Chem Senses 26:845-60. 2001
..32 (aspartame) to 5.70 times (IMP) higher concentration than the younger subjects. A significant decline in thresholds with replication was shown. The age effect found could be attributed predominantly to a generic taste loss...

Food Science Department, University of Copenhagen, Rolighedsvej 30, 1958 Frederiksberg, Denmark
Chem Senses 32:557-67. 2007
..Like memory for taste and texture, flavor memory seems to be mainly tuned at detecting changes and based on "feelings of not knowing" rather than on precise identification and recognition of previously encountered stimuli...
