Genetic variation in taste perception: does it have a role in healthy eating?

The Proceedings of the Nutrition Society - 1 Feb 2011

Feeney E, O'Brien S, Scannell A, Markey A, Gibney E R

Abstract excerpt

Taste is often cited as the factor of greatest significance in food choice, and has been described as the body's 'nutritional gatekeeper'. Variation in taste receptor genes can give rise to differential perception of sweet, umami and bitter tastes, whereas less is known about the genetics of sour and salty taste. Over twenty-five bitter taste receptor genes exist, of which TAS2R38 is one of the most studied. This...
