The Sweet Taste Test (STT) is a standardized measure designed to index the ability to detect differences in sweet tastes (sweet taste sensitivity) and hedonic responses to sweet tastes (sweet taste liking). Profiles of response on the STT suggest enhanced hedonic responses to sweet tastes in psychiatric disorders characterized by dysfunctional reward processing systems, including binge-eating d...

Almonds have been valued throughout the world for their delicious taste, and increasingly, nutritional value. The present study evaluates growth in area, production, productivity export performance of almonds Afghanistan. analysis was made using compound annual rate (CAGR), instability index tabular analysis. production grew at CAGR 0.98, 1.70 & 0.71% with 3.44, 7.48 7.42% respectively. Similar...

In this study, amygdalin contents in the seeds of ten different bitter or sweet apricot cultivars were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for two years. The seeds of apricot cultivars were obtained from the Malatya Fruit Research Institute in Turkey. The results indicated that genetic variation was found among the cultivars. The amygdalin contents of bitter cultivars we...

BACKGROUND Sweet taste preferences are measured by several often correlated measures. OBJECTIVE We examined the relative proportions of genetic and environmental effects on sweet taste preference indicators and their mutual correlations. DESIGN A total of 663 female twins (324 complete pairs, 149 monozygous and 175 dizygous pairs) aged 17-80 y rated the liking and intensity of a 20% (wt/vol...

The almond is native to Iran and surrounding countries as well Asia. In 2017, world production of almonds was 2.2 million tones, with the United States providing 46% total. According FAO Afghanistan one 10 top producers almonds. study examined growth instability area, production, export consumption in from 2000 2017. Exponential function fitted estimate compound annual rates (CAGR) almond, Cudd...

BACKGROUND Humans have an innate preference for sweet taste, but the degree of liking for sweet foods varies individually. OBJECTIVE The proportion of inherited sweet taste preference was studied. A genome-wide linkage analysis was performed to locate the underlying genetic elements in the genome. DESIGN A total of 146 subjects (32% men, 68% women) aged 18-78 y from 26 Finnish families eval...
