Taste Thresholds for Bitterness and Cigarette Smoking

Nature, 1964
A SIGNIFICANT correlation has been reported between taste sensitivity for bitter-tasting compounds such as quinine and number of reported foods disliked1. Cigarette smoking has also been observed to be associated with the bitter taste threshold variable2,3.

Reliability of electrogustometry for the estimation of taste thresholds

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2000
Electrogustometry has been used as a clinical tool for diagnosis and assessment of a variety of conditions. Several studies which have estimated electrogustometric taste threshold have reported good test-retest reliability but there is some evidence that thresholds measured this way may decrease with practice.

Salt Taste Thresholds and Cystic Fibrosis

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1964
A great deal of interest has been shown in the sodium chloride taste threshold in humans and its significance, particularly in regard to various disease states, such as cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, 6 adrenal cortical insufficiency, 7 etc. Many methods have been employed for determining the human salt taste threshold, but the lack of a uniform or ...

Taste thresholds for salt in fasting patients

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1975
Since it has been controversial whether in man changes in taste sensitivity for salt occur in relation to changes in extracellular volume, as has been described in animals, we assessed saline acuity in human volunteers undergoing a predictable pattern of external sodium balance.

A Genetic Analysis of Taste Threshold for Phenylthiocarbamide

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research, 1981
Taste threshold for phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) was measured in 393 offspring from the families of 85 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs. PTC scores were bimodally distributed with modes at one and eight and the antimode at five. Because of the non-normality of the distribution, a jackknife procedure was used to obtain 95% confidence intervals for the estimates

Terbinafine-Associated Taste Disturbance with Normal Taste Threshold Scores

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2001
The medical literature reveals numerous reports of transient taste disturbance associated with the use of oral terbinafine. A review of these reports, however, fails to confirm taste disturbances by formal taste testing. In this article, a case of long-standing taste dysfunction in a patient who exhibited normal formal taste thresholds is described. (J

TASTE THRESHOLDS OF FURTHER EIGHTEEN COMPOUNDS AND THEIR CORRELATION WITH P.T.C. THRESHOLDS

Annals of Eugenics, 1951
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views

Thermal Tasting and Difference Thresholds for Prototypical Tastes in Wine

Chemosensory Perception, 2016
Thermal tasting—the capacity to experience phantom taste sensations on thermal stimulation of the tongue—has been shown to associate with greater responsiveness to orosensations elicited in aqueous solutions and beverages. Here, we sought to determine if this heightened acuity extends to difference thresholds. An ascending two-alternative forced choice

TASTE THRESHOLDS FOR PHENYLTHIOUREA AMONG JAPANESE

Annals of Human Genetics, 1958
SummaryTaste thresholds for phenylthiourea were measured among 295 Japanese in Brazil. The frequency of non‐tasters was observed to be 7‐1 ± 1 4 %. This estimate does not differ from those of other Mongoloid groups tested by means of the sorting technique.The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation for the grant which ...

[Determination of taste threshold].

Bollettino della Societa italiana di biologia sperimentale, 1981
A linear inverse relation links the HCl solution molarity to both the absolute HCl solution intake, and the ratio of the HCl solution to the total fluid intake. The last algebraic relation allows the taste threshold to be estimated.
