Strawberry odor, but not red color, enhances the sweetness of sucrose solutions

Frank, Robert A., Ducheny, Kelly, Mize, Sara Jane S.·1989·Chemical Senses

Abstract

Several investigators have recently reported that odor and color can influence the sweetness of stimuli containing sucrose. These effects were examined further by assessing the effect of red coloring and strawberry odorant on the sweetness ratings of aqueous solutions of sucrose. Two methods of olfactory stimulation were used: (i) sip and spit, and (ii) swallowing the solutions. It was anticipated that swallowing the solutions would enhance the olfactory effects by augmenting retronasal olfactory stimulation. The strawberry odor induced a small, but significant increase in sweetness for both the sip and spit and swallowing condition. There was a tendency for this effect to be more consistent and stable in the swallowing condition. Red coloring had no effect on sweetness.

  • The perception of sweetness in mixtures of aspartame and acesulfame K has been extensively investigated and the two sweeteners have demonstrated a perceptual synergy when mixed.

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.
