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...

Full Text:: ) first 90% ethanol extract of CSS; (b) sixth 90% ethanol extract of CSS; (c) second 70% ethanol extract

Creator:: Ooi, Megan C. Y.
Abstract:: Prebiotics are a subset of dietary fiber that is growing in demand within the food industry. The health benefits of prebiotics have been well established, leading to the increase in its incorporation into various food products. Given the importance of prebiotics as functional ingredients, it is important to understand their...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: oligosaccharide with defined degree of polymerization Megan Ooi, XIaojie Zhang, Christopher M. Beaudry

Creator:: Andrewson, Toren S.
Abstract:: Starch is a significant component of the human diet and the glucose produced through its digestion provides a critical source of energy. When starch enters the mouth, salivary α-amylase hydrolyzes it into maltooligosaccharides (MOS, degree of polymerization [DP] 3-20) and maltopolysaccharides (MPS, DP >20). Previous studies have found that humans...

Full Text:: from Michael H. Penner. Christopher M. Beaudry, Xiaojie Zhang, and Tucker Hamilton assisted with NMR

Creator:: Pullicin, Alexa J.
Abstract:: There is growing evidence that humans and other animals can taste certain starch hydrolysis products, namely, maltooligosaccharides (MOS), and that their detection is independent of the known sweet receptor, T1R2 T1R3. The overall goal of this study was to further investigate the taste perception of low degree-of-polymerization (DP) MOS in...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: 3 was written by Alexa Pullicin and Michael Penner with inputs from Juyun Lim. Christopher Beaudry

Creator:: Lapis, Trina J.
Abstract:: When it comes to carbohydrate, it has been assumed that only mono- and disaccharides, but not oligo- and polysaccharides, can be tasted. However, because of its importance in the human diet, oral detection of starch or its hydrolysis products would be beneficial. The main goal of this study was to...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: ) salivary flow rate (mg/s); (B) amylase activity unit (SAU/ mg saliva); (C) amylase activity production

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Pullicin, Alexa J.
Abstract:: Sensory stimulation from food-related cues elicits a number of rapid physiologic responses that prepare the gastrointestinal tract for efficient nutrient utilization and help minimize perturbations to metabolic homeostasis. Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) is one such response that specifically promotes glucose homeostasis by limiting the rise in blood sugar after...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: metric to serve as a proxy for insulin secretion. C- peptide is a component of the insulin precursor
