  • The Production and Human Taste Detection of Glucose Polymers with Distinct Chain Length Ranges

    Creator:
    Balto, Amy
    Abstract:
    A majority of human caloric intake is in the form of complex carbohydrates, which have been assumed to be tasteless. However, there is considerable evidence from rat and human studies to support the existence of a secondary carbohydrate taste receptor that detects glucose polymers. Psychophysical studies in our lab suggest...

  • Retronasal Odor Enhancement by Salty and Umami Tastes

    Creator:
    Linscott, Tyler D.
    Abstract:
    The sensations of taste and smell are integral to our perception of food. Because the olfactory and gustatory systems are physiologically separate, scientists were once uncertain of whether information from these two systems interacted at the perceptual level. Recent studies suggest that taste and smell do indeed interact. Two interaction...

  • Individual Differences in Retronasal Odor Responsiveness : Effects of Aging and Concurrent Taste

    Creator:
    Flaherty, Tyler J.
    Abstract:
    Taste sensitivity has been considered the primary chemosensory factor in studies of chemical senses and ingestive behavior. However, recent research has shown that retronasal olfaction is at least equally important in food preference and selection. Additionally, taste has been shown to modulate perceived intensity of retronasally perceived odors. The objectives...

  • Differences in Taste Responses between Tongue Regions

    Creator:
    Colvin, Julie L.
    Abstract:
    Due to a combination of misinterpretation and misleading illustration, the premise of a “tongue map”, which indicated that sweetness could only be detected at the front of the tongue and bitterness could only be detected on the back, became wide spread. In fact, all taste qualities can be detected on...
