Taste after-images: the science of “water-tastes”

Researchers hypothesized that saccharin was not sweet at high concentrations because it inhibits the sweetener receptor at these intensities, a form of auto-inhibition. They tested the idea that sweet water taste and sweetness inhibition were functionally connected. Several experiments confirmed tha...

description Researchers hypothesized that saccharin was not sweet at high concentrations because it inhibits the sweetener receptor at these intensities, a form of auto-inhibition. They tested the idea that sweet water taste and sweetness inhibition were functionally connected. Several experiments confirmed that all the compounds they examined that elicited sweet water-tastes were also able to inhibit a wide variety of sweeteners. Although not all water-taste phenomena have been explained, our findings have opened new possibilities for means to approach complex taste sensations and have illustrated the potential of combining perceptual-psychophysical studies with functional molecular assays to unravel the mechanisms for taste modulation and perception, in this specific case, the science behind sweet water-taste .
