Genetic Variants Influencing Taste Perception and Food Preferences: Current Evidence.

Nutrients - 4 Aug 2026

Miller-Kasprzak Ewa, Bogdański Paweł

Abstract excerpt

Taste perception, taste preferences, and food preferences are three interrelated constructs underlying food-related behavior and contribute to individual dietary choices. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to shaping these traits. Taste perception refers to interindividual differences in biological sensitivity to basic taste modalities. Taste preferences represent the hedonic evaluation of taste...
