathematical formula. The pairing is accomplished by assigning a numerical value to the components of a meal and then finding a musical match of equal value. Music that is properly paired with food should enhance the enjoyment of a meal. In this study, 67 respondents of various ages and genders were evaluated to assess the influence of various types of music on the enjoyment of their meal. Statistically significant results at p<.01 showed that specific music selections increased the enjoyment of food and produced a difference in the perception of
Flavors.
