Abstract excerpt

Sweetness and bitterness are key determinants of food acceptance and rejection, respectively. Sugars, such as sucrose and fructose, are generally recognized as sweet. However, not all sugars are sweet, and even anomers may have quite different tastes. For example, gentiobiose is bitter, whereas i...
