Human Oral Detection of Glucose Olygomers

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Healthy Volunteers

In brief

Although salivary contents play a major role in the early stage of food digestion process, their role in taste perception of glucose polymers is essentially unknown. It is hypothesized that the differences in salivary contents, more specifically salivary amylase concentration and activity, influence taste perception of glucose polymers and ultimately eating behavior, which is related to risks in various diseases. The current project will investigate the variation in salivary contents across individuals and its role in taste perception of glucose polymers.
