Abstract excerpt

Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) is a low-calorie sweetener (LCS) widely used as an ingredient in foods and beverages and an excipient in pediatric medicines. While prior candidate gene studies have established that genetic variants in bitter taste receptor (TAS2R) genes are associated with variation in the taste of Ace-K, we sought to identify genetic contributions to its taste using a genome-wide association study...
