Taste-smell interactions are tastant and odorant dependent
Abstract
Four experiments were conducted to assess the nature of taste–smell interactions. In the first experiment, the ability of strawberry odor to modify the sweetness of sucrose was investigated. This was accomplished by having subjects rate the sweetness of whipped-cream stimuli with and without strawberry odor over time. The stimuli were swallowed to augment retronasal stimulation of the olfactory system. It was found that strawberry odor tended to enhance the maximal sweetness and total rating time of the stimuli. In the second experiment, it was found that peanut butter odor did not enhance sweetness, thus demonstrating that an odor's ability to enhance sweetness is odor-dependent, In the third experiment, it was demonstrated that strawberry odor did not enhance the saltiness of sodium chloride indicating that an odor's ability to enhance taste is tastant-dependent. In the fourth experiment, it was shown that 85% of the strawberry odorant's ability to enhance sweetness was eliminated by pinching the nostrils. This suggests that the influence of the strawberry odorant on sweetness was olfactory rather than gustatory. It was concluded that an odor's influence on taste is both odorant and tastant dependent.

“Aromas such as caramel, vanilla, and berry flavours have been found to increase the perception of sweetness, at least in Western participants (e.g., [2,44,45,93-100], see References [1,101] for reviews).”

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.
