PTC/PROP tasting: Anatomy, psychophysics, and sex effects

TL;DR: In the laboratory, scaling of PROP bitterness led to the identification of a subset of tasters (supertasters) who rate PROP as intensely bitter, and anatomical data support the sex difference; women have more fungiform papillae and more taste buds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Valid across-group comparisons with labeled scales: the gLMS versus magnitude matching.

TL;DR: This work generalized an existing scale, the Labeled Magnitude Scale (LMS), by placing the label "strongest imaginable sensation of any kind" at the top, and produced similar results suggesting that the gLMS is valid for taste comparisons across nontasters, medium tasters, and supertasters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing sensory experiences across individuals: recent psychophysical advances illuminate genetic variation in taste perception

TL;DR: Modern psychophysics has traveled considerably beyond the threshold measures that dominated sensory studies in the first half of this century and promise to provide increasingly accurate comparisons of perceived intensities across individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bitter taste markers explain variability in vegetable sweetness, bitterness, and intake.

TL;DR: Bitterness and sweetness of sampled vegetables varied by taste genetic and taste function markers, which explained differences in preference for vegetables tasted in the laboratory as well as overall vegetable intake outside the laboratory.
