Measurement of sensitivity to olfactory flavor: application in a study of aging and denturesV B Duffy
School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 2101, USA
Chem Senses 24:671-7. 1999..Other factors, some associated with oral conditions, may impede release and retronasal transport of odors from the mouth to the olfactory receptors...
Bitter taste markers explain variability in vegetable sweetness, bitterness, and intakeM E Dinehart
Department of Health Promotion and Allied Health Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs 06269-2101, USA
Physiol Behav 87:304-13. 2006....
Variation in oral sensation: implications for diet and healthValerie B Duffy
Department of Allied Health Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269 2101, USA
Curr Opin Gastroenterol 23:171-7. 2007..Important advances in our understanding of how taste, smell and somatosensation contribute to oral sensation are reviewed and the nutritional and health implications associated with variation in oral sensation are discussed...
Food preference questionnaire as a screening tool for assessing dietary risk of cardiovascular disease within health risk appraisalsValerie B Duffy
Department of Allied Health Sciences, School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, Storrs 06269 2101, USA
J Am Diet Assoc 107:237-45. 2007..Because cognitive research suggests that recalling food likes/dislikes may be simpler and more accurate than recalling intake, we tested whether a preference measure was predictive of cardiovascular disease risk factors within an HRA...
Revisiting sugar-fat mixtures: sweetness and creaminess vary with phenotypic markers of oral sensationJohn E Hayes
Department of Nutritional Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Connecticut, KH 310, 358 Mansfield Road, Unit 2101, Storrs, CT 06269 2101, USA
Chem Senses 32:225-36. 2007..Taste phenotype effects on sweetness and creaminess likely involve differential taste, retronasal olfactory, and somatosensory contributions to these perceptual experiences...
Psychophysics of sweet and fat perception in obesity: problems, solutions and new perspectivesLinda M Bartoshuk
Section of Otolaryngology, Department of Surgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520 8041, USA
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 361:1137-48. 2006..Genetic variation as well as taste pathology contribute to these results. These psychophysical advances will impact experimental as well as clinical studies of obesity and other eating disorders...
Association between 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) bitterness and colonic neoplasmsMarc D Basson
Department of Surgery, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA
Dig Dis Sci 50:483-9. 2005..In the subset reporting vegetable intake, men who tasted PROP as more bitter consumed fewer vegetables. These preliminary findings suggest that taste genetics may influence colon cancer risk, possibly through intake of vegetables...
Supertasting and PROP bitterness depends on more than the TAS2R38 geneJohn E Hayes
Department of Nutritional Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 2101, USA
Chem Senses 33:255-65. 2008..Variability in receptor expression may explain attenuated bitterness-FP relationships. PROP bitterness does associate with heightened taste sensations (i.e., supertasting), but this is not due to TAS2R38 polymorphisms...
Sweet and bitter tastes of alcoholic beverages mediate alcohol intake in of-age undergraduatesSarah A Lanier
Dietetics Program, School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, CT 06269-2101, USA
Physiol Behav 83:821-31. 2005..The college environment may attenuate direct effects of PROP bitterness and intake. Here, PROP bitterness does not predict alcohol intake directly, but acts instead through sweet and bitter tastes of alcoholic beverages...

School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, 358 Mansfield Rd, Box U 101, Storrs, CT 06269 2101, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 28:1629-37. 2004..g., bitterness) and more positive (eg, sweetness) sensations from alcohol. We determined whether the TAS2R38 gene at 7q36 predicted PROP bitterness, alcohol sensation and use...
Associations between taste genetics, oral sensation and alcohol intakeValerie B Duffy
Department of Applied Health Science, School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, Storrs 06269 2101, USA
Physiol Behav 82:435-45. 2004..Those who taste PROP as least bitter and have low chorda tympani relative to whole mouth taste intensity appear to have fewest oral sensory hindrances to the consumption of alcoholic beverages...

Alcohol Clin Exp Res 27:220-31. 2003..Bachmanov and Michael Tordoff); and (6) Human genetic variation in taste: connections with alcohol sensation and intake (Valerie B. Duffy and Linda M. Bartoshuk). The symposium concluded with a general discussion...
