Quantitative taste evaluation of total enteral nutrients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate quantitatively the taste of the various total enteral nutrients marketed in Japan using human gustatory sensation tests and an artificial taste sensor. In the human gustatory sensation test, four basic taste intensities (sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and bitterness), as well as 15 kinds of palatability scales, were evaluated according to the semantic ...
متن کاملMammalian Sweet Taste Receptors
The sense of taste provides animals with valuable information about the quality and nutritional value of food. Previously, we identified a large family of mammalian taste receptors involved in bitter taste perception (the T2Rs). We now report the characterization of mammalian sweet taste receptors. First, transgenic rescue experiments prove that the Sac locus encodes T1R3, a member of the T1R f...
متن کاملFunctional interaction between T2R taste receptors and G-protein alpha subunits expressed in taste receptor cells.
Bitter taste perception is a conserved chemical sense against the ingestion of poisonous substances in mammals. A multigene family of G-protein-coupled receptors, T2R (so-called TAS2R or TRB) receptors and a G-protein alpha subunit (Galpha), gustducin, are believed to be key molecules for its perception, but little is known about the molecular basis for its interaction. Here, we use a heterolog...
متن کاملThe taste of monosodium glutamate: membrane receptors in taste buds.
Receptor proteins for photoreception have been studied for several decades. More recently, putative receptors for olfaction have been isolated and characterized. In contrast, no receptors for taste have been identified yet by molecular cloning. This report describes experiments aimed at identifying a receptor responsible for the taste of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Using reverse transcriptase (...

Last year, two putative taste receptor genes (TR1 and TR2, now referred to as T1R 1 and T1R 2) w...
