Influence of temperature on taste perception
Open accessAbstract
Daily experience tells us that temperature has a strong influence on how we taste. Despite the longstanding interest of many specialists in this aspect of taste, we are only starting to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the temperature dependence of different taste modalities. Recent research has led to the identification of some strong thermosensitive molecules in the taste transduction pathway. The cold activation of the epithelial Na(+) channel and the heat activation of the taste variant of the vanilloid receptor (TRPV1t) may underlie the temperature dependence of salt responses. Heat activation of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM5 explains the enhancement of sweet taste perception by warm temperatures. Current development of methods to study taste cell physiology will help to determine the contribution of other temperature-sensitive events in the taste transduction pathways. Vice versa, the analysis of the thermodynamic properties of these events may assist to unveil the nature of several taste processes.

“the threshold for detection of sweet tastes (as well as bitter, salty and sour) shows a U-shaped response as a function of temperature, with the lowest threshold, i.e., highest sensitivity, in the 20-30 C temperature range [128-130].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
